Answer:

C - It is a sample proportion.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we have that 0.16 of the STUDENTS SURVEYED have ever used ecstasy. So 0.16 is the sample proportion.

The population proportion would be the percentage of all college students that have ever used Ecstasy.

The correct answer is:

C - It is a sample proportion.

First, we must know this: Complementary angles are two angles whose sum is equal to 90°, while supplementary angles are two angles whose sum is equal to 180°. That been said, the only statement which is true is the second statement, <span>MNL is complementary to KNL

Reasons why others are False
</span>GNJ is supplementary to JNK, not complementary
MNG is supplementary to GNJ, not complementary
LNJ (not KNJ) <span>is supplementary to MNL
</span>GNM is equal to JNK, not supplementary

In 154 N38 what digit should be replaced to N to make the number divisible by 3,6 and 9?​
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

N = 6 so that number becomes divisible by 3, 6 and 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Number Theory there is a rule of thumb which states that sum of digits of a multiple of 3 equal 3 or a multiple of three. If we know that n = 154N38, then its sum of digits is:

x = 1 + 5+4+N+3+8

x = 21+N (Eq. 1)

We have to determine which digits corresponds to multiples of three, there are four digits:

N = 0

x = 21+0

x = 21 (3\times 7 = 21)

N = 3

x = 21+3

x = 24 (3\times 8 = 24)

N = 6

x = 21+6

x = 27 (3\times 9 = 27)

N = 9

x = 21+9

x = 30 (3\times 10 = 30)

We get the following four distinct options: 154038, 154338, 154638, 154938. Now we find which number is divisible by 6 and 9 by factor decomposition:

154038 = 2\times 3\times 25673

154338 =2\times 3\times 29 \times 887

154638 = 2\times 3\times 3\times 11\times 11\times 71

154938 = 2\times 3\times 7\times 7\times 17\times 31

It is quite evident that N = 6 so that number becomes divisible by 3, 6 and 9.

5 bricklayers can lay a total of 50 bricks in 30 minutes. How many bricklayers will
iragen [17]

Answer:

First look at the number of bricks alone.

Going from 50 bricks to 60 bricks is more work, thus it will require more people. The number of people would be the ratio of the 2. Since the number must be larger, you know the numerator must be the larger of the 2 numbers, so you get 60/50

Next look at the time alone.

Going from 30 minutes to 20 minutes is more work, thus it will require more people. The number of people would be the ratio of the 2. Since the number must be larger, you know the numerator must be the larger of the 2 numbers, so you get 30/20

Now you can just multiply everything.

= 5*60/50*30/20

= 5*6/5*3/2

= 90\10

= 9.

Which graph shows a negative rate of change for the interval 0 to 2 on the x-axis?
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

<h2>Third graph.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

A negative rate of change refers to an decrease at certain interval.

In this case, we have to look a decrease between 0 and 2 along the horizontal axis.

So, if we observe the third graph, we'll se that inside the given interval, the graph is decreasing, that indicates the negative rate of change that's being ask.

Therefore, the correct graph is the third one.
