larisa [96]

Hi,

The answer is c. The sample is biased.

This is because the sample is taken on a single state, an Rebecca reports a statistic about the nation. Her data contains information only of her state. If she lives in a very cold state, there is probably more homeowners using electric heat than in a hot state.

Solve for x(need help)
bija089 [108]

Answer:

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

I the given triangle, it appears that M and N are the midpoints of the segments BG and BD respectively. If it so, then let us solve it.

By mid segment theorem:

2MN = GD

2(6x - 51) = 114

12x - 102 = 114

12x = 114 + 102

12x = 216

x = 216/12

x = 18

You randomly pick two numbers from 1 to 9 (including 1 and 9). A number that is chosen once could be chosen again. If at least o
Mnenie [13.5K]
Assume that you only include whole numbers (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) and not 3.5 and such
so if 1 is odd and less than 5 then it is
1 or 3, since 5 isn't included
then the other number, to be less than 5 when added,
must be
1+x<5
3+x<5
solve each
1+x<5
subtract 1
x<4
set of answers are 1,2,3

3+x<5
subtract 3
x<2
set of answer is 1
so the possible numbers are
1,2,3
that is 3 numbesr out of 9 so
probability=(total desired outcomes)/(total possible outcomes) so
disred outcomes=3
total possible=9
3/9=1/3
the probabiltiy is 1/3
