During the 2004 senatorial campaign in a large southwestern state, illegal immigration was a major issue. One of the candidates argued that illegal immigrants made use of educational and social services without having to pay property taxes. The other candidate pointed out that the cost of new homes in their state was 20–30% less than the national average due to the low wages received by the large number of illegal immigrants working on new home construction. A random sample of 5,500 registered voters was asked the question, "Are illegal immigrants generally a benefit or a liability to the state’s economy?" The results were as follows: 3,500 people responded "liability," 1,500 people responded "benefit," and 500 people responded "uncertain."
a. What is the population of interest?
b. What is the population from which the sample was selected?
c. Does the sample adequately represent the population?
d. If a second random sample of 5,000 registered voters was selected, would the results be nearly the same as the results obtained from the initial sample of 5,000 voters? Explain your answer.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a

   The population of interest is the registered voters , this is because  it is the population from which the sample size is selected from.

b

The  population is the registered voters of the  large southwestern state

c

Well this does not adequately represent the population because this sample where selected from only the registered voters of the  large southwestern state  and not the whole country

d

   Yes the result will be nearly the same because

   Both samples are selected from the same population    The size of the  sample selected is sufficiently large to approximate      the population

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The sample size is  n =  5,500

Considering question a

 What is the population of interest

   The population of interest is the registered voters , this is because  it is the population from which the sample size is selected from.

Considering question b

What is the population from which the sample was selected    

  The  population is the registered voters of the  large southwestern state  

Considering question c

    Does the sample adequately represent the population

Well this does not adequately represent the population because this sample where selected from only the registered voters of the  large southwestern state  and not the whole country

Considering question d

   Yes the result will be nearly the same because

   Both samples are selected from the same population    The size of the  sample selected is sufficiently large to approximate      the population

1 ponto
a) 5 (√3 + 6) m²
b) 2√3 + 36 m²
c) 56 m²
d) 2 (√3 + 6) m²

Answers

Answer:

1) c) 150 cm²

2) a) 5 (√3 + 6) m²

Step-by-step explanation:

1) A fórmula para a área lateral do prisma triangular regular é

L.A = Perímetro × Altura

Perímetro = 3 × borda da base

L.A = 3 × 5 cm × 10 cm

L.A = 150cm²

Opção c. 150cm² é a opção correta²

2) Diz-se na pergunta que a área lateral de uma das faces = 10m²

A área lateral de todo o prisma = 3 × 10m²

= 30m²

Onde a borda da base = altura

A área da superfície lateral de uma das faces é: 10m² = Borda da base × Altura da base

Portanto, Altura = √10m

= Borda da base = √10m

A área de superfície total de um prisma triangular é:

2B + Ph

Ph = área de superfície lateral

B = Área de Base

2 (Área da Base) = 2( Borda da Base² × √3/4)

2 (Área da Base) = 2((√10)² × √3 / 4)

2 (Área de Base) = 2(10√3/4)

= 20√3/4

2 (Área da Base) = 5√3 m²

A área de superfície total de um prisma triangular é:

2B + Ph

= 5√3 m² + 30 m²

= 5 (√3 + 6) m²

Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form. Show your work.


I will give y'all 50 points please answer and show your work! Please keep in mind I am not afraid to report someone.

Answers

Answer:

slope is [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] ; slope-intercept form is y = [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] x + [tex]\frac{13}{20}[/tex] ; point-slope form is 4 - 10 = [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] (-2 - 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

first, we find the slope by using our points (8,10) and (-2,4)

to do so, you use the expression [tex]\frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2\\}[/tex] where (8,10) is point 1 and (-2,4) is point 2

this results in [tex]\frac{10-4}{8--2}[/tex]

10-4 is 6 and 8--2 is 10

which results in the slope of [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex]

now that we have the slope, we can solve for the y-intercept using the slope-intercept formula [y = mx +b]

we choose a point [im using (8,10)] and but the values in for x and y in the equation, which gives us 10 = 3/5 (8) + b , and solve for b

to solve for b, we start by dividing both sides by 8, resulting in 5/4 = 3/5 +b

then, subtract 3/5 from 5/4, resulting in 13/20 = b

To check the work, we use slope-intercept formula again [yeyyy]

y = 3/5x + 13/20 ; 4 = 3/5 (-2) + 13/20

i used my calculator to check, it's correct

SO: the slope-intercept form of the equation is y = [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] x + [tex]\frac{13}{20}[/tex]

now we get to do the point-slope formula [yeyyyyyyyyyyy!!!]

point-slope formula is y - y1 = m (x - x1)

the slope [m] is [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex]

and we use any given point [im using (8,10) again, but any point should technically be correct] for y1 and x1

inputting our values, we get y - 10 = 3/5 (x - 8)

now, you use any other point for x and y to check the work

4 - 10 = 3/5 (-2 - 8)

-2 - 8 is -10, and 3/5 times -10 is -6, which is equal to 4 - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Inequality tells us about the relative size of two values.

Mathematics is not always about "equals", sometimes we only know that something is greater or less than.

Example: Alex and Billy have a race, and Billy wins!

What do we know?

We don't know how fast they ran, but we do know that Billy was faster than Alex:

Billy was faster than Alex

We can write that down like this:

b > a

(Where "b" means how fast Billy was, ">" means "greater than", and "a" means how fast Alex was)

Step-by-step explanation:

3.75h is $3.75 multiplied by h, the amount of hamburgers they buy. same goes for 0.5d it’s 50¢ multiplied by d, the amount of drinks they buy. then both those variables added has to equal $25.50 because that’s how much they spent total.
