Answer:
(B) A selected group of participants that is representative of a larger population
Step-by-step explanation:
A sample statistic is a piece of information that you get from a fraction of the population. This information is representative of a larger population.
For example, someone wants to conduct a survey about the most popular NFL team in Syracuse, NY, if it is the Buffalo Bills or the New York Giants. This person is not going to ask each person for whom they cheer. They are going to collect data from a fraction of the population and this data will be expanded to include the entire population.
So, the correct answer is:
(B) A selected group of participants that is representative of a larger population
The general form for a line through two points (a,b) and (c,d) is
(c-a)(y-b)=(d-b)(x-a)
This is better than the slope forms because it works in the no slope case, as does the standard form.
If you haven't seen it before, it works because when (x,y)=(a,b) we get (c-a)(b-b)=(d-b)(a-a), both sides zero, and when (x,y)=(c,d) we get (c-a)(d-b)=(d-b)(c-a), clearly equal sides.
Here we have
(0 - -5)(y - 0) = (-9 - 0)(x - - 5)
5y = -9(x+5)
5y = -9x - 45
9x + 5y = -45
Ironically there are two standards for standard form; one with the constant alone on the right and one with the whole thing equal to zero. I like the constant alone.
Answer: 9x + 5y = -45
Check:
We check each point is on the line
(-5,0)
9(-5) + 5(0) = -45, good
(0, -9)
9(0) + 5(-9) = -45, good again
Answer:
12.54 square miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of Parallelogram = Base x Height
In this case, Base = 3.3 mi and Height = 3.8 mi
Hence,
Area = 3.3 x 3.8 = 12.54 square miles
