Answer:
Jayce should not use either option. Option 1 is likely to be based so that paperbacks are overrepresented, while Option 2 is likely to be biased so that e-books are overrepresented.
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Given:</em>
<em>Jayce volunteers for the local library. The librarian wants to find out whether the patrons prefer paperback books or e-books. Jayce cannot decide which method to use for polling the patrons.</em>
<em>Option 1: Poll every fifth patron who enters the library on Paperback Lovers Day.</em>
<em>Option 2: Poll every third patron who enters the library on Technology Appreciation Day.</em>
<em />
<em>Since, Option 1: Poll every fifth patron who enters the library on Paperback Lovers Day. It biased because since it paperback lovers day thus, it would be likely that most people like the paperback which make it biased.</em>
<em>Since, Option 2: Poll every third patron who enters the library on Technology Appreciation Day. It biased because since it technology appreciation day thus, it would be likely that most people don't care about these stuff since people coming in are for technology appreciation.</em>
<em />
<em />
<em>Therefore, the answer is:</em>
Jayce should not use either option. Option 1 is likely to be based so that paperbacks are overrepresented, while Option 2 is likely to be biased so that e-books are overrepresented.

The less coefficient in front of x^2, the wider graph
the smallest coefficient is 1/5 , so the widest graph is y=(1/5)x²
Problem 215
Check out the attached image. Line up the letters ABC and CDE so the first set of letters are over the second set of letters. Order is important here. Note how A corresponds to C (second C), B corresponds to D, and (the first) C corresponds to E.
We have this mapping:
A <--> C
B <--> D
C <--> E
This means...
Angle BAC corresponds to Angle DCE (red angles)
Angle ABC corresponds to Angle CDE (blue angles)
Angle BCA corresponds to Angle DEC (green angles)
It also means...
Side BC corresponds to Side DE (red sides)
Side AC corresponds to Side CE (blue sides)
Side AB corresponds to Side CD (green sides)
Check out the attached image which I hope clears up any confusion you may have. Often I think it helps to represent stuff like this in a visual way.

Problem 216
Answer: True
Since triangle ABC is congruent to triangle DEF, this means that side AB is congruent to side ED. These are corresponding sides. Since AB = 6, this means ED = 6 as well.
According to PEMDAS, you would look in the parenthesis first. In the first set of parenthesis we have an exponent. 10x10x10x10 is 10,000. Then we multiply this by 2.5. We now have 25,000. We put this to the side..
Next, we do the same thing on the other side -- 10x10x10 is 1,000 and then you multiply that answer by 1.5 and we have 1,500. Now we can subtract. 25,000 - 1500 = 23,500 :)
For part A, if P is the center of that triangle, then PR and PT have the same length; therefore, triangle RPT is isosceles. For part B, by the definition of an incenter...if P is an incenter, then it is the place where all the angle bisectors meet. Therefore, angles SRP and PRT are congruent, as are angles STP and PTR. Since the vertex angle measures 64, then each of the base angles by the isosceles triangle theorem measure 58. Half of 58 makes the base angles within the smaller triangle measure 29. And if both of those measure 29, by the triangle angle-sum theorem, 180-29-29 = 122 And that's the measure of angle RPT. Eek.
