Answers:

  • a) <u>Yes</u>, it is a statistical question
  • b) <u>No</u>, it is not a statistical question

====================================================

Explanations:

  • a) We have a statistical question here because the population is the set of children's literature readers. We then gather a sample of readers (some subset of the population) and ask what their most favorite genre is of the children's literature category. As expected, we're dealing with a categorical variable and it's also qualitative. Each choice "biography", "science fiction", "fantasy", and "mystery" are categories, names or labels. There is no inherent order to any of these, other than alphabetical order, so we consider this a nominal variable.
  • b) J.K. Rowling is best known for writing the Harry Potter series, which belongs in the fantasy section. There is no randomness to this answer and it's a single answer that does not change. You could have some people say that perhaps the genre is action/adventure, though I think "fantasy" is the better fit. We don't have a statistical question because we don't need to gather a sample and conduct a survey to answer this. Part (a) can vary randomly, which is one way to help see that part (a) is a statistical question; however, part (b) is fixed and constant.

James and Michael are the partners in a local business. They needed $480,000 to start the
larisa [96]

Answer:

James invested $160,000

Step-by-step explanation:

- In total, they needed $480,000 to start the business

- 1:2 ratio means one of them payed double the amount than the other

so the expression would be,

2x + x = 480,000

Let x represent how much they each need to invest

the expression can be simplified to,

3x = 480,000

now you need to get x alone, this would be done be dividing both sides by 3

\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{480,000}{3}\\x = 160,000

James invest $160,000

Michael invest $160,000 x 2 = $320,000

and if you add them together, you get the total amount

$320,000 + $160,000 = $480,000

Answer:

The polygon has 9 sides

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A regular polygon has equal length sides and equal interior angles

step 1

Find the measure of the interior angle

Remember that

The interior angle plus the exterior angle must be equal to 180 degrees (form a linear pair)

Let

x ----> the measure of each interior angle in the regular polygon

so

x+40^o=180^o

solve for x

x=180^o-40^o=140^o

step 2

Find the number of sides of the regular polygon

we know that

The measure of each interior angle in a regular polygon is given by the formula

x=\frac{(n-2)180^o}{n}

where

n is the number of sides of the polygon

substitute the given values

140^o=\frac{(n-2)180^o}{n}

solve for n

140n=180n-360\\180n-140n=360\\40n=360\\n=9\ sides

therefore

The polygon has 9 sides

Tela A: Compro $/720 de mercancía y le realizaron el 12% de descuento. ¿Cuanto dinero pagó María por la tela A?
Margaret [11]

Answer:

the amount that need to be paid by her is $633.60

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the amount that need to be paid by her is shown below:

= Purchase value of merchandise - purchase value fo merchandise × discount rate

= $720 - $720 × 12%

= $720 - $86.4

= $633.60

hence, the amount that need to be paid by her is $633.60
