One way of checking the effect of undercoverage, nonresponse, and other sources of error in a sample survey is to compare the sa

mple with known demographic facts about the population. The 2010 census found that 13.9%, or 32,576,000, of the 235,016,000 adults, aged 18 and over, in the United States identified themselves as of Hispanic origin. Is the value 13.9% a parameter or a statistic?
a. 13.9% is a parameter derived from a national Census that sampled 32,576,000 adults
b. 13.9% is a statistic derived from a national Census that sampled 32,576,000 adults
c. 13.9% is a parameter derived from a national Census that includes all individuals in a population
d. 13.9% is a statistic derived from a national Census that includes all individuals in a population.

Answer: Choice C

13.9% is a parameter derived from a national Census that includes all individuals in a population

======================================================

Explanation:

A census is a term in statistics that means that you survey or poll every individual in the population. In this case, the population is the set of people in the United States. As you can probably guess, a census takes a very long time, requiring lots of money and a lot of people to conduct it. The US census takes place every 10 years. The last of which happened in 2020. Despite the long time gap, census workers are always gearing up in the background getting ready for the next census on the horizon (since it's such a massive undertaking).

Because taking a census in statistics requires so much energy, it's often more effective to form a sample and try to see what the characteristics of that sample are like. If the sample is representative enough (ie is unbiased), then the sample statistics should be fairly close to the parameter counterparts. In this situation, we could maybe randomly select 10 states of the 50 total, and then ask everyone in those states what their ethnicity is. In this case, we're using a cluster sampling technique.

PLEASE HELP ME SOLVE THIS, WHOEVER DOES WILL EARN 100 PTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Monica [59]

Step-by-step explanation:

(Assuming that this triangle is isosceles)

If this triangle is isosceles, then x° is going to be equal to its twin angle; 40°.

We can solve for z now.

180 = 40 + 40 + z

180 = 80 + z

Subtract 80 from both sides.

100 = z

z = 100°

Now that we know z = 100 degrees, we can begin to solve the expression (3x -20)

The expression sits on a 180° line and the angle z (100°) shares the line with the expression (3x - 20)°

180 = 100 + (3x - 20)

Subtract 100 from both sides.

80 = 3x - 20

Add 20 to both sides to isolate 3x

100 = 3x

Divide by 3 on both sides.

100/3 = 3x/3

33.33... = x

Lee watches tv 3hours per day. Lee tv consumes 200 watts when on. Electricity cost 12 cents 1 kilowatt-hour how much does Lee's
Alik [6]

Answer: $2.16

Lee watches TV 3 hours per day and TV consumes 200 watts.

Cost of electricity = 12 cents/(1-kilowatt-hour)

200w×3 hours

600 watt-hours

1000 watt-hours=1kwh

1 watt-hours= 1/1000 kwh

600 watt-hours 600/1000=0.6 kwh

0.6×12=7.2cents

1 day=7.2 cents

30 days

7.2×30

216 cents

$2.16

ms rivera went to the store and spent $10.00 on apples. apples are on sale for $2.00 per pound. how many pounds did ms rivera bu
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

She bought 5 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

if she spent 10 dollars and its 2 dollars per pound that means that you have to divide 10 by 2 in order to get how many pounds you can buy for 10 dollars.

If you think about it if you want 2 pounds then you multiply 2 by 2 to get four because its 2 dollars per pound and you need 2 pounds. so since you don't know the number of pounds you fill in the blanks and do 10/2 to get 5.
