A researcher posts a radio advertisement offering $35 in exchange for participation in a short study. The researcher accepts the first eight people who respond to the advertisement. Which of the following statements is true about the sample? It is a valid sample because the first eight people were selected to participate. It is not a valid sample because it is not a random sample of the population. It is a valid sample because money was offered to participants. It is not a valid sample because it is only a short study.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Choice B

It is not a valid sample because it is not a random sample of the population.

Explanation:

The researcher should have randomly selected the participants, either by picking names out of a hat, using a random number table, or some kind of computer software to pick the names. Letting the first 8 people form the sample is very likely not representative of the population at large. We have a lot of bias here. Therefore, this is not a valid sample.

Answer:

∠ FLW = 112°

Step-by-step explanation:

the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.

∠ FLW is an exterior angle of the triangle , then

∠ FLW = x + 32 , that is

2x - 48 = x + 32 ( subtract x from both sides )

x - 48 = 32 ( add 32 to both sides )

x = 80

Then

∠ FLW = 2x - 48 = 2(80) - 48 = 160 - 48 = 112°

In general, 60 beats per minute (bpm) is a heart rate that is considered too slow for an adult when at rest and 100 bpm is considered too high. As one way of measuring the stress of Canadian air traffic controllers, heart rates of 173 randomly selected air traffic controllers were measured across Canada. Of this sample of air traffic controllers, 47 had a resting heart rate over 100 bpm. What is the true proportion of air traffic controllers in Canada with resting heart rates over 100 bpm

Answers

The true proportion of air traffic controllers in Canada with resting heart rates over 100 bpm is; 0.2717 or 27.17%

How to calculate true proportion?

We are given;

Sample size; n = 173

Number of people who had  a resting heart rate over 100 bpm = 47

Now, formula for true proportion is;

p' = x/n

where;

x represents the number of successes

n represents the sample size.

p′ is the sample proportion which is the point estimate for the true population proportion.

Thus;

p' = 47/173

p' = 0.2717

a tub shaped like a cylinder with a diameter of 18 inches, And a height of 20 inches Is filled to the top with water. Six spherical balls each with a diameter of 8 inches Are placed in the tub and they sink. some water overflows the tub, this amount equals a combined volume of the spheres. Find the exact and the approximate of water that remains in the tub.

Answers

The approximate amount of water that remains in the tub after the 6 spherical balls are placed in the tub are 3479.12 in³.

What is the approximate amount of water that remains in the tub?

The first step is to determine the volume of the cylinder.

Volume of the tub = πr²h

Where:

r = radius = diameter / 2 = 18/2 = 9 inches h = height π = 3.14

3.14 x 9² x 20 = 5086.8 in³

The second step is to determine the volume of the 6 balls.

Volume of a sphere= 4/3πr³

r = diameter / 2 = 8/2 = 4 inches

6 x (3.14 x 4/3 x 4³) = 1607.68 in³

Volume that remains in the tub = 5086.8 in³  -  1607.68 in³ = 3479.12 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a regular pyramid comprises the area of the base (regular polygon) and the area of each of the slanted sides (triangles).

Apothem:  The line segment from the center of the regular polygon to the midpoint of one of its sides.

Area of the base

The base of the prism is a regular polygon with 6 sides (hexagon).

[tex]\textsf{Area of a regular polygon}=\sf \dfrac{1}{2}nsa[/tex]

where:

n = number of sidess = side lengtha = apothem

Given:

n = 6s = 12 ma = 6√3

Substitute the given values into the formula:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\implies \textsf{Base area}& =\sf \dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 6 \cdot 12 \cdot 6\sqrt{3}\\ & = \sf 216\sqrt{3}\:m^2\end{aligned}[/tex]

Area of one side

The sides of the regular pyramid are congruent triangles.

[tex]\textsf{Area of a triangle} = \sf \dfrac{1}{2} \times base \times height[/tex]

Given:

base = 12 mheight = 11 m

Substitute the given values into the formula:

Answers

The required steps are explained below to convert the quadratic function into a perfect square.

What is the parabola?

It's the locus of a moving point that keeps the same distance between a stationary point and a specified line. The focus is a non-movable point, while the directrix is a non-movable line.

Let the quadratic function be y = ax² + bx + c.

