A regional transportation authority is interested in estimating the mean number of minutes working adults in the region spend commuting to work on a typical day. A random sample of working adults will be selected from each of three strata: urban, suburban, and rural. Selected individuals will be asked the number of minutes they spend commuting to work on a typical day. Why is stratification used in this situation?

A. To remove bias when estimating the proportion of working adults living in urban, suburban, and rural areas.B. To remove bias when estimating mean commuting time.C. To reduce bias when estimating mean commuting time.D. To decrease the variability in estimates of the proportion of working adults living in urban, suburban, and rural areas.E. To decrease the variability in estimates of the mean commuting time.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

To reduce bias when estimating mean commuting time

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the selection of adults is based on the three strata found in the region; urban, suburban, and rural areas where the population and proportion of adults commuting to work is progressively decreasing, using a uniform number or sample size will not increase sample error as there are more commuters in the urban areas than in the suburban or rural areas, likewise, there are more commuters in the suburban area than in the rural areas, and as such the proportion of those sampled in the urban  areas should be more than those surveyed in the suburban while those surveyed in the suburban areas should be more than those surveyed in the rural areas to reduce bias when estimating the mean as there will be more general representation.

on the number line, point b is between points a and c. the distance between points a and b is 1/3 of ac.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

find distance of AC first

ac= √(y2-y1)²+(x2-x1)²

since there is no y we will consider it zero

so Ac= √(16-(-8))²

ac=24

ab is 1/3 of ac so it means

24*1/3=8

so ab is 8 units

The location of point B on the number line is 0.

Given that,
on the number line, point b is between points a and c. the distance between points a and b is 1/3 of ac.

What is a number line?

A number line is defined as the number marked on the line calibrated into an equal number of units. For example -1, 0, 1, and so on.

Here,
AB = 1/3 AC
AB = 1/3 (16 - (-8))
AB = 1/3 (16 + 8)
AB = 1/3 * 24
AB = 24 / 3
AB = 8
B - A = 8
B - (-8) = 8
B + 8 = 8
B = 8 - 8
B = 0

Thus, location of the point B on the number line is at 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression (7x10⁵)x(3x10²) in the standard form will be 2.1 x 10⁸.

What is an expression?

The mathematical expression combines numerical variables and operations denoted by addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division signs.

Mathematical symbols can be used to represent numbers (constants), variables, operations, functions, brackets, punctuation, and grouping. They can also denote the logical syntax's operation order and other properties.

Given that the expression is (7x10⁵)x(3x10²). The standard form of the expressions can be written as,

E = (7x10⁵)x(3x10²)

E = ( 7 x 3 ) x ( 10⁵⁺²)

E = 21 x 10⁷

E = 2.1 x 10⁸

more useful for finding how much paint she needs?

Circumference

Area

How much paint does she need?

square inches

Submit

??? What is it

Answers

Answer:

Minor note: A table is circular.

In this case, the area is more useful to find out how much the paint covers.

This is, because the circumference is the perimeter of the table whilst the area is the whole region of the table.

So to find out the area of this table, we must use the formula for the area of a regular circle.

A = π[tex]r^{2}[/tex]

Where 'π' represents pi(22/7 or 3.14), and 'r' represents the radius which is being squared.

But, if we see the information that we have, we can see that it gives the diameter and not the radius.

So in order to find out our radius, we must perform 1/2 of the diameter(1/2 x diameter) to find the radi.

30(diameter) x 1/2

= 15 is the radius.

Now we substitute this value into our equation, since it's the only information we need.

A = π[tex]r^{2}[/tex]

A = 3.14(15^2)

A = 3.14(225)

A = 706.5 square inches of paint is needed to cover the table.

Is it Possible for the expression 1+|a| to have a result that is less than 0?

Answers

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a is in absolute value symbols, you would be adding a positive number to 1, and therefore cannot have a number lower than 0.

For example, say a = -3. We would get 1 + |-3| = 4.

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the vertical lines mean the absolute value of a.

-  a negative value of a like -2 in vertical lines  has absolute value 2.

If a = 0 then absolute value = 0.

So 1+|a|   will always be positive.

I don't get my question for my homework. Here is the questions, "You have 46 gold coins, 115 diamonds, and 184 rubies. You need to put them in treasure chests, and each chest must contain the same number of each individual item. What is the greatest number of treasure chests you can fill? How many gold coins in each chest? How many diamonds in each chest? How many rubies in each chest? " This is the type of question. There is also one more problem I'm stuck on. "You and some friends took a metal detector to the beach every day for a week to search for coins. You managed to find 246 nickels, 312 dimes, and 204 quarters. When you divided them up, you realized that each person got the same exact amount of each coin with no coins remaining. How many are in your group? How many nickels did each person receive? How many dimes did each person receive? How many quarters did each person receive?" Please help me out! Thanks

Answers

Answer:

Question 1

The greatest number of treasure chest you can fill = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Gold coins = 46

Diamonds = 115

Rubies = 184

To determine the greatest number of treasure chests you can fill, find the highest common factors of 46, 115 and 184

46 = 1, 2, 23, 46.

125 = 1, 5, 23, 115

184 = 1,2,4,8,23,46,92,184

The highest common factors of 46, 115 and 184 is 23

The greatest number of treasure chest you can fill = 23

Number of gold coins in each chest = 46/23

= 2

Number of diamonds in each chest = 115 / 23

= 5

Number of rubies in each chest = 184 /23

= 8

Question 2

Nickels = 246

Dimes = 312

Quarters = 204

Find the highest common factor of 246, 312, 204

246 = 1, 2, 3, 6, 41, 82, 123, 246

312 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 13, 24, 26, 39, 52, 78, 104, 156, 312.

204 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 17, 34, 51, 68, 102, 204

The highest common factor of 246, 312, 204 is 6

How many are in your group?

6 members

There are 6 members in your group that each person got the same exact amount of each coin with no coins remaining.

Number of nickels each person receive = 246 / 6

= 41

Number of dimes each person receive = 312 / 6

= 52

Number of quarters each person receive = 204 / 6

= 34

Answer:

The solution to the system is: (3, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

y = -2x + 8

and

4x - 2y = 8

We are given the "y" in this equation.

So when solving these questions, it is better to use the substitution method when solving

So we substitute "y = -2x + 8" with "y" in the equation "4x - 2y = 8

So, the equation would look like this: 4x - 2(-2x + 8) = 8

And we are solving for "x" in the equation

4x − 2(−2x + 8) = 8  (Distribute)

−2(−2x+8)  (Simplify)

4x + 4x − 16 = 8  (Combine Like Terms)

(4x + 4x) − 16 = 8  (Simplify)

8x − 16 = 8  (Add 16 to both sides)

8x - 16 + 16 = 8 + 16  (Simplify)

8x = 24  (Divide both sides by 8)

8x/8 = 24 (Simplify)

x = 3

Now that we know the "x", in this equation, we can solve for the "y"

We just substitute the "x" into the equation "y = -2x + 8"

The equation looks like this: y = -2(3) + 8

y = -2(3) + 8

Multiply −2 and 3 to get −6

y = -6 + 8

Add −6 and 8 to get 2

y = 2

(x, y) = (3, 2)

The solution to the system is: (3, 2)

The answer would be x= 3 and y=2
