Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

#1, the sample size is not indicative of a proper high school population, unless of all there is a small amount of students in the high school (or even only 30 students in it). On a individual basis, it can vary widely, and so data analysis such as this is not correct. The data size is skewed as well for the college, especially as college campuses typically house more students then usual. To only ask 60 college students also skew the data gotten. Another sample error may be locational error, in which the location of the schools may warrant the need for a driver license, or if it is not needed, as well as the distance of the student's house and/or where needed facilities are to accommodate a student's needs and desires.

If we were to set all these problems aside and focus more on the question, 15 high school students said they could drive, and 15 said they could not, which makes the sample size of 30 high school students in all. 15 say they can drive, therefore:

15/30 = 1/2, or there is a 50% chance of obtaining a student that can drive.

On the other hand, out of 60 college students surveyed, 30 said they can drive, therefore:

30/60 = 1/2, or there is a 50% chance of obtaining a student that can drive.

∴ Micah's prediction is incorrect in obtaining a college student that can drive more easily then obtaining one that can drive in a high school.

However, remember that too small of a data size can lead to a heavy skew, and it will not represent reality as well.

A drawing of a surfboard in a catalog, it shows its length as 8 4/9 inches. Find the actual length of the surfboard if 1/3 inch
Bond [772]

Answer:

9.5 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of drawing = 8 4/9 inches

Scale : 1/3 inch in drawing = 3/8 actual length

Length of drawing / drawing scale

8 4/9 = 76/9 inches

Number of 1/3 inches in total length of drawing :

76/9 ÷ 1/3

76/9 * 3 / 1

(76*3) /(9*1) = 228 /9 = 9 3/9 = 9 1/3

9 1/3 * 3/8 foot

(228 / 9) * (3 /8)

(228/3) * (1/ 8)

228 / 24

= 9.5 feet

Answer quick find the coordinates
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

  (-4, -3), (4, -1), (8, 0), (12, 1)

The x- and corresponding y-values are listed in the table. Put each pair in parentheses, <em>x-value first</em>. (That is an <em>ordered pair</em>.)

  (x, y) = (-4, -3) . . . . from the first table entry

  (x, y) = (4, -1) . . . . from the second table entry

  (x, y) = (8, 0) . . . . from the third table entry

Which of the following fractions is greater than -4/5 but less than -3/4
choli [55]

Answer:

B. -19/25

Step-by-step explanation:

You are looking for an answer that is greater than -4/5 (which is equal to -0.80) but less than -3/4 (which is equal to -0.75). So, you can easily convert the fractions to decimals by dividing.

-33/50 = -0.66, which is greater than -0.75, so it can be eliminated.

-19/25 = -0.76, which fits our parameters, so it is the answer.

-19/20 = -0.95, which is less than -0.80, so it can be eliminated.

-7/10 = -0.70, which is greater than -0.75, so it can be eliminated.
