Answer:
The best data collection method or sampling method to provide an unbiased sample is the random sampling method.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 5 popular known sampling methods or data collection methods.
1) Random Sampling
In random sampling, each member of the population would have an equal chance of being surveyed. One of the best ways to use random sampling is to give all the members of the population numbers and then use computer to generate random numbers and pick the members of the population with those random numbers.
2) Systematic sampling is easier than random sampling. In systematic sampling, a particular number, n, is counted repeatedly and each of the nth member is picked to be sampled.
3) Convenience Sampling
This is the worst sampling technique. It is also the easiest. In Convenience sampling, the surveyor just picks the first set of members of the population that they find and surveys.
4) Stratified Sampling
Stratified sampling divides the population into groups called strata. A sample is taken from each of these strata using either random, systematic, or convenience sampling.
5) Cluster sampling
Cluster Sampling divides the population into groups which are called clusters or blocks. The clusters are selected randomly, and some members or every element/member in the selected clusters is surveyed.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
68.87, 78.25, 70.44, 84.67, 79.79, 86.33, 100.24, 98.26
we calculate sample mean and standard deviation from given data
Sample Mean
[tex]\bar x = \frac{\sum (x)}{n} =\frac{666.85}{8} \\\\=83.35625[/tex]
Sample Variance
[tex]s^2= \frac{\sum (x- \bar x )^2}{n-1} \\\\=\frac{933.224787}{7} =133.317827[/tex]
sample standard deviation
[tex]s=\sqrt{s^2} \\=\sqrt{133.317827} \\ =11.546334[/tex]
95% CI for [tex]\mu[/tex] using t - dist
Sample mean = 83.35625
Sample standard deviation = 11.546334
Sample size = n = 8
Significance level = α = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05
Degrees of freedom for t - distribution
d-f = n - 1 = 7
Critical value
[tex]t_{\alpha 12, df}= t_{0.025, df=7}=2.365[/tex] ( from t - table , two tails, d.f =7)
Margin of Error
[tex]E = t_{\alpha 12, df}\times \frac{s_x}{\sqrt{n} } \\\\=2.365 \times \frac{11.546334}{\sqrt{8} } \\\\=2.365 \times 4.082246\\\\E=9.654512[/tex]
Limits of 95% Confidence Interval are given by:
Lower limit
[tex]\bar x - E = 83.35625-9.654512\\\\=73.701738\approx 73.702[/tex]
Upper Limit
[tex]= \bar x + E\\=83.35625+ 9.654512\\=93.010762 \approx 93.011[/tex]
95% Confidence interval is
[tex]\bar x \pm E = 83.35625 \pm 9.654512\\\\=(73.701738,93.010762)[/tex]
95% CI using t - dist (73.70 < μ < 93.01)
D. The lower bound is $ and the upper bound is One can be [95]% confident that the mean travel tax for all cities is between these values.
c.What would you recommend to a researcher who wants to increase the precision of the interval, but does not have access to additional data?
A. The researcher could decrease the level of confidence.
The original price of a mountain bike was reduced by $125.
If p= the mountain bike's original price in dollars, which algebraic expression
represents the reduced price?
Answer:
p-125
Step-by-step explanation:
p represents the original price, which was reduced by 125. therefore, the reduced price is represented by the algebraic expression p-125
Answer: p - 125
Step-by-step explanation: Here, notice that the value that we don't know is the mountain bike's original price in dollars.
Since the original price of the mountain bike was reduced by $125,
we take away 125 from our variable, which is p.
So we have p - 125.
Identify the level of measurement of the data, and explain what is wrong with the given calculation. In a survey, the favorite sports of respondents are identified as 100 for basketball comma 200 for baseball comma 300 for football comma and 400 for anything else. The average (mean) is calculated for 597 respondents and the result is 256.1 .The data are at the _________________
level of measurement.
Answer:
The data are at the Nominal level of measurement.
The given calculation is wrong because average (mean) cannot be calculated for nominal level of measurement.
Step-by-step explanation:
The objective here is to Identify the level of measurement of the data, and explain what is wrong with the given calculation.
a)
The data are at the Nominal level of measurement due to the fact that it portrays the qualitative levels of naming and representing different hierarchies from 100 basketball, 200 basketball, 300 football, 400 anything else
b) We are being informed that, the average (mean) is calculated for 597 respondents and the result is 256.1.
The given calculation is wrong because average (mean) cannot be calculated for nominal level of measurement. At nominal level this type of data set do not measure at all , it is not significant to compute their average (mean).

