Her area of study is too narrow. There are other sources of water in the city that she is not considering. So her sample is too biased leaning toward the Uncle's pond water, and that leaves out every other source. We say that the Uncle's source of water is over-represented while the other sources are completely under-represented.
Let's put it this way: We have a hypothetical city that has 100 acres of pond water either in or surrounding the city limits. If the Uncle's pond only represents 1% of this, then she's ignoring the other 99% of the ponds.
What Lila needs to do to to fix this error is to draw up a map of each major pond and mark those ponds with numbers 001,002,...998,999. In this example, there are 999 ponds. Then she needs to either use a random number table or computer software to help randomly generate values to help select the ponds. Doing so will ensure that she spans a good portion of the city and not stay focused on just the narrow area of her Uncle's backyard.
The reason why she needs to enlarge her area of study is because the results of her Uncle's pond study may lead to the wrong conclusion of the city overall. Let's say his pond is contaminated somehow, and it's only his pond that's the unfortunate one. She would likely see the pond is contaminated and conclude that the whole city's water is ruined as well, which isn't the case. Or we could have nearly the entire city's pond water in trouble, but her Uncle's pond is one of the lucky ponds not to get contaminated. We can see that Lila would likely conclude that no action needs to be taken to clean up the city's water sources, which is also not the case.
If Lila only cared about her Uncle's pond, then that pond (and perhaps immediate close surrounding area) would be her population of study. However, her study is about citywide pond water which is why she needs to extend to other places in the city or in the outer surrounding areas.
Hey there!
To solve for the solutions of your inequality, divide both sides of your inequality by -3 in order to isolate the value of x:
-3x≥36
÷-3 ÷-3
x≤12
**Note: in inequalities, if you ever divide or multiply a number that is negative, you must flip the inequality sign. In this case, because you have divided -3 from both sides, you must flip the inequality sign from ≥ to ≤.
Therefore, your solutions to your inequality would be x≤12.
Hope this helps, and have a nice day! :)
Answer:
108units^2
Step-by-step explanation:
1) area of a trapezoid formula:
((a+b)/2)h
where a=base 1
b= base 2
h=height(24)
so
(8+1)/2=4.5
4.5*24=108
area is 108 units^2
Answer:
(2a - 5) • (3a - 2)
step by step explanation:
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 6 • 10 = 60
Step-2 : Find two factors of 60 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -19 .
-60 + -1 = -61
-30 + -2 = -32
-20 + -3 = -23
-15 + -4 = -19 That's it
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -15 and -4
6a2 - 15a - 4a - 10
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
3a • (2a-5)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
2 • (2a-5)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(3a-2) • (2a-5)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(2a - 5) • (3a - 2)
Answer:
y = 350x
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the equation of the chart, we simply find the slope and then follow the slope-intercept equation.
Points on the chart: (0, 0) and (1.5, 525)
Slope:
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(525-0)/(1.5-0)
m=525/1.5
m = 350
Slope-intercept:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 0 = 350(x - 0)
y - 0 = 350x
y = 350x
