A survey is being conducted to decide on how much time people spend watching sports on television. Tell whether the given sample

is biased or unbiased. Explain your answers. (NOT A MULTIPLE CHOICE)
1. Every fifth person who enters Little Casesars Arena for a Red Wings game

2. Every tenth name in the phone.

Sampling bias occurs when some members of a population are systematically more likely to be selected in a sample than others. From this definition,

For sample 1, Every fifth person who enters Little Casesars Arena for a Red Wings game. This is not biased because no person is more likely to be selected than another

For sample 2, Every tenth name in the phone. This is also not biased

because no person is more likely to be selected than another

The corners of a meadow are shown on a coordinate grid. Ethan wants to fence the meadow. What length of fencing is required?

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

34.6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The lenght of fencing required is the total distance between point A to B, B to C, C to D, and D to A. That is the distance between all 4 corners of the meadow.

The coordinates of the corners of the meadow is shown on a coordinate plane in the attachment. (See attachment below).

Let's use the distance formula to calculate the distance between the 4 corners of the meadow using their coordinates as follows:

Distance between point A(-6, 2) and point B(2, 6):

$AB = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$

Let,

$A(-6, 2)) = (x_1, y_1)$

$B(2, 6) = (x_2, y_2)$

$AB = \sqrt{(2 - (-6))^2 + (6 - 2)^2}$

$AB = \sqrt{(8)^2 + (4)^2}$

$AB = \sqrt{64 + 16} = \sqrt{80}$

$AB = 8.9$ (nearest tenth)

Distance between B(2, 6) and C(7, 1):

$BC = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$

Let,

$B(2, 6) = (x_1, y_1)$

$C(7, 1) = (x_2, y_2)$

$BC = \sqrt{(7 - 2)^2 + (1 - 6)^2}$

$BC = \sqrt{(5)^2 + (-5)^2}$

$BC = \sqrt{25 + 25} = \sqrt{50}$

$BC = 7.1$ (nearest tenth)

Distance between C(7, 1) and D(3, -5):

$CD = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$

Let,

$C(7, 1) = (x_1, y_1)$

$D(3, -5) = (x_2, y_2)$

$CD = \sqrt{(3 - 7)^2 + (-5 - 1)^2}$

$CD = \sqrt{(-4)^2 + (-6)^2}$

$CD = \sqrt{16 + 36} = \sqrt{52}$

$CD = 7.2$ (nearest tenth)

Distance between D(3, -5) and A(-6, 2):

$DA = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$

Let,

$D(3, -5) = (x_1, y_1)$

$A(-6, 2) = (x_2, y_2)$

$DA = \sqrt{(-6 - 3)^2 + (2 - (-5))^2}$

$DA = \sqrt{(-9)^2 + (7)^2}$

$DA = \sqrt{81 + 49} = \sqrt{130}$

$DA = 11.4$ (nearest tenth)

Length of fencing required = 8.9 + 7.1 + 7.2 + 11.4 = 34.6 units

compará y ordena de mayor a menor las siguientes cantidades 23.4 ,15/20 ,32.245,.056,4/10,50/100,8/9,.009,9/1000 y 54.45

nignag [31]

Answer:

El orden de mayor a menor es:

54.45 ; 32.245 ; 23.4 ; 8/9 ; 15/20 ; 50/100 ; 4/10 ; 0.056 ; 9/1000

Step-by-step explanation:

El mayor número será el que tenga el mayor entero, o si tienen el mismo entero será aquel que tenga el primer decimal mayor de izquierda a derecha, o si tienen el mismo se observa el siguiente decimal y así sucesivamente.

Para ordenar y comparar las cantidades es conveniente en primer lugar pasar todos los números a decimales. Para convertir una fracción en un decimal, debes dividir el numerador entre el denominador.

Entonces, en este caso el valor decimal de cada cantidad (o una aproximación) es:

23.4

15/20= 0.75

32.245

0.056

4/10= 0.4

50/100= 0.5

8/9= 0.8888

0.009

9/1000= 0.009

54.45

Entonces <u><em>el orden de mayor a menor es: </em></u>

<u><em> 54.45 ; 32.245 ; 23.4 ; 8/9 = 0.8888 ; 15/20 = 0.75 ; 50/100 = 0.5 ; 4/10 = 0.4 ; 0.056 ; 9/1000 = 0.009</em></u>

Rewrite the function by completing the square. h(x)= x^{2} +3 x -18 left parenthesis, x, right parenthesis, equals, x, squared,

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

h(x) = (x +1.5)^2 -20.25

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume you want to rearrange h(x)= x^2 +3x -18.

Recognize the coefficient of x is 3. Add and subtract the square of half that. (3/2)^2 = 9/4 = 2.25

h(x) = (x^2 +3x +2.25) -18 -2.25

Now, write the expression in parentheses as a square, simplify the constant.

h(x) = (x +1.5)^2 -20.25 . . . . . . . . vertex form
