Properly identifying and assigning the proper variables to each part of the problem before attempting to solve it
Answer:
D.
Step-by-step explanation:
The point must be a critical point but it could be a saddle point. If the point is a saddle point it would not be neither a maximum nor a minimum. So it must be critical but it does not follow directly that it has a local maximum or local minimum.
Therefore D. (a,b) would be a candidate, but is not necessarily a maximum or minimum. It could be a saddle.
Answer:
653
Step-by-step explanation:
A: Suppose Mr. Moore decides to use 20 seventh graders as the sample. Is this sample a random sample? Explain your reasoning.
Ans: No, because he only chose the seventh graders which is invalid since he wants to have to use the mean height which involves the 6th, 7th and 8th graders.
B: Mr. Moore decides to use a random number generator to select 20 students from the school. Suppose that when choosing 20 students using the random generator on the graphing calculator, Mr. Moore’s sample is all eighth graders. Does that mean the sample is not a random sample? Explain your reasoning.
Ans: No, it is still a random sample. Since he is using a random generator, there is a possibility that the random generator would pick all students from the 8th grade. Unlike the first one, the random generator is not biased towards any grade, it is just a coincidence.
