Answer:

Yes, the sample closely estimates the percentage of students in the school.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Percentage of students in school who own a bike = 80%

Ratio of students who own a bike to students who do not own a bike = 8 : 2

To find:

Whether the sample closely estimates the percentage of students who own a bike ?

Solution:

First of all, let us convert the ratio in percentage form.

Percentage formula is given as follows:

\dfrac{Favorable\ cases}{Total\ Number\ of\ cases}\times 100

Here,the ratio given is 8:2.

Let number of students who ride bike = 8x

Let number of students who do not ride bike = 2x

Total number of students = 10x

So, the percentage of students who ride a bike:

\dfrac{8x}{10x}\times 100 = \bold{80\%}

So, the sample percentage is equal to the percentage of students in school who own a bike.

Therefore, <em>the sample closely estimates the percentage of students who own a bike</em>.

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that the sequence is 90, 86,82,.......

The common difference is  86 - 90 = -4

                                             82 - 86 = -4

Hence the sequence is arithmetic

The function is;

t(n) = 90 + (n - 1)(-4) = 90 + 4 - 4n

t(n) = 94 - 4n

Since it is AP, we have the sequence as;

90, 86, 82, 78, 74, 70, 66, 62......

He will no longer play football after the eighth quiz.

The total points earned is the sum of the first eight terms of the AP

Sn =n/2[2a + (n - 1) d]

Sn = 8/2[2(90) + (8 - 1) (-4)]

Sn = 608 points
