Answer:

The proposed way of sampling is a biased way to perform the survey.

Step-by-step explanation:

Convenience sampling is a kind of non-probability sampling method that comprises of the sample being taken from that portion of the population that is near to hand.  In this type of sampling method, all items doesn’t have an equivalent chance of being selected, which doesn’t comprises of random collection of items.

Convenience sampling is where we take in items which are easy to reach.

Convenience sampling consists of selection bias, i.e.e the bias involved in the sample due to inappropriate selection procedures.

For example, randomly selecting 4 people sitting near him to guesstimate the mean age of the class is a convenience sampling example. or gathering information on customer satisfaction by interviewing 6 randomly selected customers from a local store is an illustration of convenience sampling.

In this case, the sample suggested by the students consists of surveying the first 100 people who enter the school, about the public opinion on a school building project.

This is an example of convenience sample.

So, there is a selection bias present in the sample.

Thus, the proposed way of sampling is a biased way to perform the survey.

What is the value of f(−1) when f(x)=2x+2
mart [117]

Answer:

<h2>f( - 1) = 0</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=2x+2

To find f(−1) , substitute the values of x that's - 1 into f(x). That is for every x in f(x) replace it with - 1

That's

f( - 1) = 2( - 1) + 2 \\  =  - 2 + 2

We have the final answer as

f( - 1) = 0

Hope this helps you

A composite solid consists of a cube with edges of length 6cm and a square pyramid with base edges of length 6cm and height of 6
icang [17]

Answer: The volume of the solid is 324 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for determining the volume if a cube is s³

Where s represents the length of each side of the cube.

From the information given, s = 6 cm

Volume = 6³ = 216 cm³

The formula for determining the volume of the square base pyramid is expressed as

Volume = Area × height × 1/3

From the information given,

Length of square base = 6 cm

Height = 6 cm

Area of square base = 6² = 36 cm²

Volume of square base pyramid

= 36 × 6 × 1/3 = 108 cm³

The volume of the solid would be the sum of the volume of the cube and the volume of the square base pyramid. It becomes

216 + 108 = 324 cm³
