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>.

The triathletes were offered water as they rode by the volunteer station. The volunteers handed them cones with the dimensions s
sladkih [1.3K]

Considering the volume of the cone, it is found that each triathlete sloshed out 9.5 cm³ of water.

<h3>What is the volume of a cone?</h3>


The volume of a cone of <u>radius r and height h</u> is given by:

V = 1/3 x r² x h

In this problem, the radius and the height are given as follows:

r = 3.5 cm, h = 7 cm.

Hence the total volume is:

V = 1/3 x 3.5² x 7 = 28.6 cm³

The triathletes sloshed out 1/3 of that, hence:

1/3 x 28.6 = 9.5 cm³.

PLEASE HELP ME!!! I have no idea what to do-
Stells [14]

Your answer would be the last option, D.

This is because spinning the spinner does not affect which marble you pick, as these are mutually exclusive events. This means that if the spinner lands on red, you could choose a black or white marble, and if the spinner lands on green you could also choose a black or white marble.

The only sample space that represents this is D because it's the only one that includes both black and white options after spinning red and green.

I hope this helps!
