The sample which is likely to produce the most valid result is Richard's sample because there was no statistical bias. Statistical bias is the systematic favoritism of certain individuals in the study. Just like what Adriana, Henry and Malik did in conducting their surveys, they choose people who are point of interest and also who are near them. In the way Richard conducted his survey, he used a random sampling technique, this is a method of selecting a sample from a population in such a way that every possible individual can be chosen and he doesn't know who these people are.
Step-by-step explanation:
this creates a right-angled triangle.
the right angle (90°) being the angle between flag pole and ground.
the angle ground-wire is 50°.
because we know that the sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180°, we know then that the angle flagpole-wire is
180 - 90 - 50 = 40°
so, we have the situation to know 1 side and all angles.
to get the other sides we use best the law of sine :
a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)
where the sides and related angles are always opposite of each other.
in our case now we have
24/sin(50) = wire/sin(90) = wire/1 = wire = 31.32977494... ft
so, the rounded answer is that the wire must be
31.3 ft long
0.48 ounces
1% of 16 is 0.16
3 x 0.16 = 0.48
