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>.

Which equation could represent p? Please please help
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

<h2>P(x) = (x+3)(x-2)^2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the brackets you can see where the curve will intersect the x-axis.

The graph shows the curve intersecting at (0,-3) and (0,2).

This means:

x = -3

AND

x = 2

Rearrange the equations, equating them to 0.

x + 3 = 0

x - 2 = 0

This will be the values in the brackets.

Because the curve only touches 0,2 and DOES NOT cross it, we know that x - 2 is a repeated root, hence (x-2) is squared.

Therefore your brackets are: (x+3)(x-2)(x-2)

Which can be simplified:

(x+3)(x-2)^2

Where ^2 means squared.
