A) If you only sample people in a sports supply store, your sample will be biased.  People in a sports supply store are more likely to be people that belong to a gym.
B) While it does not have necessarily the same amount of bias as sampling people in the sports supply store, people that go to a park are generally more likely to be people that exercise or have a gym membership.
C) Taking a random sample of people in town is a good way to get a non-biased sample.  They are not necessarily predisposed to answer your question one way or another.
D) For the same reason as choice A, this is a biased sample.

C is the best choice.

In 4 ​minutes, a conveyor belt moves 800 pounds of recyclable aluminum from the delivery truck to a storage area. A smaller belt
kkurt [141]

Answer:

It takes 2 minutes 4 seconds to move the cans to storage area if both the belts are used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - In 4 ​minutes, a conveyor belt moves 800 pounds of recyclable

            aluminum from the delivery truck to a storage area. A smaller belt

            moves the same quantity of cans the same distance in 6 minutes.

To find - If both belts are​ used, find how long it takes to move the cans

              to the storage area.

Proof -

Given that,

Larger belt take 4 minutes to transfer the aluminium from delivery truck to storage area.

⇒ Time taken by Larger belt = 4 min/ shifting

Also,

Smaller belt take 6 minutes to transfer the aluminium from delivery truck to storage area.

⇒ Time taken by Smaller belt = 6 min/ shifting

Now,

As we know that Time is inversely proportional to time, so

Rate of Larger Belt = \frac{1}{4} shifting/min

Rate of Smaller Belt = \frac{1}{6} shifting/min

Now,

Let us assume that , if both belts used then,

Total time taken = x min/shifting

Then, Rate = \frac{1}{x} shifting/min

Now,

\frac{1}{4}  + \frac{1}{6}  = \frac{1}{x}

⇒\frac{6 + 4}{24} = \frac{1}{x}

⇒\frac{10}{24} = \frac{1}{x}

⇒10x = 24

⇒x = \frac{24}{10} = 2.4 minutes

∴ we get

It takes 2 minutes 4 seconds to move the cans to storage area if both the belts are used.

In the solution of the equation 5 - 3x = 2x + 9, 3x is added to the equation first. Which of the following should be done next?
olganol [36]
<span>In finding the solution for x, the idea is to isolate the variable on one side of the equation
5 - 3x = 2x + 9 |3x is added to the equation first
5 = 5x + 9 | 9 is subtracted from EQ second
-4 = 5x </span>

victus00 [196]
There will be 180 mL of water left.

To convert liters to milliliters, multiply by 1000:
0.4(1000) = 400

Each student will use two 5-mL spoons of water; 2(5) = 10 mL each. 10(22) = 220 total mL

400-220 = 180 mL left
