Answer:

The population is the set of all the elements. And the sample is a subset of the population.

Step-by-step explanation:

The population is the set of all the elements. And the sample is a subset of the population.

The sample is used to make conclusions regarding the population.

A poll is conducted from the target population to determine the general opinions of the individuals of that population.

The basic method of polling is to select a few thousand individuals from the population and ask their opinions on a certain subject.

The poll will result usually in two values, the proportion of individual in favor and the proportion of individual not in favor.

Consider the example below.

The polling done to determine the favorability of the new brand of tea. The polling was done using a few hundred members of the tea drinking community of a country. The poll resulted as follows:

In favor = 72%

Not in favor = 28%

The population is the entire tea drinking community of a country.

In this case the sample consist of few 100 people of the tea drinking community of a country.

Digiron [165]

Answer:

5.2 Minutes, or 5 minutes and 12 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this problem by working backward.  Since our number gets smaller by a 1/10 or 0.1, in order to work backward we must multiply 3.60 by 10/9, since one tenth has been taken away already.  When we do this, we get 4.0.  When we add 1.2 minutes to that, we get a final answer of 5.2 minutes, or 5 minutes and 12 seconds.

Answer:

1. a) Square

2. c) Rectangle

Step-by-step explanation:

1. If you cut this rectangular prism in way to be PERPENDICULAR to the base, that means you're cutting it straight down, from the top to the bottom, in a vertical line.  The cross-section obtained will be just like an end of the prism, which in this case is a square.  Because it's a regular rectangular prism, no matter where you cut it, as long as it's vertical, perpendicular to the base, you'll get a square due to this particular form.  Technically, the answer could also be a rectangle, since a square is a rectangle.

2.  you cut this rectangular prism in way to be PARALLEL to the base, that means you're cutting it straight, from the front to the back, in an horizontal line. The cross-section obtained will be just like an top of the prism, which in this case is a rectangle.  Because it's a regular rectangular prism, no matter where you cut it, as long as it's an horizontal line, parallel to the base, you'll get a rectangle due to this particular form.
