A large school district is considering moving up the start date for the school year by two weeks. In order to determine if famil

ies would support this, surveys were mailed out to 1000 parents/guardians in the district. The survey said, "We believe that starting school two weeks earlier will be beneficial to the students in our District. Would you support moving up the start date for the school year by two weeks?" The School Board received 492 responses from the survey, 72% of which supported the proposal. -Describe a potential source of bias in the wording of the question. -Due to the bias described in part (a), is the sample proportion of 72% likely greater than or less than the actual proportion of families who support the proposal? Explain. -What type of sample was taken? -Less than half of those sent the letter returned a response. What type of bias is this?

Answer:

(a) Confirmation bias

(b) Likely less than actual proportion of families who support the proposal

(c) Random sample

(d) Nonresponse bias

Step-by-step explanation:

In confirmation bias, the researcher already has and intends to prove an assumption about the effect the of a treatment before carrying out the survey, such that the survey or research is tries to dictate to the participants in the survey about the desired outcome

In the question, the belief of the researcher is expressed to the participants in a form of brief at the start of the survey which is attempting to influence the responses to the survey, such that the actual result should be less than what was observed.

He cost, in millions of dollars, of building a three-story high school in new york state was estimated to be c(x) = 2.1 + 0.12x
ratelena [41]

Given cost function is

c(x) = 2.1 + 0.12x - 0.0001x^2 (20 ≤ x ≤ 400)

where x is the number of thousands of square feet

total revenue will be $0.2 million dollars per thousand square feet

Revenue is 0.2 millions per thousand square feet. we know x is the number of thousand of square feet

So R(x) = 0.2x

We know Profit = Revenue - Cost

P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

P(x) = 0.2x - (2.1 + 0.12x - 0.0001x^2)

P(x) = 0.2x - 2.1 - 0.12x + 0.0001x^2)

combine like terms

P(x) =-2.1 + 0.08x + 0.0001x^2

Profit function is

P(x) =0.0001x^2 + 0.08x - 2.1

What is the inverse of this function? f(x)=-1/2 square root of x+3, x &gt; -3
yuradex [85]

The inverse function of f(x) = -\frac 12\sqrt{x + 3} isf^{-1}(x) = 4x^2- 3

<h3>How to determine the inverse function?</h3>

The function is given as:

f(x) = -\frac 12\sqrt{x + 3}

Rewrite as;

y = -\frac 12\sqrt{x + 3}

Swap the positions of x and y

x = -\frac 12\sqrt{y + 3}

Multiply through by -2

-2x = \sqrt{y + 3}

Square both sides

4x^2 = y + 3

Subtract 3 from both sides

y = 4x^2 - 3

Express as an inverse function

f^{-1}(x) = 4x^2- 3

Hence, the inverse function of f(x) = -\frac 12\sqrt{x + 3} isf^{-1}(x) = 4x^2- 3
