Answer:

25 ; 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

____________For __ Against __ No Opinion

21-40 years _________20 _______5

41-60 years ___20 ______________20

Over 60 years _55____ 15________ 5

Given that :

40% of 21-40 are against

Then :

40% = 20

To a obtain 100% of 21 - 40

40% = 20

100% = x

Cross multiply

0.4x = 20

x = 20/0.4

x = 50

100% of 21 - 40 = 50 people

For = 50 - (20 + 5)

= 50 - 25

= 25

2.)

Total who have no opinion :

(5 + 20 + 5) = 30

30 = 15%

Total number surveyed will be , x :

30 = 15%

x = 100%

Cross multiply :

0.15x = 30

x = 30/0.15

x = 200

Number of 41 - 60 against an increase, y:

(25 + 20 + 5 + 20 + y + 20 + 55 + 15 + 5) = 200

165 + y = 200

y = 200 - 165

y = 35

Identify whether each question is a statistical question and the reason why or why not.
madam [21]

1. The question about the weight of the football team players is statistical because it requires data collection to answer it and the data is variable.

2. The question about the height of Ben's mother is <u>non-statistical</u> because it does not require data collection to answer and the data is not variable, since it is one data point.

<h3>What is a statistical question?</h3>

A statistical question can be answered by collecting data and for which data will vary.

Questions answered with a single data point are <u>not statistical</u> because there is no data variability to answer them.

A statistical question can be determined by the following criteria:

  • Provides useful data about a group of people.
  • Many people can answer it.
  • There will be many different answers.
  • The data collected explains a situation or reality.

Thus, the question about the weight of the players asks a statistical question, unlike the height of Ben's mother.

A rectangle has a volume of 912 cubic meters. It has a length of 19 meters and a width of 12 meters. Which equation can be used
Nimfa-mama [501]
The answer would be B because LWH=V, so taking the information given, L(19) times W(12) would equal 228 and 228 times the H would give us volume so B
