Answer:

The true statement about Kendra's sample is:

b) Kendra's samples are precise but not accurate.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Average age of dogs currently alive = 4.8 years

Average ages of dogs in Kendra's sample

Week   Average Age (in years)

1                    3.7

2                   3.8

3                   4.2

4                   4.1

5                  3.9

6                  3.9

7                  4.0

Total         27.6

Mean = 3.9 (27.6/7)

b) Accuracy refers to how close Kendra's sample mean age of dogs is to the average age value as stated in the Modern Dog Magazine.  While the Magazine stated an average age of 4.8 years, Kendra's sample produced a mean of 3.9 years.  On the other hand, precision refers to how close Kendra's sample measurements are to each other.  With a mean of 3.9 years, the sample measurements are very close to each other.  Therefore, we can conclude that "Kendra's samples are precise but not accurate."

OKay, i need help asap pls. The ratio__ is equivalent to 12/36. The ratio__is not equivalent to 12/36.
EleoNora [17]

The ratio of 1:3 is equivalent to 12/36. The ratio 3 / 4 is not equivalent to 12/36.

Given that,
The ratio__ is equivalent to 12/36. The ratio__is not equivalent to 12/36.
Blank statement to be filled from the options.

<h3>What is the Ratio?</h3>

The ratio can be defined as the comparison of the fraction of one quantity towards others. e.g.- water in milk.

Here,
12 / 36 = 1 / 3
and
12 / 36 ≠ 3 / 4

Thus,  the ratio of 1:3 is equivalent to 12/36. The ratio 3 / 4 is not equivalent to 12/36.

We have two ratios here 1:3 and 3:4
