Eating on campus The director of student life at a small college wants to know what percent of students eat regularly in the cafeteria. To find out, the director selects an SRS of 300 students who live in the dorms. Describe how undercoverage might lead to bias in this study. Explain the likely direction of the bias.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Well, in this case all the students selected live in the dorms, so it is actually likely that they eat in the cafeteria regularly.

For example, a student that lives in a house (with family, friends, etc) may have access to eat in his own place or may have larger economic freedom, so maybe they go and eat out. In this group, you may find that the probability for a randomly selected student eats in the cafeteria regularly may be smaller than in the group of the students that live in the dorms.

So the sample will be biassed towards eating regularly in the cafeteria.

The mean of four numbers is 70. When a fifth number is included, the mean of the five numbers is 80. What is the fifth number?

Answers

Answer: 120

=============================================

Explanation:

S = sum of the first four values

S/4 = 70 since we divide the sum by 4 to get the mean of the first four values

S = 280 is the result after multiplying both sides by 4

Let x be the fifth unknown value. Adding it onto S leads to S+x = 280+x. This represents the sum of all five values.

Dividing that sum 280+x over 5 leads to the new mean 80, which leads to...

----------

(280+x)/5 = 80

280+x = 5*80

x+280 = 400

x = 400-280

x = 120

The fifth number is 120

The fifth number is 120

What is an Equation?

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side.

It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides.

Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.

Given data ,

Let the four numbers be = a , b , c , d

Let the fifth number be = e

Now , the mean of 4 numbers is m = 70

So , the equation will be

( a + b + c + d ) / 4 = 70

Multiply by 4 on both sides , we get

a + b + c + d = 280   be equation (1)

Now , the mean of 5 numbers is m = 80

So , the equation will be

( a + b + c + d + e ) / 5 = 80

Multiply by 5 , we get

a + b + c + d + e = 400   be equation (2)

Substitute the value of equation (1) in equation (2) , we get

a + b + c + d + e = 400

280 + e = 400

Subtracting 280 on both sides , we get

e = 400 - 280

e = 120

Therefore , the value of e is 120

Hence , The fifth number is 120

What are the roots of the equation 4x^2 + 16x + 25 = 0 in simplest a + bi form?​

Answers

Answer:-2 + 3i/2, and -2-3i/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the quadratic formula.

We have (-16 +-sqrt(16^2-4*4*25))/8.

Simplifying, we have (-16+-12i)/8.

Thus, the roots are -2 + 3i/2, and -2-3i/2

Answer:

The roots are

[tex]x = - 2 + \frac{3}{2} \: i \: \: \: \: or \: \: \: \: x = - 2 - \frac{3}{2} \: i \\ [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

4x² + 16x + 25 = 0

Using the quadratic formula

That's

[tex]x = \frac{ - b\pm \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac } }{2a} [/tex]

From the question

a = 4 , b = 16 , c = 25

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve

We have

[tex]x = \frac{ - 16\pm \sqrt{ {16}^{2} - 4(4)(25)} }{2(4)} \\ x = \frac{ - 16\pm \sqrt{256 - 400} }{8} \\ x = \frac{ - 16\pm \sqrt{ - 144} }{8} \\ x = \frac{ - 16\pm12 \: i}{8} \\ [/tex]

Separate the real and imaginary parts

That's

[tex]x = \frac{ - 16}{8} \pm \frac{12}{8} \: i \\ x = - 2\pm \frac{3}{2} i[/tex]

We have the final answer as

[tex]x = - 2 + \frac{3}{2} \: i \: \: \: \: or \: \: \: \: x = - 2 - \frac{3}{2} \: i \\ [/tex]

7. The island is rich with hot chili peppers. You can collect 1.6 pecks a day. How many liters could you collect in 1 week?​

Answers

I think this is the answer:)

The required liters of hot chili papers collected in a week is 98.56 liters.

What is a unit of measurement?

Unit of measurement is defined as every entity having its measures in dimensions, weight, and time. Such as for length we have a meter, for liquid we have liters, and so on.


1 peck = 8.8 liters
1.6 peck = 8.8 × 1.6 liters
1.6 pecks = 14.08 liters

So, in 1-week liter that could be collected is given as,
⇒ 14.08 × 7 [1 week = 7 days]
⇒ 98.56 liters

Thus, the required liters of hot chili papers collected in a week is 98.56 liters.

lX – 12.2l= 0.3 gives the minimum and maximum acceptable lengths of the wires in centimeters. What is the minimum acceptable length of a wire?​

Answers

Answer:  11.9 cm

Work Shown:

|x-12.2| = 0.3

x-12.2 = -0.3 or x-12.2 = 0.3

x = -0.3+12.2 or x = 0.3+12.2

x = 11.9 or x = 12.5

The min length is 11.9 cm and the max length is 12.5 cm

Subtracting 12.2 from either x value leads to a positive difference of 0.3 which is the margin of error.

K. 50

Answers

Answer:

25 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the teacher's age be a.

Then:

a^2 - 23a = 50

In standard form, this quadratic is

x^2 - 23a - 50 = 0

Factoring this, we get (x - 25)(x + 2) = 0

So a is either 25 or a is -2.  Only a = 25 is relevant here.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b. This means, we want to isolate y.

18x+3y=-21                   [subtract both sides by 18x]

3y=-18x-21                    [divide both sides by 3]

y=-6x-7

Please answer if you can!
Also it’s NOT 1.5

Answers

Answer:

9 is your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for b. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First, add 9 to both sides:

8b - 9 (+9) = b (+9)

8b = b + 9

Next, subtract b from both sides:

8b (-b) = b (-b) + 9

8b - b = 9

7b = 9

Divide 7 from both sides:

(7b)/7 = (9)/7

b = 9/7

Plug in 9/7  for b in the equation given:

7(b) = 7(9/7) = 9

9 is your answer.
