Concept explainers
(a)
To find: Identify the sample, and suggest a population from which it was selected.
(a)
Answer to Problem 12.1MPS
The sample and population is stated above.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Alicia asked every fourth student which came in the classroom to choose their favorite from the three types of candy.
Calculation:
Calculate the expression
The sample is “every fourth student”.
The population is “every student that came in the classroom”.
Therefore, the sample and population is stated above.
(b)
To find: Classify the type of data collection used.
(b)
Answer to Problem 12.1MPS
The type of data collection is sample survey.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Alicia asked every fourth student which came in the classroom to choose their favorite from the three types of candy.
Calculation:
Calculate the expression
The type of data collection is sample survey as only a fraction of the population is taken.
Therefore, the type of data collection is sample survey.
(c)
To find: Identify the sample as biased or unbiased.
(c)
Answer to Problem 12.1MPS
The sample is biased.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Alicia asked every fourth student which came in the classroom to choose their favorite from the three types of candy.
Calculation:
Calculate the expression
The sample is biased as the whole population is being surveyed.
Therefore, the sample is biased.
(d)
To find: Classify the sample as simple, stratified or systematic.
(d)
Answer to Problem 12.1MPS
The sample is systematic.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Alicia asked every fourth student which came in the classroom to choose their favorite from the three types of candy.
Calculation:
Calculate the expression
Since, every fourth student is being asked so it follows certain systematic order.
Therefore, the sample is systematic.

- Make up two polynomial functions, f(x) and g(x). • f(x) should be of degree 3 or higher. g(x) should be of degree 4 or higher. • Find f(3) in each of the three ways: substitution, remainder theorem (synthetic division), and long division. You should get the same answer three times for f(3). Find g(-2) once using your choice of the three methods.arrow_forwardere are many real-world situations that exhibit exponential and logarithmic nctions. • Describe two real world scenarios, one exponential and one logarithmic. Do not identify yet whether your scenarios are logarithmic or exponential.arrow_forwardstacie is a resident at a medical facility you work at. You are asked to chart the amount of solid food that she consumes.For the noon meal today, she ate 1/2 of a 3 ounce serving of meatloaf, 3/4 of her 3 ounce serving of mashed potatoes, and 1/3 of her 2 ounce serving of green beans.

- I've been struggling with this because of how close the numbers are together!! I would really appreciate if someone could help me❤️arrow_forwardMatrix MЄ R4×4, as specified below, is an orthogonal matrix - thus, it fulfills MTM = I. M (ELES),- m2,1. We know also that all the six unknowns mr,c are non-negative with the exception of Your first task is to find the values of all the six unknowns. Think first, which of the mr,c you should find first. Next, consider a vector v = (-6, 0, 0, 8) T. What's the length of v, i.e., |v|? Using M as transformation matrix, map v onto w by w = Mv provide w with its numeric values. What's the length of w, especially when comparing it to the length of v? Finally, consider another vector p = ( 0, 0, 8, 6) T. What's the angle between v (from above) and p? Using M as transformation matrix, map p onto q by q = Mp - provide q with its numeric values. What's the angle between w and q, especially when comparing it to the angle between v and p?arrow_forward7. (a) (i) Express y=-x²-7x-15 in the form y = −(x+p)²+q. (ii) Hence, sketch the graph of y=-x²-7x-15. (b) (i) Express y = x² - 3x + 4 in the form y = (x − p)²+q. (ii) Hence, sketch the graph of y = x² - 3x + 4. 28 CHAPTER 1arrow_forward
- Part 1 and 2arrow_forwardWhat is the distance between 0,0 and 2,0 aarrow_forwardCompare the interest earned from #1 (where simple interest was used) to #5 (where compound interest was used). The principal, annual interest rate, and time were all the same; the only difference was that for #5, interest was compounded quarterly. Does the difference in interest earned make sense? Select one of the following statements. a. No, because more money should have been earned through simple interest than compound interest. b. Yes, because more money was earned through simple interest. For simple interest you earn interest on interest, not just on the amount of principal. c. No, because more money was earned through simple interest. For simple interest you earn interest on interest, not just on the amount of principal. d. Yes, because more money was earned when compounded quarterly. For compound interest you earn interest on interest, not just on the amount of principal.arrow_forward
