Hey there,

To find percent of error you will start by subtracting 270 from 302

302 - 270 = 32

32 • 100 = 3200

3200 / 270 = 11.9

11.9 rounds to 12% so
about 12%

Hope I helped :)

To determine how a city’s residents feel about building a new youth center, a group considers surveying 50 random children at a
Lemur [1.5K]
This would result in a biased sample because:

- the survey is surveying elementary kids about a new youth center

most of those kids are more likely than not to want a youth center, so most of them will naturally agree without a doubt for the need of a youth center

- Even the adults at the elementary school are more likely than not to agree with a new youth center because they are teachers and can even benefit from working at the youth center

- in final words the reason why this survey will be biased is because there is no variety in the participants being tested. It is basically just asking teachers she students their preference, excluding the rest of an entire community

please vote my answer brainliest. thanks!

Seven less than 5 times a number is 62. What is the number. (Explain)
Marrrta [24]

7-5*14=62

The equation above is how you would write it with a variable.

The number is 14.

This is because if you do 14 times 5, the answer is 70. Then If you subtract from that, it would be 62.

You can also do 62+7, which is 70, and then divide that by 5 and you will still get 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal.

Therefore, set any two opposite sides equal to each other to solve for a:

a+3=2a+2,\\\\3=a+2,\\a=\boxed{1}
