Answer:

Option D. statistical inference

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following situation in the question:

"A statistics professor asked students in a class their ages. On the basis of this information, the professor states that the average age of all the students in the university is 21 years."

This is a n example of statistical Inference.

Statistical inference is the procedure of making inference or estimating parameters of a population with the help of test statistics.

In the given situation the university students are the population and the students of a particular class are sample.

The professor with the help of sample statistic (mean age of students in class) approximated the mean age of students in the university.

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

C / 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of students in the baking club = 10

Each student made 2 chocolate cakes

Total cakes = number of students × number of cakes per student

= 10 × 2

= 20

Total cups of flour used by 10 students = C cups

Amount of flour for one cake = Total cups of flour / Total cakes

= C / 20

The expression that represents the amount of flour for one cake = C / 20

Find the area of a rectangle that has the length of 2x-3 and the width of x .Someone painted an interior area of the rectangle a

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

The area that was not painted is $(2x^{2}-6x+6)\ units^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the area of the rectangle

we know that

The area of a rectangle is equal to

$A=LW$

In this problem we have

$L=2x-3$

$W=x$

substitute

$A=(2x-3)x\\A=(2x^{2}-3x)\ units^{2}$

step 2

Find the area that was painted

$A=(3)(x-2)\\A=(3x-6)\ units^{2}$

step 3

Find the area that was not painted

Subtract the area that was painted from the total area of rectangle

so

$A=(2x^{2}-3x)-(3x-6)=(2x^{2}-6x+6)\ units^{2}$
