18. LOGIC A person surveys residents of a town to determine whether a skateboarding ban should be overturned.
a. Describe how the person could conduct the survey so that the sample is biased toward overturning the ban.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

go to a skatepark

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Thus, conducting the survey so that the sample is biased toward overturning the ban is to increase the number of people not favoring the skateboarding ban in comparison to people who are favoring the ban.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A survey regarding the decision on banning skateboarding

To find:

how the poll may be conducted in such a way that the sample is skewed in favor of reversing the prohibition

Explanation:

A reasonable sample is
● selected at random,
● representative of the population, and
● large enough to provide accurate data.

While taking the sample, the number of people who are not favoring the ban on skateboarding should be increased in comparison to the number of people who are in favor of the ban. Doing so will result in a biased sample indicating that majoring of people do not want to ban skateboarding as the sample is projecting a majority who are against the ban instead of favor the ban.

There are 26 students in William's math class. The mean height of the students is 160 cm, and the median height is 156 cm. The interquartile range of the heights is 18 cm, and the mean absolute deviation of the heights is 4.6 cm.

Part A: Suppose the students in William's math class are listed in order from shortest to tallest. What is the difference between the height of the seventh student in the list and the height of the twentieth student in the list?

Part B: Suppose a new student joins William's math class, and his height is 160 cm. What is the mean height of students in the class with the additional student?

Please answer both parts for 50 points. :))

Answers

Answer:

To answer this question you will use the median height of 156 centimeters and the fact that there are 26 kids in the class to know that the median is not in the data set, therefore it breaks the data into two equal halves with 13 in each half.There would be 13 less or equal to the median height.

Step-by-step explanation:

There would be 13 less or equal to the median height.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(4l = 4000ml)

100ml = $5.75

4000ml = x

cross multiply

100x = (5.75 ×4000)

100x/100 = 23000/100

x = $230

answer: he payed $230.00

covert the 4 L into mL: 4,000 mL
divide 4,000 mL by 100 mL: 40 mL
multiply 40 mL by $5.75: $230.00

8.33 Suppose Paul receives a 6% raise every year. After four such raises, what is the total percentage increase to the nearest whole percent?

Answers

Answer:

Given:

Suppose Paul receives a 6% raise every year.

To find:

After four such raises, the total percentage increase to the nearest whole percent.

The formula used to calculate percentage is: (value/total value)*100%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 of 1

Assume his salary is originally  100 dollars.

Then, in the next year, he would have 106 dollars, and in the next, he would have 112.36 dollars.

The next year he would have 119.1016 dollars and in the final year, he would have 126.247.

As the total increase is,

((126.247 -100)/100) *100

= 26.247%

the answer is 26%.

6% yaaaaaaaaaaaa hidiwgeudheguquevdhd

8.3.5 Ana's monthly salary was $2000 in May. In June, she received a 20% raise. In July, she received a 20% pay cut. After the two changes in June and July, what was Ana's monthly salary?

Answers

Answer:

After July, Ana's monthly salary was $1920

Step-by-step explanation:

In May, Ana's monthly salary was $2000. During the next month, the salary increased by 20%, or (0.2)(2000)

[tex]2000+(0.2)(2000)=2000+400=2400[/tex]

So, in June, Ana's monthly salary was $2400. During the next month, the salary decreased by 20%, or (0.2)(2000)

[tex]2400-(0.2)(2400)=2400-480=1920[/tex]

Therefore, after the two changes, Ana's monthly salary was $1920

Answer:

Now Ana's monthly salary is 1920$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Ana's salary in may =2000$

in June she received 20% raise

in July she received 20% pay cut.

To find Ana's monthly salary after the two changes in June and July.

we have to first find Ana's salary at the end of June month with 20% raise. and then her salary after the end of July month with the pay cut of 20%.

Step 1 of 2

Ana's salary after June month when she got 20% raise in his salary after May is equal to

[tex]=2000+(20 \% \cdot 2000)$\\ $=2000+\left(\frac{20}{100} \cdot 2000\right)$\\ $=2400 \$$[/tex]

her new salary after May will be 2400$.

