Answer:

Random sample of 500 residents of Story County

Step-by-step explanation:

SAMPLE can be defined as the process in which some group of people are randomly selected from a large population for the sole aim of carrying out statistical analysis that will represent the whole population at large instead of carryingout the SAMPLE on each person.

Therefore based on the information given the best description of the SAMPLE will be the 500 RESIDENT OF STORY COUNTY reason been that we were told that a random SAMPLE of the 500 residents of Story County were collected which in turn represent 80,000 of the residents of Story County at large.

A rectangular school banner has a length of 36 inches and a width of 52 inches. A sign is made that is similar to the school ban
zalisa [80]

Answer:

<u>4212 : 1573</u> is the ratio.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of rectangular school banner is 36 inches and width is 52 inches.

And, the sign made is similar to banner.

The sign's length is 22 inches.

Now, we have to find the ratio of the area of the banner to the area of the sign.

So, we have dimensions of rectangular school banner:

Length = 36 inches.

Width = 52 inches.

But, we have only length of sign:

Length = 22 inches.

Now, we have to find the width of sign by using cross multiplication method:

Let the width of sign be x.

<em>As, sign is similar to banner.</em>

So, if 36 inches is equivalent to 52 inches.

Then, 22 inches is equivalent to x.

\frac{36}{52} =\frac{22}{x}

<em>By cross multiplying we get:</em>

<em />36x=1144<em />

<em>Dividing both sides by 36 we get:</em>

x=31\frac{7}{9} .

<em>Hence, the width of sign is </em>31\frac{7}{9}<em> inches.</em>

Now, we find the area of banner and the area of sign by putting formula:

Area of banner = length × width.

Area\ of\ banner=36\times 52

Area\ of\ banner=1872\ square\ inches.

Now, area of sign:

Area\ of\ sign=length\times width\\\\Area\ of\ sign=22\times 31\frac{7}{9} \\\\Area\ of\ sign=22\times \frac{286}{9} \\\\Area\ of\ sign=\frac{6292}{9} \ square\ inches.

Now, to get the ratio of the area of the school banner to the area of the sign:

1872:\frac{6292}{9}

=\frac{1872}{\frac{6292}{9} } \\\\=\frac{16848}{6292}

<em>On simplifying we get:</em>

=\frac{4212}{1573}

=4212:1573.

Therefore, the ratio of the area of the school banner to the area of the sign is 4212:1573.

CRITICAL THINKING The total area of the polygon is 176 square feet. What is the value of $x$ ?
Katarina [22]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

this figure involves two triangle and one rectangle

for area of rectangle= Length * Width = 16 * 8 = 128 feet^2

for area of one triangle = 1/2 * base * height = 1/2 * x *8 = 4x

for two triangles = 8x ft^2 total

whole area = two triangles + one rectangle

176 = 8x + 128

8x =48

x = 6

I don’t understand what I’m suppose to do. Can someone please help?
Ksju [112]

From the 64 values in the table on the left, count how many fall within the given ranges under the "classes" column in the table on the right. The "frequency" is the number of values in the data that belong to a given "class".

For example, "< -16.0" means "values below -16.0". Only one number satisfies this: -16.2 (first row, third column). So the frequency for this class is just 1.

Then for the range "-15.9 - 13.0", which probably means "numbers between 15.9 and -13.0, inclusive", the frequency is 0 because every number in the table is larger than the ones in this range.

And so on.
