Bill wanted to know how many times students at his middle school go to the beach each week during the summer. He surveyed every other middle school student at the mall last Saturday. After analyzing the data collected, Bill determined that the average student from his middle school goes to the beach about 2.4 times a week during the summer. What error did he make in the survey?

Answers

Answer 1

The survey was intended for Bill's middle school during the summer. The

survey was administered to students of other schools on a Saturday.

The type of error is the selection bias error.

Reasons:

The type of error made is a non sampling error, given that the target of the

study is the number of times in a week students at his middle school

attend the beach during the summer.

The errors are; Selection bias error.

The given that the students survey are not from his middle school.The survey was carried out once on a Saturday, where the target was during the summer.

You have a Right Triangle with side lengths of 9ft and 12ft; solve for its perimeter and area.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

of course, we have to use Pythagoras.

c² = a² + b²

c is the Hypotenuse = the side opposite of the 90° angle.

and here is the problem : are 9 and 12 the legs. or is one of them the Hypotenuse ?

I don't know from the description.

let's see what we get one way or the other :

assumption : the known sides are the "legs".

c² = 9² + 12² = 81 + 144 = 225

c = 15 ft

that is a nice number. so, it looks like that was the intention.

just to be sure, here also the other options :

9² = 12² + side²

81 = 144 + side² that makes side² negative, so, not valid.

12² = 9² + side²

144 = 81 + side²

63 = side²

side = sqrt(63) this is not a nice round number, so, we go with the first option.

therefore, the 3 sides are

9 ft, 12 ft, 15 ft

perimeter = 9+12+15 = 36 ft

area = baseline×height/2

since this is a right-angled triangle, the "legs" with the enclosed 90° angle serve as baseline and height.

area = 9×12/2 = 9×6 = 54 ft²

find the 99th term of the arithimic sequence 2, 5/2, 3, 7/2, ...

Answers

Answer:

99th term is 51

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic sequence equation

a1= first term = 2

d= common difference = 0.5 or 1/2

2, 5/2 = 5/2 - 2 = 0.5 or 1/2

3 - 5/2 = 1/2

7/2 - 3 = 1/2

an = a1 + (n - 1)d

a99 = 2 + (99-1) 1/2

a99= 2 + 98 (1/2)

a99 = 2 + 49

a99 = 51

Part D: Your parents put in fencing around the walkway for safety. If 110 feet of
fencing is used, what are the dimensions of the pool? Show your work.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Not near enough information to know.

I ASSUME that the pool is surrounded by a walkway of constant width (w = 2 ft, from comments)

The pool shape is important as well. No mention of  the shape

If the pool is circular and the walkway is 3 ft wide

the fence encloses a diameter of 110/π = 35 ft

so the diameter of the pool would be 35 - 2(3) = 29 ft.

POOL IS RECTANGULAR from comments

If the pool is square and the walkway is 2 ft wide, each side of the fence is

110 / 4 = 27.5 ft and the pool would be 27.5 - 2(2) = 23.5 ft on a side.

There are an infinite number of rectangular width and length dimensions and walkway dimensions which would result in a fence length of 110 ft.

Edit from comments

Still an infinite number of rectangular length an width dimensions for a pool with a 2 ft wide walkway around it.

Let's say that we are told the pool is 12 ft wide with 2 ft walkway.

Let L be the pool length

110 = 2(12 + 2(2)) + 2(L + 2(2))

110 = 32 + 2L + 8

70 = 2L

L = 35 ft

Last week a candle store received $515.90 for selling 30 candles. Small candles sell for $11.25 and large candles sell for $22.40. how many large candles did the store sell?

Answers

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=30  solve for x   x=30-y

substitute x with 30-y and solve

11.25x+22.4y=515.9

11.25(30-y)+22.4y=515.9

337.5+11.15y=515.9

11.15y=178.4

y=16

Answers

Answer:

[tex]The \: fraction \: \frac{15}{4} \: is \: equivalent \: to \: 3 \frac{3}{4 } .[/tex]

This fraction is a improper fraction once the absolute value of the top number or numerator (15) is greater than the absolute value of the bottom number or denomintor (4). So, the equivalent fraction is a mixed number which is made up of a whole number (3) and a proper fraction [tex]3 \frac{3}{4} [/tex]

The fraction [tex] \frac{15}{4} [/tex]

is also equal to 15÷4 and can also be expressed as a decimal as 3.75 and expressed as a percentage as 375%.

The fraction 15/4 is equivalent to 3 3/4.

Here, we have,

To simplify the fraction 15/4, you need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator (15) and the denominator (4) and divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCD.

The GCD of 15 and 4 is 1 since there are no common factors other than 1.

Dividing both the numerator and denominator by 1, we get:

(15 ÷ 1) / (4 ÷ 1) = 15/4

This fraction is a improper fraction once the absolute value of the top number or numerator (15) is greater than the absolute value of the bottom number or denominator (4).

So, the equivalent fraction is a mixed number which is made up of a whole number (3) and a proper fraction 3 3/4.

The fraction 15/4 is also equal to 15÷4 and can also be expressed as a decimal as 3.75 and expressed as a percentage as 375%.
