To estimate the mean number of text messages sent by cell-phone users, a researcher chooses a location on a college campus in the city and surveys the first 50 people who walk past. These subjects are asked how many text messages they have sent in the past 24 hours. Is it likely that bias will be present in the sample?
A) Because this is a convenience sample, it is likely that the sample results will be unbiased.
B) Because this is a convenience sample of college students, it is likely that bias is present and that the results will overestimate the mean number of text messages sent.
C) Because this is a convenience sample of college students, it is likely that bias is present and that the results will underestimate the mean number of text messages sent.
D) Because this is a voluntary response sample of college students, it is likely that bias is present and that the results will overestimate the mean number of text messages sent.
Answer:
WARNING! C IS INCORRECT 2021.
MOST LIKELY (B): Because this is a convenience sample of college students, it is likely that bias is present and that the results will overestimate the mean number of text messages sent.

The seventh term of an arithmetic progression is equal to twice the fifth term. The sum
of the first seven terms is 84. Find the first term.
Answer:
a₁ = - 24
Step-by-step explanation:
The n th term of an AP is
[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Given a₇ = 2a₅ , then
a₁ + 6d = 2(a₁ + 4d) = 2a₁ + 8d ( subtract 2a₁ + 8d from both sides )
- a₁ - 2d = 0 → (1)
The sum to n terms of an AP is
[tex]S_{n}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{n}{2}[/tex] [ 2a₁ + (n - 1)d ]
Given [tex]S_{7}[/tex] = 84 , then
[tex]\frac{7}{2}[/tex] (2a₁ + 6d) = 84
3.5(2a₁ + 6d) = 84 ( divide both sides by 3.5 )
2a₁ + 6d = 24 → (2)
Thus we have 2 equations
- a₁ - 2d = 0 → (1)
2a₁ + 6d = 24 → (2)
Multiplying (1) by 3 and adding to (2) will eliminate d
- 3a₁ - 6d = 0 → (3)
Add (2) and (3) term by term to eliminate d
- a₁ = 24 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
a₁ = - 24
find the distance between points (2, 9) and (5, 4) to the nearest tenth
Answer:
[tex]Distance = 5.8[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]d=\sqrt{(4-9)^{2} } { (5-2)} ^{2} \\[/tex]
[tex]d = -5^{2} + 3^{2}[/tex]
[tex]d= 25 + 9[/tex]
[tex]d= \sqrt{34}[/tex]
[tex]distance = 5.8[/tex]
Is x = 1 a solution of the equation 2 – 8x = –6?
Let's verify by substituting 1 to x.
2 - 8x = -6
2 - 8(1) = -6
2 - 8 = -6
-6 = -6
It is equal, therefore x = 1 is the solution.
Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute x = 1 into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then it is a solution.
2 - 8(1) = 2 - 8 = - 6 = right side
Thus x = 1 is a solution of the equation

Rohini spends 88℅ of her monthly income. If she saves rs 3420 per month,what is her monthly income ?
Answer:
rs 28500
Step-by-step explanation:
If she saves rs3420 and spends 88% we need to convert 88% to a decimal first.
88% = 88/100 = .88
Let m equal her monthly income.
m - .88m = 3420
.12m = 3420
.12m/.12 = 3420/.12
m = 3420/.12
m = 28500
He monthly income is rs28500.

Angle A and Angle B are supplementary. If Angle A has a measure of 100 degrees and Angle B has a measure of 7x, what is the value of x?
Answer:
x=11.429 (rounded) because a supplementary angle is equal to 180 degrees so 180-100=80. 80/7=11.429 (rounded).

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-8, 3) and has a
slope of -1/4
Answer:
-1/4x + 1 ( If this is wrong then ignore this)
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for a problem like this is y - y1 = m(x - x1). The x coordinate, -8 is the x1 and the y coordinate 3 is x1. So the equation is y - 3 = -1/4(x + 8)
Equation:
y - 3 = -1/4(x + 8)
y - 3= -1/4x - 2
y = -1/4x + 1
Therefore the equation for the line is y = -1/4x + 1
Given parameters:
Slope of the line = [tex]-\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Coordinates of the points = (-8, 3)
Unknown:
Equation of the line = ?
Solution:
To find the equation of the line, we must note that any straight line can be represented by the equation;
y = mx + c
where x and y are the coordinates
m is the slope
c is the y-intercept of the line
Input the parameters and solve for c;
x = -8 and y = 3;
3 = [tex]-\frac{1}{4}[/tex] x (-8) + c
3 = 2 + c
c = 1;
So the equation of the line is ;
y = [tex]-\frac{1}{4}[/tex]x + 1
multiply through by 4;
4y = -x + 4
The equation of the line is 4y = -x + 4

Ayuda con esto tengo muchos deberes y nececito terminarlos ahora, por favor ayuda :( .María y Nancy son vecinas, y todas estas semanas han realizado compras en el mercado. La semana pasada María gastó 25,75 dólares, exactamente 3 veces más de lo que gastó Nancy, que tenía poco que comprar. ¿Cuánto dinero se gastó Nancy?
Answer:
Nancy gastó 8,58 dólares.
Step-by-step explanation:
Para calcular cuánto dinero gastó Nancy, debemos hallar la relación entre Nancy y María, tal como sigue:
[tex] M = 3N [/tex] (1)
En donde M es por María y N por Nancy
En la relación de la equación (1) tenemos que el dinero que gastó María es 3 veces lo que gastó Nancy, tal como dice el enunciado.
Entonces, podemos hallar ahora cuánto gastó Nancy:
[tex] N = \frac{M}{3} = \frac{25,75}{3} = 8,58 [/tex]
Por lo tanto, Nancy gastó 8,58 dólares.

Answer:
Answer: (1,-7)
Step-by-step explanation:
since the translation is under (x + 4, y - 2)
the symbols (+ and -) would change so the translation to use would be
(x - 4, y + 2)
so you plug in (5, -9) to the new translation and you get your answer which is (1,-7)
