Question:

Two random samples were taken to determine how often people in a community listen to the local radio station each month.

The first sample surveyed 15 people as they exited the bank on Main Street. The first sample found that the mean number of hours they listened to the radio each month was 20.

The second sample surveyed every sixth person as they exited the only local grocery store until 100 people were surveyed. The second sample found that the mean number of hours they listened to the radio each month was 12.

Which statements are true? Check all that apply.

A) The second sample is random.

B) The second sample is likely to be more representative of the population.

C) The first sample is likely to be more representative of the population.

D) The second sample will give a better representation because is it larger.

E) The first sample will give a better representation because it is smaller.

F) Community members are more likely to listen to the radio station an average of 12 hours a month than 20 hours a month.

Answer:

Options A, B, D, and F

Step-by-step explanation:

A) The second sample is random because in the second sample, people were surveyed at random. Every sixth person that exited the grocery store was surveyed and this selection represents an unbiased sampling method of the general population.

B) The second sample is likely to be more representative of the population, this is because, the sampling method was unbiased and it also contains a larger sample size than first sample.

D) The second sample will give a better representation because is it larger. Sample size is an important factor in a research. A large sample size gives a more accurate mean value than a small sample size.

F) Community members are more likely to listen to the radio station an average of 12 hours a month than 20 hours a month. This is because the research with the larger sample size is accepted instead of that of the smaller sample size. Also the second sample is likely to be more representative of the general population.

Options C and E are incorrect.

Thus, we can say that options A, B, D & F are correct.

How to Rewrite 8 + 36 as a product of their GCF and the sum of two factors
siniylev [52]

Answer:

4 (2 + 9)

Step-by-step explanation:

  Given expression:

              8 + 36

The greatest common factor is the highest number that divides a number:

8 and 36 ;

  Factors of 8 : 1,2,4, 8

                  36 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 18, 36

The highest common factor is 4;

  8 + 36  = 4 (2 + 9)

Evaluate each geometric series described<br> 1-4+16-64...., n=6
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

- 819

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum to n terms of a geometric series is

S_{n} = \frac{a(r^n-1)}{r-1}

where a is the first term and r the common ratio

Here a = 1 and r = - 4 ÷ 1 = - 4, thus

S_{6} = \frac{1((-4)^6-1)}{-4-1} = \frac{4096-1}{-5} = \frac{4095}{-5} = - 819

Select True or False for each statement.
mote1985 [20]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

For a real number a, a + 0 = a.  TRUE

For a real number a, a + (-a) = 1.  FALSE

For a real numbers a and b, | a - b | = | b - a |.  TRUE

For real numbers a, b, and c, a + (b ∙ c) = (a + b)(a + c).  FALSE

For rational numbers a and b when b ≠ 0, is always a rational number. TRUE

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

  • <u>For a real number a, a + 0 = a.  </u><u>TRUE</u>

This comes from the identity property for addition that tells us that<em> zero added to any number is the number itself. </em>So the number in this case is a, so it is true that:

a+0=a

  • For a real number a, a + (-a) = 1.  FALSE

This is false, because:

a+(-a)=a-a=0

For any number a there exists a number -a such that a+(-a)=0

  • For a real numbers a and b, | a - b | = | b - a |.  TRUE

This is a property of absolute value. The absolute value means remove the negative for the number, so it is true that:

\mid a-b \mid= \mid b-a \mid

  • For real numbers a, b, and c, a + (b ∙ c) = (a + b)(a + c).  FALSE

This is false. By using distributive property we get that:

(a + b)(a + c)=a^2+ac+ab+bc \\ \\ a^2+ab+ac+bc \neq a+(b.c)

  • For rational numbers a and b when b ≠ 0, is always a rational number. TRUE

A rational number is a number made by two integers and written in the form:

\frac{u}{v} \\ \\ v \neq 0

Given that a \ and \ b are rational, then the result of dividing them is also a rational number.

Convert 5.764764764... to a rational expression in the form of a/b where b=0
Valentin [98]
Say x=5.764---
Then 1000x=5764.764---
Then 1000x-x = 5759
So 999x = 5759
So x=5759/999

I don't see how b can be 0 in this case... what does that mean? You would never divide by 0 and live to tell about it, right?
