For the population of all college students currently taking a statistics course, you want to estimate the proportion who are wom

en. You obtain a simple random sample of statistics students at Broward College in Florida. Is the resulting sample proportion a good estimator of the population proportion of all college statistics students

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

To estimate population proportion from a sample, we must ensure that the sample data is random. Though a simple random sample of college students from a particular college was used as the sample data. However, selection of the college should have been randomized as well, a stratified random sample would have been a better sampling method whereby certain colleges are selected based on region or other criteria and then a random sample of it's statistics students selected. The sample proportion Obtian from a sample of this nature will be more representative of the population proportion of all college statistic student.

A) part of it is decreasing, part of it is increasing.  

Going left-to-right, the downhill/negative slope is the decreasing portion (x<-1) and the uphill/positive slope is the increasing portion (x>-1).  

B) The x-intercepts are the points where the graph intersects the x-axis: (2,0) and (-4,0).

C: The y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects the y-axis: (0,-2).

D: There is no absolute maximum.  The graph keeps going up forever.

E: The absolute minimum <u>point</u> is at that bottom, at (-1, -3).  The absolute minimum <u>value</u> is -3, since that's the lowest y-value used.

The circumference of the ellipse approximate. Which equation is the result of solving the formula of the circumference for b?
Serhud [2]

Answer:

b = \sqrt{\frac{C^{2} }{2(\pi )^{2} }  -  a^{2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - The circumference of the ellipse approximated by C = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{a^{2} + b^{2} }{2} }where 2a and 2b are the lengths of 2 the axes of the ellipse.

To find - Which equation is the result of solving the formula of the circumference for b ?

Solution -

C = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{a^{2} + b^{2} }{2} }\\\frac{C}{2\pi }  =  \sqrt{\frac{a^{2} + b^{2} }{2} }

Squaring Both sides, we get

[\frac{C}{2\pi }]^{2}   =  [\sqrt{\frac{a^{2} + b^{2} }{2} }]^{2} \\\frac{C^{2} }{(2\pi)^{2}  }   =  {\frac{a^{2} + b^{2} }{2} }\\2\frac{C^{2} }{4(\pi)^{2}  }   =  {{a^{2} + b^{2} }

\frac{C^{2} }{2(\pi )^{2} }  = a^{2} + b^{2} \\\frac{C^{2} }{2(\pi )^{2} }  -  a^{2} = b^{2} \\\sqrt{\frac{C^{2} }{2(\pi )^{2} }  -  a^{2}}  = b

∴ we get

b = \sqrt{\frac{C^{2} }{2(\pi )^{2} }  -  a^{2}}

Find the product.........................
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

B


Step-by-step explanation:


<u>To find the answer, you have to </u><u>multiply each term of the first parenthesis' expression with each term in the next parenthesis' expression.</u><u> Then </u><u>combine like terms</u><u>.</u> So we have:


(6x^2-6x-5)(7x^2+6x-5)\\=(6x^2)(7x^2)+(6x^2)(6x)+(6x^2)(-5)+(-6x)(7x^2)+(-6x)(6x)+(-6x)(-5)+(-5)(7x^2)+(-5)(6x)+(-5)(-5)\\=42x^4+36x^3-30x^2-42x^3-36x^2+30x-35x^2-30x+25\\=42x^4-6x^3-101x^2+25


Answer choice B is right.

Given right triangle ABCABC with altitude \overline{BD} BD drawn to hypotenuse ACAC. If BC=10BC=10 and DC=5,DC=5, what is the le
Helen [10]

Answer: \overline{AC}= 12.5

Step-by-step explanation: The triangle ABC and its altitude \overline{BD} is represented in the figure below.

<u>Altitude</u> is a segment of line that link a vertex and the opposite side, forming a right angle.

So, because of \overline{BD}, now we have two similar triangles, which means that ratios of corresponding sides are equal:

\frac{\overline{BD}}{\overline{BC}} =\frac{\overline{AD}}{\overline{BD}}

\overline{BD}^{2}=\overline{BC}.\overline{AD} (1)

This is always true for a right triangle and a altitude drawn to the hypotenuse.

Triangle BDC is also right triangle. So, we can use Pythagorean theorem to determine the missing side.

\overline{BC}^{2}=\overline{CD}^{2}+\overline{BD}^{2}

\overline{BD}^{2}=\overline{BC}^{2}-\overline{CD}^{2} (2)

Substituting (2) into (1):

\overline{BC}^{2}-\overline{CD}^{2}=\overline{BC}.\overline{AD}

We want to find f, so:

\overline{AD}=\frac{\overline{BC}^{2}-\overline{CD}^{2}}{\overline{BC}}

f=\frac{10^{2}-5^{2}}{10}

f = 7.5

The length of \overline{AC} is

\overline{AC}=f+5

\overline{AC}=7.5+5

\overline{AC}=12.5

The length of the hypotenuse of triangle ABC is 12.5 units.
