Answer:
We can get 27 pieces of wire 3.6 cm long and have a piece 7/9 cm left over
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the "unit length" by dividing 1 m by 3.6 cm:
1 m
-----------
3.6 cm
Recall that 1 m = 100 cm. Multiply the following by the conversion factor 100 cm / 1 m:
1 m 100 cm
----------- * ----------------- = 27,7777777...
3.6 cm 1 m
We can get 27 pieces of wire 3.6 cm long and have a piece 7/9 cm left over (verify this by dividing 7 by 9 on a calculator).
The estimated lengths are 12in. and 5 in. This would be an estimated difference of 7in.
The estimated difference is going to be higher than the actual difference because in rounding 11.7 to 12, you are losing .30in, but in rounding down 5.25 to 5, you are actually gaining .75in.
The ACTUAL difference is 6.45in
Answer: the answer is A
Step-by-step explanation: because the original question does not state that the swimmer “randomly selected” the members. It only says the swimmer “selects” 10 members. Therefore, it is A (The sample is not random)