C.) -9/20(3 4/5)
D.) -1/3 (-2/3
hurry answer pls
Answer: Options B and D.
Step-by-step explanation:
We start with the equation:
(-2 3/7)*(-6/11)
now, you need to recall the signs relations:
(+)*(+) = +
(-)*(+) = -
(-)*(-) = +
Then our initial equation has a positive sign.
a) (3/8)*(-6/7) here we have (+)*(-), so this is negative, this option is not correct.
b) (1 2/9)*(2 16/17) here we have (+)*(+), so this is positive, this option is correct.
c) (-9/20)*(3 4/5) here we have (-)*(+), so this is negative, this option is not correct.
d) (-1/3)*(-2/3) here we have (-)*(-), so this is positive, then this option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:
Alex is paid $30/hr at full rate, and $20/hr at a reduced rate. The hours of work are paid at a ratio of 2:1, full rate : reduced rate. For example, if he worked 3 hours, he would be paid 2 hours at full rate and 1 hour at reduced rate. Calculate his pay for 4 hours of work
Answer:
His pay for 4 hours of work is $106.67.
Step-by-step explanation:
2:1, full rate : reduced rate.
This means that for each 2+1 = 3 hours that he works, 2 he has full pay and 1 he has reduced pay.
4 hours
How much are full pay?
For each 3, 2 are full pay. For four?
3 hours - 2 full pay
4 hours - x full pay
[tex]3x = 8[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{8}{3}[/tex]
So for [tex]\frac{8}{3}[/tex] hours he makes the full pay($30) and for [tex]4 - \frac{8}{3} = \frac{12}{3} - \frac{8}{3} = \frac{4}{3}[/tex] he makes reduced pay($20).
Calculate his pay for 4 hours of work
[tex]30*\frac{8}{3} + 20*\frac{4}{3} = 106.67[/tex]
His pay for 4 hours of work is $106.67.
The escape time (sec) for oil workers in a simulated exercise, gave the sample mean 370.69, sample standard deviation 24.36, and number of observations as n =26. Suppose the investigators had believed a priori that true average escape time would be at most 6 minutes. Does the data contradict this prior belief? Assuming normality, test the appropriate hypothesis using a significance level of .05.
Answer:
Null hypothesis:[tex]\mu \leq 6[/tex]
Alternative hypothesis:[tex]\mu > 6[/tex]
The statistic is given by:
[tex]t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex] (1)
Replacing the info we got:
[tex]t=\frac{6.178-6}{\frac{0.68}{\sqrt{26}}}=1.335[/tex]
[tex]p_v =P(t_{25}>1.335)=0.097[/tex]
And for this case the p value is higher than the significance level so then we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is at most 6 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Information given
[tex]\bar X=370.69/60 =6.178[/tex] represent the sample mean
[tex]s=24.36/36=0.68[/tex] represent the standard deviation for the sample
[tex]n=26[/tex] sample size
[tex]\mu_o =6[/tex] represent the value to verify
[tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] represent the significance level
t would represent the statistic
[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value
System of hypothesis
We want to test if the true mean is at least 6 minutes, the system of hypothesis would be:
Null hypothesis:[tex]\mu \leq 6[/tex]
Alternative hypothesis:[tex]\mu > 6[/tex]
The statistic is given by:
[tex]t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex] (1)
Replacing the info we got:
[tex]t=\frac{6.178-6}{\frac{0.68}{\sqrt{26}}}=1.335[/tex]
The degrees of freedom are:
[tex]df=n-1=26-1=25[/tex]
The p value would be given by:
[tex]p_v =P(t_{25}>1.335)=0.097[/tex]
And for this case the p value is higher than the significance level so then we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is at most 6 minutes.

An eight-sided die, which may or may not be a fair die, has four colors on it; you have been tossing the die for an hour and have recorded the color rolled for each toss. What is the probability you will roll a green on your next toss of the die? Express your answer as a simplified fraction or a decimal rounded to four decimal places.
orange brown green yellow
46 23 32 19
Answer:
probability of rolling green on the next toss of the die = 4/15
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given how many times each of the colours appeared for each toss and they are;
Orange - 46
Brown - 23
Green - 32
Yellow - 19
Thus,
Total number of tosses = 46 + 23 + 32 + 19 = 120 rolls
Thus, probability of rolling green on the next toss of die will be = number of times green appeared/total number of rolls = 32/120 = 4/15

