The difference in the average age of the sample and the population is probably due to sampling error

<h3>What is sampling error?</h3>

The sampling error in a statistical data is simply an error that arises when a sample that represents the population is not properly selected or analyzed

From the question, we have the following parameters:

$\bar x = 21.2$ -- the sample average

$\mu = 19.4$ -- the population average

Notice that:

$\bar x \ne \mu$

i.e. sample and the population averages are not equal.

This difference is often as a result of sampling error

-7(-2a+6)=2a-6(-a+7)

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

$a=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-7(-2a+6)=2a-6(-a+7)$

$14a-42=2a+6a-42$

$14a-42=8a-42$

$6a-42=-42$

$6a=0$

$a=0$

Write an equation of a line parallel to y=1/2x+3 that passes through (2,5)

tamaranim1 [39]

$y=\frac{1}{2}x+3 \parallel y=mx+b$

Two lines are parallel when their slopes are the same.
$m=\frac{1}{2} \\ y=\frac{1}{2}x+b \\ \\ (2,5) \\ x=2 \\ y=5 \\ \Downarrow \\
5=\frac{1}{2} \times 2 + b \\ 5=1+b \\ b=4 \\ \\ \boxed{y=\frac{1}{2}x+4}

It took Max 3.5 hours to cover a certain route walking at a rate of 2.4 mph. How long would it take Max to cover the same route

andrew11 [14]

It would take 2.8 hours ((3.5 hours x 2.4 Mph)/3Mph) hours for Max to cover the same route walking 3 mph. This problem can be solved by using the velocity equation which is the velocity is equal a change in position divided by a change of time. The amount of time can be found assuming that Max walks in a constant velocity from the starting point until the finish point of 8.4 miles distance (3.5 hours x 2.4 mph)<span>.</span>
