B. every member of the boys' basketball team 

because people who play basketball are generally taller which means they have bigger feet (most of the time) which doesn't accurately represent the average of the male student body.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option: B is the correct answer.

B.   Every member of the boys’ basketball team

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We know that a biased sample is one in which the sample is not random.

There is some partiality or some preference of choosing a member of a sample.

A.) Every tenth boy on the school’s phone list.

As the choosing of the members of a sample is random i.e. each student has an equal probability of getting chosen.

             Hence, the sample is not biased.

C.)  Every boy in a randomly selected ninth-, tenth-, eleventh-, and twelfth-grade gym class.

Again this sample is random.

                     Hence, the option is incorrect.

D.) Every fifth boy who walks through the front doors of the school in the morning.

In this sample every person has an equal probability.

           Hence, the sample is not biased.

B.)  Every member of the boys’ basketball team.

This is a biased sample since the members in the basketball team have a big height and hence their foot size is also big. So, we can't obtain a good result for determining the average shoe size of all the male students in the school.

                  Hence, the sample is biased.

What is the approximate volume of the cone?
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

A. 1206 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a cone and are asked to find the approximate volume of it.

Keep in mind we are using π for 3.14

The forumla of a cone is V = πr²\frac{h}{3}

We know the radius = 12

and the height = 8

Substitute :

V = π12²\frac{8}{3}

Since these are multiplied with each other, we can first start off with multiplying the fraction, including with factoring 12²:

V = \frac{2^4*3^2*8\pi }{3}

Cancel the common factor - 3 :

V = 2^4 * 8 * 3\pi

Multiply 8 and 3π :

V = 2^4 * 24\pi

Solve the exponent :

V = 16 * 24\pi

Multiply :

V = 384\pi

Multiply for the final answer :

1205.76 cm³

which can be rounded up to

A. 1206 cm³
