Answer:
Where is the first bag? We cant solve the question without knowing the marbles in the first bag
Answer:
-Convenience Sampling
Step-by-step explanation:
Convenience Sampling is a sampling method that is employed simply because the samples are easy to reach or access. It is a non-probability system of sampling and not a very strong method of sampling. For a serious research such as the one being conducted by the Superintendent, who has ample time to perform the research, this is not a very good sampling method. A Convenience style of research would mean that he can just walk into a cafeteria with students and administer the test to them.
Since he has detailed information of the students, he should choose any of the other mentioned sampling techniques in the options provided to randomly select the subjects. <em>This would help to</em> prevent bias, and enable him to make generalizations with the result of the research.
Answer: -14, -9, -8, -6, 10, 12, 13
Step-by-step explanation: Think of all the numbers money. The negative ones mean that you owe people money so the bigger the negative number is the more you owe people which is the less money you have.

==============================================
Explanations:
- This is discrete because we can't have half a basketball, or any non-whole decimal value to represent the number of basketballs. We can only consider positive whole numbers {1,2,3,4,...}. A discrete set like this has gaps between items. In other words, the midpoint of 2 and 3 (the value 2.5) isn't a valid number of basketballs.
- This is continuous because time values are continuous. We can take any two different markers in time, and find a midpoint between them. For example, the midpoint of 5 minutes and 17 minutes is 11 minutes since (5+17)/2 = 22/2 = 11. Continuous sets like this do not have any gaps between items. We can consider this to be densely packed.
- This is the same as problem 1, so we have another discrete function. You either score a bullseye or you don't. We can't score half a bullseye. The only possible values are {1,2,3,4,...}
- This is similar to problem 2. This function is continuous. Pick any two different positive real numbers to represent the amount of gallons of water. You will always be able to find a midpoint between those values (eg: we can have half a gallon) and such a measurement makes sense.
So in short, always try to ask the question: Can I pick two different values, compute the midpoint, and have that midpoint make sense? If so, then you're dealing with a continuous variable. Otherwise, the data is discrete.
