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.

In the following picture, (QS) ̅ and (PR) ̅ are chords of the circle. Find the length of QS. (Remember to show formulas/equation
Inessa [10]
<h3>Answer: QS is 37 units long</h3>

=========================================

Explanation:

PN = 24 and NR = 14 are pieces of the chord PR. The two pieces multiply to some value. At the same time, the other two pieces QN = 21 and NS = 2x-4 also multiply to that same value. In short, the chord pieces multiply to the same number. This is known as the intersecting chord theorem.

PN*NR = QN*NS

24*14 = 21*(2x-4)

336 = 42x-84

336+84 = 42x-84+84 .... add 84 to both sides

420 = 42x

42x = 420

42x/42 = 420/42 ...... divide both sides by 42

x = 10

We know that x = 10 so we can use it to find the length of NS

NS = 2x-4

NS = 2*10-4

NS = 20-4

NS = 16

Therefore,

QS = QN + NS

QS = 21 + 16

QS = 37

--------

note: as a check,

PN*NR = QN*NS

24*14 = 21*16

336 = 336

we get a true equation, so we have the proper values
