Explain why a sample of 30 dentists from a large city taken to estimate the median income of all residents of that large city is

not representative
Mathematics

WARRIOR [948]1 year ago

Answer: Because all individuals in the sample have the same job, so the sample is biased.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ignoring the fact that 30 is a small sample for a large city, we already know that all the people in the sample has the same profession.

Now, we can expect that two dentists win have around the same income, but not all the residents in the city are dentists

A lot of them work in fast food, others may be lawyers, others may be freelancers.

We have a lot of jobs where the income does not coincide with the average income of a dentist, so with the sample of 30 dentists we are not actually representing all the other possible jobs that there are in the city.

If we want a sample that represents the income of all the residents, we should have a random sample (so the sample is not biased, like in this case).

the area of a trapezium is 594 sq. cm. The lengths of its parallel sides are in the ratio 4 : 5. The height of the trapezium is
Sophie [7]

Answer:

1st side=44 cm, 2nd side= 55cm

Step-by-step explanation:

let a = '4x' , b = '5x'

h= 12cm

Area of trapezium=1/2*(a+b)h

area=594=1/2*9x*12

594*2/12=9x

594/6=9x

99=9x

99/9=11=x

therefore, 4x=4*11=44cm

             &5x=5*11=55cm

Linda commutes a total of 54 miles to and from work every day. She needs a new car, and good gas mileage is important to her. Sh
Alchen [17]
The answer is 1 gallon.

Miles per gallon(mpg) is computed by dividing the distance traveled by the how many gallons used. So you can derive a formula for how many gallons you would use given the mpg. You will end up with:

gallon =  \frac{miles travelled}{miles per gallon}

The problem asks for how many gallons of gas she will safe in a five-day work work week. So first you need to compute how many miles that would be. 

54 miles/day x 5days =  270 miles

So in a five day work week, she will travel 270 miles.

Now to see how much gas she will save, compute how many gallons she will use up for each car, given the mpg of each and find the difference. 

First model:30 mpg

gallons = \frac{270miles}{30mpg}
gallons = 9g
 
This means that with the first model, she will have used up 9 gallons in a 5-day work week.

Second model: 27 mpg
g = \frac{270mi}{27mi/g}
g = 10g

This means that with the second model, she will have used up 10g in a 5-day work week. 

Now for the last bit. How much will she save? You can get that by getting the difference of how many gallons each car would have used up.

10gallons - 9gallons = 1g

So she would have saved 1 gallon of gas if she buys the first car instead of the second.

o-na [289]

Answer: it could end in 20 different ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

This match could be

3x0 D or F

3x1 D or F

3x2 D or F

For 3x0

We have 2 options: DDD or FFF

2.P₁ = 2.1 = 2

For 3x1

We have 6 options

DFDD         FDFF

DDFD         FFDF    

FDDD         DFFF

2.3.1 = 6

For 3x2

we have 12 options:

DFDFD          FDFDF

DDFFD          FFDDF

DFFDD          FDDFF

FFDDD          DDFFF

FDFDD          DFDFF

FDDFD          DFFDF

2.3.2 = 12

In total we could have 20 outcomes.