Step 2 of 2

now she got a pay cut of 20% on his new salary from July month

so, her salary after that would be equal to

[tex]=2400-(20 \% \cdot 2400)$\\ $=2400-\left(\frac{20}{100} \cdot 2400\right)$\\ $=2400-480$\\ $=1920 \$$[/tex]

8.36 Polly the Penguin invested $250 in the Antarctic stock market. During the first year her investment suffered a 15% loss, but during the second year the remaining investment showed a 20% gain. Over the two-year period, what was the percent loss or gain in Polly's investment?

Answers

Answer:

The percentage gain in Polly's investment over the two year period will be 2%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- Polly the Penguin invested $250 in the Antarctic stock market.

- During the first year her investment suffered a 15% loss, but during the second year the remaining investment showed a 20% gain. Over the two-year period.

To Find:

- The percent loss or gain in Polly's investment.

The formula used to calculate percentage is: (value/totalvalue) x100%

- First, we determine the loss suffered by multiplying the loss percentage with the investment amount. Then, we get the amount after the loss is calculated. Then, we calculate the gain by multiplying the gain percentage with the previous amount to get the net amount in the second year.

Step 1 of 2

- The 15% loss in the first year on the investment amount $250 can be calculated as

[tex]$$\begin{aligned}&=250-15 \% \text { of } 250 \\&=250-\frac{15}{100} \times 250 \\&=250-\frac{3}{20} \times 250 \\&=250-\frac{750}{20} \\&=250-37.5 \\&=\$ 212.50\end{aligned}$$[/tex]

Step 2 of 2

- The 20% gain in the second year can be calculated as

[tex]$$\begin{aligned}&=212.50+20 \% \text { of } 212.50 \\&=212.50+\frac{20}{100} \times 212.50 \\&=212.50+42.50 \\&=\$ 255\end{aligned}$$[/tex]

- Here, we can observe that the total profits increased by $5 from the initial investment of $250. This means that 1% gain is equal to $2.50. So, 2% gains mean $5.

Answer:

5% gain

For any doll, is the January price higher than, lower than, or the same as the November price for that same doll? Does your answer depend on the doll's original price?

Answers

Answer:

The January price of the doll is same as the November price. It does not depend on the original price.

Step-by-step explanation:

- We are given with a word problem

- We are asked to find whether the January price is higher or lower or equal to the November price.

- We can do this in two steps

Step 1 : Finding the price of doll in December and January

Step 2 : Comparing them.

Step 1 of 2

Let x be the price of any doll in Tom's House.

The percentage increase in December is 25%

That is [tex]$\frac{1}{4} \times x=\frac{x}{4}$[/tex]

Then the price in December is

[tex]x+\frac{x}{4}=\frac{4 x+x}{4}$$\\ \frac{4 x+x}{4}=\frac{5 x}{4}[/tex]

And the percentage decrease in January is 20%

That is [tex]$\frac{20}{100}=\frac{1}{5}$[/tex] of that price in December

[tex]$$\begin{aligned}\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{5 x}{4} &=\frac{5 x}{5 \times 4} \\\frac{5 x}{20} &=\frac{x}{4}\end{aligned}$$[/tex]

Graph the inequality on a number line. (Section 4.1) 10. x > 5

Answers

Answer:

Please see the attached image.

Step-by-step explanation:

If x > 5, it means that the value of x can take on any value that is greater than 5. Therefore, if you draw a number line, you can put a circle on the number 5 and draw an arrow pointing to the right (in the positive direction, representing all the numbers greater than 5). It is important to note that the circle you draw on the number 5 should not be shaded. This is because, according to the problem, while x can be greater than 5, it cannot equal 5. A hollow circle signifies that the value cannot equal the number circled exactly. I hope this answers your question.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the picture, if you make a shape of the angles (including x°, y°, and the undefined angle), it is a circle, therefore it is 360° because a circle is 360°.

First, you add 50° + 40°, which gives you 90°. The undefined angle, which is 50° + 40° vertical angle is also 90° Therefore x° and y° must equal 90°.

Hence, c=30⁰.

angle a = angle c = 30⁰ (corresponding angle).

180⁰-c = b (from figure being straight line)
