You construct a sample in which Whites, Blacks, and Latinos are randomly selected from the U.S. adult population. The compositio

n of your final sample is 25% White, 30% Black, and 30% Latino. You've sampled from all over the country, but the actual composition of the population has a much higher proportion of Whites. This is likely an example of a:

Answer:

Stratified random sample error

Step-by-step explanation:

When you use stratified sampling, you divide the total population or universe  into strata (non-overlapping homogeneous groups). Then you draw a simple random sample (SRS) from each stratum (singular of strata).

You must make sure that your strata does not overlap, e.g. Latinos are not a race, but a culture and they come in all colors (whites, native indigenous, blacks, even Asians). That is why sometimes the term non-Hispanic whites is used.

Another reason why the sampling error might have occurred is that not all Caucasians are white, e.g. Arabs, people from northern Africa and most middle eastern Jews are considered Caucasians but their skin is tanned and it can be as dark as the skin of a Native American.

The US census only recognizes 5 races:

  1. Whites (includes Hispanic whites and other Caucasians)
  2. African Americans
  3. American Indian or Alaska Native
  4. Asian
  5. Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander
  6. the sixth category is two or more races

As you can see, there is a lot of room for mistakes when you try to categorize people into races.

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

the answer is 3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the volume formula, V =1/2 bhl to find the height of the tent

the volume is 36^{3}. The base is 4 and the length is 6 feet

​36=1/2 ⋅4⋅h⋅6

36=12h

3=h

The height of <em>the tent is 3 feet.</em>

Plz help with equation of the circle will award fastest CORRECT answer with brainliest
aliina [53]

Answer:

(x-1)^2+(y-2)^2=6.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for a circle is given by:

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2

Where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius.

The center is the red dot, which is (1,2). Thus, h=1 and k=2.

To find the radius, you need to use the distance formula. We are given two coordinates: the center (red dot) at (1,2) and a blue dot on the circle at (2.5,4). Find the radius by using the distance formula:

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

Let (1,2) be <em>x₁ </em>and <em>y₁ </em>and let (2.5,4) be <em>x₂ </em>and <em>y₂. </em>Therefore:

d=\sqrt{(2.5-1)^2+(4-2)^2}\\d=\sqrt{(1.5)^2+2^2}\\d=\sqrt{2.25+4}\\d=\sqrt{6.25}=2.5

Thus, r is 2.5.

Plugging these numbers into the equation, we have:

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2\\(x-1)^2+(y-2)^2=2.5^2\\(x-1)^2+(y-2)^2=6.25

What is the length of cloth needed to make 24 shirts if each shirt is made from .75 yards of material?
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

18 yards of material needed to make 24 shirts

Step-by-step explanation:

The unit rate is

        1 shirt

------------------------------ = 1 1/3 shirts per yard of material = 4/3 shirt/yard

 0.75 yards material

This rate could also be written as 3/4 yard per shirt

Multiply this latter rate by 24 shirts:

 3 yard

-------------- * 24 shirts = 18 yards of material needed to make 24 shirts

 4 shirt
