Answer:

C. Elizabeth wants to estimate the mean vacation days of coworkers at her company. She collects data by selecting a random group of coworkers within her department.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sampling Bias is case, in which some section of population have higher or lower chance of being selected in sample than others.

'Elizabeth wants to estimate the mean vacation days of coworkers at her company. She collects data by selecting a random group of coworkers within her department'. This case is of Convenience Sampling, where person selects sample only as per his/ her convenience.

Elizabeth has conveniently chosen sample workers from her department, so they have higher chance of being in sample, others have lesser chance. Hence, this is Sampling Bias

A rectangular carpet has a perimeter of 244 inches. The length of the carpet is 90 inches more than the width. Determine the dim

RSB [31]

Answer:

The dimensions of rectangle are:

Width = 16 inches

Length = 106 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of rectangle = 244 inches

Let Width of rectangle = w

Length of rectangle = w+90

We need to find the dimensions (length and width) of the carpet

The formula used will be: $Perimeter=2(length+width)$

Putting values and making equation:

$244=2w+2(w+90)\\Solving:\\244=2w+2w+180\\244=4w+180\\Switching\:sides\\4w+180=244\\Subtracting\:180\:from\:both\:sides\\4w=244-180\\4w=64\\Dividing\:both\:sides\:by\:4\\\frac{4w}{4} =\frac{64}{4}\\w=16$

So, we get w = 16

The width w = 16 inches

Now, finding length = w+ 90 = 16+90 = 106 inches

Therefore the dimensions of rectangle are:

Width = 16 inches

Length = 106 inches

what is the perimeter of the triangle. i do not know how to start this problem. any help will be greatly appreciated :))

xz_007 [3.2K]

Given:

Point F,G,H are midpoints of the sides of the triangle CDE.

$FG=9,GH=7,CD=24$

To find:

The perimeter of the triangle CDE.

Solution:

According to the triangle mid-segment theorem, the length of the mid-segment of a triangle is always half of the base of the triangle.

FG is mid-segment and DE is base. So, by using triangle mid-segment theorem, we get

$\dfrac{1}{2}DE=FG$

$DE=2(FG)$

$DE=2(9)$

$DE=18$

GH is mid-segment and CE is base. So, by using triangle mid-segment theorem, we get

$\dfrac{1}{2}CE=GH$

$CE=2(GH)$

$CE=2(7)$

$CE=14$

Now, the perimeter of the triangle CDE is:

$Perimeter=CD+DE+CE$

$Perimeter=24+18+14$

$Perimeter=56$

Therefore, the perimeter of the triangle CDE is 56 units.

Hester sells televisions. She earns a fixed amount for each television and an additional $ 15 if the buyer gets an extended war

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

$y =mx +bx$

Where y is the total amount earned, m the amount for each extended warranty and b the fixed cost and x the total amount of TVs

For this case the value of x = 16 since we have 16 Tvs with extended warranties and we can do this:

$1200 = 15*16 +16b$

and solving for b we got:

$b= \frac{1200-15*16}{16}= 60$

And then we can conclude that she earns 60 for each TV

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can set a linear model like this:

$y =mx +bx$

Where y is the total amount earned, m the amount for each extended warranty and b the fixed cost and x the total amount of TVs

For this case the value of x = 16 since we have 16 Tvs with extended warranties and we can do this:

$1200 = 15*16 +16b$

and solving for b we got:

$b= \frac{1200-15*16}{16}= 60$

And then we can conclude that she earns 60 for each TV

Please math , help

Furkat [3]

Answer:

As both the mean and standard deviation are in the desired ranges, the tool passes the technical control.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean of the batch:

The mean of the batch is the sum of all values divided by the number of items. So

$M = \frac{199+204+201+197+195+204+200}{7} = 200$

Mean in the desired interval.

Standard deviation:

Square root of the sum of the difference squared between each term and the mean, divided by the number of items. So

$S = \sqrt{\frac{(199-200)^2+(204-200)^2+(201-200)^2+(197-200)^2+(195-200)^2+(204-200)^2+(200-200)^2}{7}} = 1.18$

As both the mean and standard deviation are in the desired ranges, the tool passes the technical control.
