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>.

What is the constant of proportionality between y/x
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the constant of proportionality between y/x you investigate the trend in values of x with corresponding values of y

For this case, when x =1, y=3.5

                       when x=2, y=7

                       

Taking in case 1, y/x = 3.5/1 = 3.5

In case 2, y/x= 7/2 = 3.5

But you know that the constant of proportionality k is given by;

y=kx------------------------making k subject of formula

y/x=k

Hence in this case, your constant of proportionality is 3.5

What is the solution of -(x + 1) - 5 &gt; 10
Pie
<span> -(x + 1) - 5 > 10
 -x - 1 - 5 > 10
 - x - 6 > 10
Add 6 to the both sides, 
-x - 6 + 6 > 10 + 6
-x > 16
x < -16  [ changed sign 'cause changed -sign ]

In short, Your Answer would be x < -16

Hope this helps!</span>

Theory - Roots of a product
 3.1    A product of several terms equals zero. 

 When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero. 

 We shall now solve each term = 0 separately 

 In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product 

 Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.
Solving a Single Variable Equation:
 3.2      Solve  :    -7n = 0 

 Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) :  7n = 0


Divide both sides of the equation by 7:
                     n = 0
Solving a Single Variable Equation:
 3.3      Solve  :    n-7 = 0 

 Add  7  to both sides of the equation : 
                      n = 7



This is what i got! if i’m wrong i’m so sorry
but i tried. have a amazing day☺️☺️

Is -8-2(3+2n)+7n equivalent to -30-13n. Explain why or why not.
seropon [69]

No, -8 - 2(3 + 2n) + 7n is not equivalent to -30 - 13n

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the operation of the negative and positive numbers

  • (-) + (-) = (-)
  • (-) × (-) = (+)
  • (-) + (+) = the sign of greatest [(-) if the greatest is (-) or (+) if the greatest is (+)]
  • (-) × (+) = (-)
  • (-) - (+) = (-)
  • (+) - (-) = (+)

∵ The expression is -8 - 2(3 + 2n) + 7n

- Simplify it

∵ 2(3 + 2n) = 2(3) + 2(2n) = 6 + 4n

∴ -8 - 2(3 + 2n) + 7n = -8 - (6 + 4n) + 7n

- Multiply the bracket by (-)

∴ -8 - (6 + 4n) + 7n = -8 - 6 - 4n + 7n

- Add the like terms

∴ -8 - (6 + 4n) + 7n = (-8 - 6) - 4n + 7n

∴ -8 - (6 + 4n) + 7n = -14 + 3n

∴ -8 - 2(3 + 2n) + 7n is equivalent to -14 + 3n

∵ -14 + 3n ≠ -30 - 13n

∴ -8 - 2(3 + 2n) + 7n is not equivalent to -30 - 13n

No, -8 - 2(3 + 2n) + 7n is not equivalent to -30 - 13n
