1. \dfrac{9}{25} of students ride the bus to school. Note that

\dfrac{9}{25}=\dfrac{9\cdot 2}{25\cdot 2}=\dfrac{18}{50}.

2. \dfrac{19}{50} of students walk to school.

3. The fraction of students that ride the bus or walk to school is

\dfrac{18}{50}+\dfrac{19}{50}=\dfrac{18+19}{50}=\dfrac{37}{50}.

Answer: the fraction of students that ride the bus or walk to school is \dfrac{37}{50}.

The CEO of a local tech company wants to estimate the proportion of employees that are pleased with the cleanliness of the break
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Methods of obtaining a sample of 600 employees from the 4,700 workforce:

Part A:  The type of sampling method proposed by the CEO is Convenience Sampling.

Part B: When there are equal number of participants in both campuses, stratification by campus would give a more precise approximation of the proportion of employees who are satisfied with the cleanliness of the breakrooms than stratification by gender.  Another method to ensure that stratification by campus gives a more precise approximation of the proportion of employees who are satisfied with the cleanliness of the breakrooms than stratification by gender is to ensure that the sample is proportional to the proportion of each campus to the whole population or workforce.

Step-by-step explanation:

A Convenience Sampling technique is a non-probability (non-random) sampling method and the participants are selected based on availability (early attendees).  The early attendees might be different from the late attendees in characteristics such as age, sex, etc.  Therefore, sampling biases are present.  All non-probability sampling methods are prone to volunteer bias.

Stratified sampling  is more accurate and representative of the population.  It reduces sampling bias.  The difficulty arises in choosing the characteristic to stratify by.

A rock is thrown in the air from the edge of a seaside cliff. Its height in feet is represented by f(x) = –16(x^2 – 8x – 9), whe
algol13
Since x is the number of seconds it took the rock to hit the water, x is the value that we are looking for. When the rock hits the water, it's height is 0, therefore, f(x) = 0. So, we can set the expression on the right equal to 0, and solve for 0. Let's do just that:
0 = -16(x^2-8x-9)

We can divide by -16, nothing will happen because 0 divided by anything is 0:
0 = x^2-8x-9

To factor any trinomial in standard form (given below), we must find two numbers that add to "b" and multiply to "c":
0 = ax^2 + bx + c

So, for this specific question, let's find two numbers that add to -8 and multiply to 9. These are clearly 9 and -1. We can write it in this way now:
0 = (x-9)(x+1)

Both answers would be valid, but there can't be negative time, so your answer is "It takes 9 seconds for the rock to reach the water."

belka [17]

system of equations can be used to find the price in dollars of each large candle, x, and each small candle, y is  x+8y=68 and 3x+4y=64   .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , A customer at a store paid $64 for 3 large candles and 4 small candles. At the same store, a second customer paid $4 more than the first customer for 1 large candle and 8 small candles. The price of each large candle is the same, and the price of each small candle is the same. We need to find Which system of equations can be used to find the price in dollars of each large candle, x, and each small candle, y . Let's find out:

Let the price in dollars of each large candle, x, and each small candle, y .So

A customer at a store paid $64 for 3 large candles and 4 small candles

Equation is  :

⇒ 3x+4y=64  .....(1)

At the same store, a second customer paid $4 more than the first customer for 1 large candle and 8 small candles.

Equation is  :

⇒ x+8y=68  .......(2)

3(2)-(1) i.e.

⇒ 3(x+8y)-(3x+4y)=68(3)-64

⇒ 20y=140

⇒ y=7

So , x+8y=68  

⇒  x+8(7)=68

⇒  x=12

Therefore , system of equations can be used to find the price in dollars of each large candle, x, and each small candle, y is  x+8y=68 and 3x+4y=64   .