A fire hydrant with a blue cap provides water at a rate of 1,500 gallons per minute. A fire hydrant with a green cap provides water at a rate of 1,000 gallons per minute. A fire hydrant with a purple cap provides water at half the rate of a fire hydrant with a green cap. What is the equation in fraction form
Answer:
Fire hydrant with a purple cap (with respect to a fire hydrant with a green cap):
[tex]\dot Q_{purple} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \dot Q_{green}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume rate of the fire hidrant with a purple cap is equal to the product of the proportion factor and the volume rate of the fire hydrant with a concrete cap.
[tex]\dot Q_{i} = k \cdot \dot Q_{j}[/tex]
There are two different solutions:
Fire hydrant with a purple cap (with respect to a fire hydrant with a green cap):
[tex]\dot Q_{purple} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \dot Q_{green}[/tex]
Fire hydrant with a purple cap (with respect to a fire hydrant with a blue cap):
[tex]\dot Q_{purple} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1000\,gpm}{1500\,gpm}\cdot \dot Q_{blue}[/tex]
[tex]\dot Q_{purple} = \frac{1}{3}\cdot \dot Q_{blue}[/tex]

Question:
Here are some scenarios:
According to market research, a business has a 75% chance of making money in the first 3 years.
According to lab testing, 5/6 of a certain kind of experimental light bulb will work after 3 years.
According to experts, the likelihood of a car needing major repairs in the first 3 years is 0.7.
1. Write the scenarios in order of likelihood from least to greatest after three years: the business makes money, the light bulb still works, and the car needs major repairs.
Answer:
The correct order in terms of likelihood from least to greatest would be
P(Car repair) = 0.70 -> P(Business) = 0.75 -> P(Light bulb) = 0.83
Car needs major repairs -> Business makes money -> Light bulb still works
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given probabilities of three different events.
According to market research, a business has a 75% chance of making money in the first 3 years.
P(Business) = 75% = 0.75
According to lab testing, 5/6 of a certain kind of experimental light bulb will work after 3 years.
P(Light bulb) = 5/6 = 0.83
According to experts, the likelihood of a car needing major repairs in the first 3 years is 0.7.
P(Car repair) = 0.70
We are asked to write these scenarios in order of likelihood from least to greatest after three years.
Which means that the events with least probability is less likely to occur.
The least probability is of car repair, then business and then light bulb.
So the correct order in terms of likelihood from least to greatest would be
P(Car repair) = 0.70 -> P(Business) = 0.75 -> P(Light bulb) = 0.83
Car needs major repairs -> Business makes money -> Light bulb still works

Jack has a rectangular patio with a length that is one foot less than twice its width. His neighbor Ron's patio has the same width but a length that is 5 feet more than its width. If Jack's patio is 120 square feet and Ron's patio is 104 square feet, how many square feet longer is Jack's patio than Ron's?
Answer:
difference in area = 16 ft²
if you use 8 the difference in length between Jack patio and his neighbor patio will be will be 15 - 13 = 2 ft
if you use 13 the difference i length will be 25 - 18 = 7 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Jacks rectangular patio
width = a
length = 2a - 1
area = lw
where
l = length
w = width
area = 120 ft²
a(2a - 1)
2a² - a - 120 = 0
(a - 8) (2a + 15)
a = 8 or -15/2
Ron's rectangular patio
width = a
length = a + 5
area = lw
area = 104 ft²
a (a + 5) = 104
a² + 5a -104 = 0
(a + 8) (a - 13)
a = -8 or 13
How many square feet longer is jack patio longer than Ron's patio is the difference in their area. Therefore,
120 - 104 = 16 ft²
The value 8 or 13 can be used for a since the width a have to be the same.
if you use 8 the difference in length between Jack patio and his neighbor patio will be will be 15 - 13 = 2 ft
if you use 13 the difference i length will be 25 - 18 = 7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:
Sampling
This is a common statistics practice, when we want to study something from a population, we find a sample of this population.
For example:
I want to estimate the proportion of New York state residents who are Buffalo Bills fans. So i ask, lets say, 1000 randomly selected New York state residents wheter they are Buffalo Bills fans, and expand this to the entire population of New York State residents.
The population of interest are all residents of New York State.
A simple random sample of 500 students was selected from all the students enrolled in statistics classes.
This means that the population of interest for this student is the students whom are enrolled in statistics classes.

