Biased or Unbiased:
Take 20 packages off the top of the load of packages being shipped by a truck and measure the amount of damage expected to the whole truckload.
Answer: It is a biased way of taking sample. Because the top layer of packages has less weight resting on it and may have less damage. Therefore, the given statement is biased and based on these 20 packages of the top of the load, we can not make a decision about how much damage a truckload contains.
Answer:
0.125
Step-by-step explanation:
1=40000
x-5000
x=5000÷40000=1/8=0.125
Answer:
y = x
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the slope using rise over run (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Plug in the points:
(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(-8 - 0) / (-8 - 0)
-8 / -8
= 1
So, the slope is 1.
Plug in the slope and a point into y = mx + b and solve for b:
y = mx + b
-8 = 1(-8) + b
-8 = -8 + b
0 = b
Plug in the slope and y intercept into y = mx + b
y = mx + b
y = 1x + 0
y = x
So, the equation of the line is y = x
Answer:
y = 50x+25
f(x) = 50x+25
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the slope intercept form of the equation, y = mx+b
where x is the amount per day and b is the flat fee
2 days
125 = 2x+b
5 days
275 = 5x+b
Subtract
275 = 4x+b
125 = 2x+b
---------------------
150 = 3x
Divide by 3
150/3 = 3x/3
50 =x
The cost per day is 50 dollars
y = 50x +b
Using the data for 2 days
125 = 50*2 +b
125 = 100 +b
125-100 = b
b = 25
The equation is y = 50x+25
f(x) = 50x+25
To graph, The x axis is number of days and the y axis is total cost
The number of days starts with 0, which is the y intercept
Let x = 0, y =25
Using the slope, we go 50 up and 1 to the right ( 50 dollars per day)
The next point plotted ins ( 1,50)

Answer: D.) 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Mean diameter: 
Standard deviation: 
The required number of standard deviations is given by :-

Hence, a beach ball with a diameter of 31.9 cm is 3 standard deviations differ from the mean.
