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.
Answer: a
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply each answer by 10
If two figures or lengths are similar, then the ratios of the corresponding lengths are equal.
Thus, 8/32 =5/x
8x = 160
x = 20 feet
Therefore, the length of the flag pole was 20 feet long
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
It's hard to tell what you mean. I'm going to assume you mean that you want what is left to be 3/7 less.
1400 - 3/7 1400 = 1400 - 600 = 800
Answer:
B (√6)/4
Step-by-step explanation:
The smallest multiplier that will make the denominator of the fraction into a perfect square is 2, so you have ...
_____
Answer choice D is also a correct rationalization of the denominator, but is not simplified as far as it can be. √24 = 2√6, so a factor of 2 can be cancelled from numerator and denominator, giving answer choice B.