At a gas station, 50% of the customers use regular gas, 30% use mid-grade gas and 20% use premium gas. Of those customers using regular gas, only 30% fill their tanks. Of those customers using mid-grade gas, 60% fill their tanks, whereas of those using premium, 50% fill their tanks. If the next customer fills the tank, what is the probability that he uses premium gas
Answer:
The probability is 0.2326 or 23.26%.
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability that a random customer fills their tank with premium gas is:
[tex]P( prem\ \&\ fill) = 0.2*0.5=0.10[/tex]
The probability that a random customer fills their tank is given by:
[tex]P(fill)=P( reg\ \&\ fill)+P( mid\ \&\ fill)+P( prem\ \&\ fill)\\P(fill) = 0.5*0.3+0.3*0.6+0.2*0.5\\P(fill) = 0.43[/tex]
Therefore, the probability that a customer used premium gas given that hey have filled their tank is:
[tex]P(prem| fill) = \frac{P( prem\ \&\ fill) }{P(fill)} \\P(prem| fill) =\frac{0.10}{0.43}=0.2326[/tex]
The probability is 0.2326 or 23.26%.
The perimeter of an equivalent triangle is 15 inches. A side of the triangle is x-2. What is the length of each side of the triangle
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
We have x-2 = 5
x-2 = 5 we separate parenthesis.
x(-2) = 5(+2)
x = 7
We can check this as what the x-2 is saying is 7-2 = 5
Answer:
Since it is an equilateral triangle,
Perimeter = 3s = 3 x side
=> 15 = 3 X (x - 2)
=> 15 = 3(x - 2)
=> 15 = 3x - 6
=> 3x = 15 + 6
=> 3x = 21
=> x = 21/3
=> x = 7
When x = 7,
=> Side = 7 - 2 = 5 inches
Since, it is an equilateral triangle all sides are of 5 inches each.

A statistics professor receives an average of five e-mail messages per day from students. Assume the number of messages approximates a Poisson distribution. What is the probability that on a randomly selected day she will have five messages
Answer:
The probability that on a randomly selected day the statistics professor will have five messages is 0.1755.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the random variable X represent the number of e-mail messages per day a statistics professor receives from students.
The random variable is approximated by the Poisson Distribution with parameter λ = 5.
The probability mass function of X is as follows:
[tex]P(X=x)=\frac{e^{-5}\cdot 5^{x}}{x!};\ x=0,1,2,3...[/tex]
Compute the probability that on a randomly selected day she will have five messages as follows:
[tex]P(X=5)=\frac{e^{-5}\cdot 5^{5}}{5!}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{0.006738\times 3125}{120}\\\\=0.17546875\\\\\approx 0.1755[/tex]
Thus, the probability that on a randomly selected day the statistics professor will have five messages is 0.1755.

How to find the roots of a quadratic equation?Suppose that the given quadratic equation is
[tex]ax^2 + bx + c = 0[/tex]
Then its roots are given as:
[tex]x = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}[/tex]
We have been given a quadratic equation
[tex]x^2 + 10x + 25 = 7[/tex]
[tex]x^2 + 10x + 25 - 7=0\\\\x^2 + 10x + 18[/tex]
The solution of the given equation;
[tex]x = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\\\\x = \dfrac{-10 \pm \sqrt{10^2 - 4\times 18}}{2}\\\\x = \dfrac{-10 \pm \sqrt{100- 36}}{2}\\\\x = \dfrac{-10 \pm \sqrt{64}}{2}\\\\x = \dfrac{-10 \pm 8}{2}\\[/tex]
Therefore, the solution are x = -1 and -9.

9. In 2002 the Georgia department of education reported a mean reading test score of 850 from Tattnall County Career Academy with a standard deviation of 50. The sample was taken from 100 11th grade students. Assuming the test scores are normally distributed, what is the standard error
Answer:
The standard error = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Explanation:-
Given sample size 'n' = 100
Given mean reading test score μ = 850
Given standard deviation of the population 'σ' = 50
The standard error is determined by
Standard error = [tex]\frac{S.D}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]
S.E = σ/√n
[tex]S.E = \frac{S.D}{\sqrt{n} } = \frac{50}{\sqrt{100} } = 5[/tex]
Final answer:-
The standard error ( S.E) = 5
how to find a local minimum of a function?
Answer:
Find the places where the derivative is zero and the second derivative is positive.
Step-by-step explanation:
By definition, a function has a minimum where the first derivative is zero and the second derivative is positive.
That will be a "local" minimum if there are other points on the function graph that have values less than that. It will be a "global" minimum if there are no other function values less than that. A global minimum is also a local minimum.
__
On a graph, a local minimum is the bottom of the "U" where the graph changes from negative slope to positive slope.
