Answer:
Population is the total number of people that fall into the description of those that the research concerns.
In this case, Population is: Everyone who signed a card saying that they intend to quit smoking.
Sample. This is a subset of the population that the research is based on.
Sample = 1,000 people surveyed.
Parameter and Statistic are both descriptive measures but parameter is for the population and statistic is for the sample.
Parameter = Percentage of total population who have not smoked in 6 months.
Statistic = 21% of sample who have not smoked in 3 months.
In the given question, there are two vital information's give. Firstly 8 ears of corn and 1 cantaloupe cost $2.37. On the other hand 6 ears of corn and 3 cantaloupes cost $3.51.
Let us assume the cost of 1 corn = X
Let us assume the cost of 1 cantaloupe = Y
Then
8X + Y = 2.37
Y = 2.37 - 8X
And
6X + 3Y = 3.51
Now we replace the value of Y we found from the first equation
Then
6X + 3(2.37 - 8X) = 3.51
6X - 24X + 7.11 = 3.51
-18X = 3.51 - 7.11
-18X = -3.6
X = 3.6/18
= 0.20
So $0.20 is the value of 1 corn. Then the value of a cantaloupe
Y = 2.37 - 8X
= 2.37 - (8 * 0.20)
= 2.37 - 1.6
= 0.77
So cost of a cantaloupe is $0.77
I’m not sure but I hope this helps
Well 1 pound should cost $3 so do the math lol
