the president sends out a survey to a random sample of students in the school.what kind of sample is this?

1 answer:

4 0

This is a purposive sample. This is because it's a subset of the larger population that isn't representative - for example, the set of students generally does not include older people.

some friends went to a local movie theater and bought four large buckets of popcorn and six boxes of candy.The total for the sna

WARRIOR [948]

The total of 2 buckets of popcorn and 3 boxes of candy would be $23.25

To answer this question you need to form a set of simultaneous equations and solve them. We can do this by saying that a bucket of popcorn = P, and a box of candy = C. Then we can say:

4P + 6C = 46.50

P + C = 9.75

There are then two possible ways to solve; you can either say that C = 9.75 - P using the second equation and then substitute it into the first, or you can multiply the second equation by either 4 or 6 to cancel out P or C.

I’m going to multiply the second equation by 4:

4P + 4C = 39

Now we can subtract this for, the first equation:

4P + 6C = 46.50

4P + 4C = 39

2C = 7.50

C = 3.75

Now we can substitute this value of C into one of the equations to find P:

P + C = 9.75

P + 3.75 = 9.75

P = 6

And now to answer the question, you just multiply P by 2 and C by 3 and add them together, which gives you $23.25

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)

N Example 3, the points are(0,3500) and (5,1750). Write an equation that represents the distance y (in feet) remaining after x m

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

<h2>The time needed is 10 months.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given points are (0, 3500) and (5, 1750).

First, we use the formula below to find the slope of the line

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }=\frac{1750-3500}{5-0}=\frac{-1750}{5}=-350$

Which means the function is deacrasing with a ratio of 350 feet per month.

Now, we use the slope and one point to find the equation

$y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1} )\\y-1750=-350(x-5)\\y=-350x+1750+1750\\y=-350x+3500$

This linear function shows that the situation started at the y-intecept (0, 3500), which means the month 0 had already 3500 feet. In other words, the total distance is 3500 feet. Now, the x-intercept will tell us the time needed to travel that distance.

$0=-350x+3500\\-3500=-350x\\x=\frac{-3500}{-350}\\ x=10$

Therefore, the time needed is 10 months.

each baseball team has 9 players and each football team has 11 players. 6 schools have both baseball and football teams. Four sc

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

156 players

Step-by-step explanation:

The 9 players for baseball and 11 players for football are added. 9 + 11 = 20.

Once you have 20, you can multiply it by the 6 schools. Which gets you 120 players so far.

After you multiply the 4 schools by the 9 players for baseball. You’ll get 36. Add the 120 players to 36 players and you’ll get 156 players for the 10 schools in total

Cari owns a horse farm and a horse trailer that can transport up to 8,000 pounds of livestock and tack. She travels with 5 horse

const2013 [10]

Answer:

5(1248 lb/horse + t lb) ≤ 8000 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to do this is to find the average weight of the 5 horses:

It is:

6,240 lb

---------------- = 1248 lb/horse

5 horses

and to this, for each horse, we must add t lbs tack.

Thus, 5(1248 lb/horse + t lb) ≤ 8000 lb

would be an appropriate inequality.
