Answer:
Yes, the sample has a bias
Step-by-step explanation:
Bias is the term used in statistics to describe a systematic distortion in the samples obtained for the parameter being estimated. It is evident by obtaining values higher or lower than that of the average population for the parameter being measured. As such the data is a misrepresentation of the population and cannot be trusted to give a good indices of things.
This sample has a bias because the concerned citizen opted to use a <em>convenience sampling</em> instead of using <em>random sampling</em>. In <em>random sampling</em>, every individual has an equal chance of being chosen which is unlike the <em>convenience sampling</em> when only a specific group of individuals can be chosen. In this case, the bias was introduced when the citizen went to stand outside the courthouse with his petition, the citizen should have taken samples across diverse geographical locations and professional institutions. The implication of this sampling is that a significant percentage of the population has been sidelined (considering they would not be in or around the courthouse) from the sampling and the sampling has been restricted to only those who have business around the courthouse. The result is that whatever samples he/she obtains will not be an accurate representation of the parameter being measure from the population.
<u>As such, the sampling technique is biased </u>
I believe the answer is C.
93.53 - 21.41 = 72.12
If you simplify C, its answer becomes equivalent to the answer of the original problem:
(90 - 20) + (3 - 1) + (0.5 - 0.4) + (0.03 - 0.01)
70 + 2 + 0.1 + 0.02
72.12
Answer:
Area of part 1: 3 * 
= 
Area of part 2: 
Area of entire rectangle: 
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a rectangle can be found by using formula : length * width.
The area of part 1 can be simplified to this:
3 * =
Area of part 2:
The area of the entire rectangle can simply be added from part 1 and part 2.
For area 2, remember multiplying the square root of 2 twice nullifies the square root. So it becomes 15 * 2, which is equal to 30.
Answer:
None. She gave half to one person then the other half to another person.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hope this is correct, if not feel free to let me know. I'm sorry in advance if this is wrong.
The area of a regular hexagon is
... A = (3√3)/2×s² . . . . . where s is the side length
Of course, the 6-sided figure will have a side length that is 1/6 of the perimeter.
... s = (48 in)/6 = 8 in
... A = (3√3)/2×(8 in)² = 96√3 in² . . . area of your regular hexagon
