The marketing department of a sports supply store wants to estimate the percentage of adults in the town who belong to a gym.

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.

A department store is holding a drawing to give free shopping sprees to two lucky customers. There are 17 customers who have ent
mixer [17]

Answer: Our required probability is 0.044.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of customers who have entered the drawing = 17

Number of customers live in the town of Gaston = 5

Number of customers live in Pike = 4

Number of customers live in Wells = 8

The first customer will be selected and then second customer will be selected from the remaining .

Probability of getting first customers are Pike residents = \dfrac{4}{17}

Probability of getting second customers are Pike residents = \dfrac{3}{16}

So, the probability that both customers selected are Pike residents are

\dfrac{4}{17}\times \dfrac{3}{16}\\\\=0.044

Hence, our required probability is 0.044.

Stels [109]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram shows that the one triangle can be divided into two equal right triangles.  Because of this, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this problem.  a and b are the two sides of the angles, and c is the hypotenuse.

The given lengths are 5 as the hypotenuse and 3 as one length.  (You have 3 as a given length because the two triangles have a length of 6  on one side.  6/2 = 3)

a² + b² = c²

a² = c² - b²

a² = 5² - 3²

a² = 25² - 9²

a² = 16

a = 4

Sarah uses a recipe to make 2 gallons of juice. Two of the containers she plans to use to store the juice have a capacity of one
Allisa [31]

Answer:

14 pint containers.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to convert gallon to quart.

2 gallons = 8 quarts

There are 2 containers that added up to 1 quart, so let's subtract the one quart from the 2 gallons(8 quarts), leaving behind 7 quarts.

The conversion between quarts and pints are 1qt=2pt, according to the key you provided. Then 7 quarts will equal to 14 pints. And therefore, she will need 14 pint containers.

Patrick is driving form Sydney to Canberra. He travels for 288km trip in 4 hours. What's his average speed?
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

v = 72 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The distance covered by the Patrick, d = 288 km

Time taken, t = 4 hours

We need to find the average speed of Patrick. We know that the average speed of an object is equal to the total distance covered divided by total time taken. Let it is v. So,

v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{288\ km}{4\ h}\\\\v=72\ km/h

So, his average speed is equal to 72 km/h.