The first step is to take common the coefficient of x². We have

[tex]\rm y = a \left (x^2 + \dfrac{b}{a}x \right) + c[/tex]

Add and subtract the half of the square the coefficient of x,

[tex]\rm y = a \left (x^2 + \dfrac{b}{a}x + \dfrac{b^2}{4a^2} \right) - a \times \dfrac{b^2}{4a^2} + c[/tex]

Then we have

[tex]\rm y = a \left (x + \dfrac{b}{a} \right)^2 - \dfrac{b^2}{4a} + c[/tex]

These are the required step to get the perfect square of the quadratic function.

A marathon swim follows a triangular course marked with three buoys, A, B, and C. The distance from buoy A to B is 400 meters, B to C is 500 meters, and C to A is 600 meters. What is the smallest angle the swimmers must turn between the buoys

Answers

By applying the law of cosine, the smallest angle which the swimmers must turn between the buoys is 41.4°.

How to determine the smallest angle?

In order to determine the smallest angle which the swimmers must turn between the buoys, we would apply the law of cosine.

Given the following data:

Side AB = c = 400 meters.Side BC = a = 500 meters.Side CA = b = 600 meters.

Form the law of cosine, we have:

[tex]CosC =\frac{a^2 + b^2 - c^2}{2ab} \\\\CosC =\frac{500^2 + 600^2 - 400^2}{2 \times 500 \times 600}\\\\CosC =\frac{450000}{600000}\\\\C = cos^{-1} 0.75\\\\[/tex]

C = 41.4°.

For angle B, we have:

[tex]CosB =\frac{a^2 + c^2 - b^2}{2ac} \\\\CosB =\frac{500^2 + 400^2 - 600^2}{2 \times 500 \times 400}\\\\CosB =\frac{1}{8}\\\\B = cos^{-1} 0.125\\\\[/tex]

B = 82.8°.

For angle A, we have:

[tex]CosA =\frac{b^2 + c^2 - a^2}{2bc} \\\\CosA =\frac{600^2 + 400^2 - 500^2}{2 \times 600 \times 400}\\\\CosA =\frac{9}{16}\\\\A = cos^{-1} 0.5625\\\\[/tex]

Additional comment

A solution is extraneous when it does not satisfy the original equation. Here, solutions are extraneous because they make the argument of the log function be negative in the original equation. The log function is not defined for negative arguments. (Actually, it gives complex values for negative arguments.)

We could have gone to the trouble to determine the applicable domain of each of the log equations. It is easier to (a) use a graphing calculator, or (b) test the solutions found.

the original price for a set of golf clubs is $500 at the beginning of the seasons the price was marked up by 20% at the end of the seasons the price at the beginning of the season is marked down by 20% how does the final price compare with the original price of $500​

Answers

Answer: The final price is less than the original

Step-by-step explanation:

    Let us break this down a bit.

The original price is $500

-> At the beginning, the price was marked up by 20%

-> At the end, the price at the beginning of the season is marked down by 20%

    We are solving for: "How does the final price compare with the original price of $500​"

        First, we will find the price at the beginning.

-> Please note a percent divided by 100 becomes a decimal

20% / 100 = 0.2

$500 * 0.2 = $100

$500 + $100 = $600

     Now, we will find the price at the end.

$600 * 0.2 = $120

$600 - $120 = $480

     The final price is less than the original price of $500.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

price marked up by 20%= 500+ [tex]\frac{20}{100}[/tex]×500

                                        =$600

price marked down by 20%= 600- [tex]\frac{20}{100}[/tex]×600

Find the values of the numbers m and n that will make (2x + m)2 = 4x2 + nx + 9 true, given
that both m and n are positive numbers.

Answers

The values of the numbers m and n that makes the given expression true are 3 and 12 respectively

Solving an equation

From the question, we are to determine the values of the numbers m and n that will make the given expression true

The given expression is

(2x + m)² = 4x² + nx + 9

Opening the bracket on the left hand side,

(2x + m)²

(2x + m)(2x + m)

4x² + 2mx + 2mx + m²

4x² + 4mx + m²

∴ 4x² + 4mx + m² = 4x² + nx + 9

By comparing,

4mx = nx;

Then, 4m = n

and

m² = 9

∴ m = ±√9

m = ±3

Since we are given that both m and n are positive numbers,

∴ m = 3

Substitute the value of m into the equation, 4m = n

4×3 = n

∴ n = 12

Hence, the values of the numbers m and n that makes the given expression true are 3 and 12 respectively
