Answer:

b) observing every person walking down Main Street at 5 p.m. one evening to determine the percentage of people who wear glasses.

d) taking a poll in the lunch room (where all students currently have to eat lunch) to determine the number of students who want to be able to leave campus during lunch.

Step-by-step explanation:

These are the two options that are most likely to give you a sample that fairly represents the population. In the first case, the sample that you obtain is likely to be a good representation because Main Street is a road where a great variety of people walk. Moreover, 5 pm is also a time that will allow you to see a great number of different people. The second answer will also give you a good sample, as the poll would include all students in the lunch room, which is all students in the school (the whole population).

Six teachers and 12 students volunteer for a committee to discuss extra-curricular activities. How many committees of 5 people c

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

a) $X=3300$

b) $Y=7770$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Number Teachers $T=6$

Number Student $S=12$

Number in committee $n=5$

a) Generally the equation for exactly 3 students on the committee is mathematically given by

$X=^{S}C_3*^{T}C_3$

$X=^{12}C_3*^{6}C_3$

$X=3300$

b) Generally the equation for at least one teacher and at least one student on the committee is mathematically given by

Total Ways-(no of ways of selection no teacher or student)

Where total Ways

$T=^{(6+12)}C_5$

$T=8568$

Therefore

$Y=8568-^{6}C_0*^{12}C_5+^{12}C_0*^{6}C_5$

$Y=8568-798$

$Y=7770$

A village was founded four hundred years ago by a group of 20 people. In this village, the population triples every one hundred

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Treat this like compound interest: Use A = P(1 + r)^t.

Here, P is the initial population and A is 3 times that, or 3P. Since P = 20 people, 3P = 60 people,

and this population is reached after 100 years.

We need to determine r, substitute its value into the formula A = P(1 + r)^t, and then determine the population of the village after 400 years.

60 = 20(1 + r)^100

Simplifying, 3 = (1 + r)^100.

Taking the natural log of both sides,

ln 3 = 100 ln (1 + r), or

ln 3

ln (1 + r) = ---------------

100

= 1.0986 / 100 = 0.01986

We must solve this for r. Raising e to the power ln (1 + r), on the left side of an equation, and raising e to the power 0. 01986 on the right side, we get:

1 + r = 3, so r must = 2.

Now find the pop of the village today. Use the same equation: A = P (1+r)^t.

A = 20(1 +2)^4 (hundreds),

A = 20(3)^4, or

A = 81

The population after 400 years is 81.
