ahrayia [7]

Answer:

200,000 gallon's of gasoline

Explanation:

So for every three gallons you must have 2 fuel oil and one gasoline.

Thus 600,000/3 = 200,000

200,000 × 2 = 400,000 fuel oil 200,000 × 1 = 200,000 gasoline

Constraint 2: is that at least 150,000 gallons of fuel oil must be produced. 400,000 is greater than 150,000

Answer:

This is a stratified random sample because a separate random sample is selected from each class

Explanation:

Stratified random sampling is an appropriate method when the population consists of mixed characteristics and you would like to ensure that every characteristic is proportionally represented in the sample. In this example, the population is the students from Central High School and the mixed characteristics are the different classes such as Freshman students, Sophomore students, Juniors and Seniors.

After the population is divided into subgroups based on characteristics, from the overall proportion of the population, you calculate how many people should be sampled in each subgroup. Random or systematic sampling can then be used to select a sample from each subgroup.
