Answer:

Cluster sampling.

Step-by-step explanation:

Samples may be classified as:

Convenient: Sample drawn from a conveniently available pool.

Random: Basically, put all the options into a hat and drawn some of them.

Systematic: Every kth element is taken. For example, you want to survey something on the street, you interview every 5th person, for example.

Cluster: Divides population into groups, called clusters, and each element in the cluster is surveyed.

Stratified: Also divides the population into groups. However, then only some elements of the group are surveyed.

In this question:

People divided into groups, by households.

Each member of the households(group) is surveyed, so cluster sampling.

Citrus2011 [14]
Neither, they ride the same. 

First, convert 39/32 to a mixed number. Since it equals 1 7/32, and that's how much beth rode, they both rode the same.

The mailing list of an agency that markets scuba-diving trips to the Florida Keys contains 78% males and 22% females. The agency
choli [55]

Answer:

a) 0.98% probability that 17 of the 29 people are men.

b) 3.86% probability that the first woman is reached on the 8th call

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person chosen by the agency, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is a man, or it is a woman. The probability of selecting a man or a women in each trial is independent from other trials. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

(a) What is the probability that 17 of the 29 people are men?

This is P(X = 17) when n = 29, p = 0.78. So

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 17) = C_{29,17}.(0.78)^{17}.(0.22)^{12} = 0.0098

0.98% probability that 17 of the 29 people are men.

(b) What is the probability that the first woman is reached on the 8th call?

On the first 7 trials, all men, each with a 78% probability.

On the 8th trial, a women, with a 22% probability. So

P = (0.78)^{7}*0.22 = 0.0386

3.86% probability that the first woman is reached on the 8th call

The midpoint of K is M(-3, -1). One endpoint is J(-12, -11). What are the coordinates of endpoint K?
Over [174]

Answer: 2 times sqrt(181) (approximately 26.9)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can plot these points on a graph. Then, we’ll use the Distance Formula to calculate the distance between the two points, which is sqrt(181).


Since the problem tells us that one of our coordinates is the midpoint of K, we know that the length of the segment we just calculated is 1/2 of K. We can multiply our answer to get that K is 2 times sqrt(181).

Emilio throws a marshmallow into the air from his balcony. The height of the marshmallow (in feet) is represented by the equatio
irinina [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the marshmallow (in feet) is represented by the equation h=−16t2+8t+48,

where t is the time (in seconds) after he throws the marshmallow.

The equation is a quadratic equation. When the marshmallow hits the ground, its height from the ground will be zero. Therefore

−16t^2+8t+48 = 0

- 2t^2 + t + 6 = 0

Multiplying through by the negative sign. It becomes

2t^2 - t - 6 = 0

2t^2 + 3t - 4t - 6 = 0

t(2t + 3) - 2(2t + 3) = 0

(t - 2)(2t + 3) = 0

t - 2 = 0 or 2t + 3 = 0

t = 2 or t = - 3/2

The time cannot be negative

So it will take 2 seconds to hit the ground
