Charles wants to find out if the students in foreign language classes spend more time in class speaking in English or in the for

eign
language they are studying. Charles first gets class lists of all students taking foreign language classes. He then chooses 10
students from each different language class to survey. Which best explains why the sample he chose may not be a
representative sample?
The sample size is not large enough to represent the population.
The sample was not chosen at random.
The way the sample was chosen may overrepresent or underrepresent students taking certain language classes.
The way the sample was chosen does not sample students from each different language class.

C. The way the sample was chosen may overrepresent or underrepresent students taking certain language classes.

The samples he chose may not be a representative sample because the number of students per foreign language class may not be the same. Since classes have different numbers of students, one may have a very large number of students while another may have only a few. Taking equal number of students per class is not a representative sample because it doesn't represent the students correctly.

A. One day Annie weighed 24 ounces more than Benjie, and Benjie weighed 3 1/4 pounds less than Carmen. How did Annie’s and Carme
Debora [2.8K]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

A.

Let Annie's weight be = a

Let Benjie's weighs = b

Let Carmen's weight be = c

One day Annie weighed 24 ounces more than Benjie, equation forms:

a=b+24        ......(1)

Benjie weighed 3 1/4 pounds less than Carmen.  

In ounces:

1 pound = 16 ounces

\frac{13}{4} pounds = \frac{13}{4}\times16=52 ounces

b=c-52  or

c=b+52    ......(2)

Now adding (1) and (2), we get

a+b=b+24+c-52

=> a=c-28

This gives  Annie weighs 28 ounces less than Carmen.

B.

We cannot know anyone's actual weight, as we only know their relative weights.

Lincoln Junior High School asked all of their eighth grade students the question, “What is your favorite breakfast?” and 18 perc
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

I hope this image and explanation helps you!

Step-by-step explanation:

All students in the eighth grade were surveyed, so we can make the valid conclusion that 18% of all students in the eighth grade at Lincoln Junior High School have pancakes as their favorite breakfast.

However, the question did not ask about the students' favorite meal of the day, so we cannot draw any valid conclusions about the students' favorite meal.

The valid conclusion:

18% of all students in the eighth grade at Lincoln Junior High School have pancakes as their favorite breakfast, but we cannot conclude anything about the percent of the population who have breakfast as their favorite meal.

6 tractors take 10days to collect the harvest. How long would it take 18 tractors to do the same amount of work?
Nutka1998 [239]
This is a question of proportionality. However, it is not direct proportionality as it is expected that as the number of tractors increases, the work is finished faster as opposed to fewer number of tractors. This is referred to as inverse proportionality.

Therefore;
6 tractors ----- 10 days
18 tractors --- x days

Then,
x = (6*10)/18 = 10/3 days = 3 days, and 8 hours.

This means that 18 tractors will take 3 days and 8 hours to collect the same harvest.

Lisa says that the indicated angles cannot have the same measure. Marita disagrees and says she can prove that they can have the
AlexFokin [52]
I agree with Marita, that the angles could have the same measure.  This can be proven if you set the two amounts equal and solve for x. 

9x - 25 + x = x + 50 + 2x - 12

To begin, we should combine like terms on both sides of the equation to start simplifying the equation.

10x - 25 = 3x + 38

Next, we should subtract 3x from both sides and add 25 to both sides to get the variable x alone on the left side of the equation.

7x = 63

Finally, we should divide both sides by 7, to get rid of the coefficient of x.

x = 9

If you plug in 9 for x in our first equation, you get that both of the angle measurements equal 65 degrees.  This means that Marita is correct, because if x = 9, then the angles would have the same measure.
