The coordinates of point B on line segment AC are (8/13, 17/26).

To find the coordinates of point B on line segment AC, we need to use the given ratio of 2:12:12.

Calculate the difference in x-coordinates and y-coordinates between points A and C.
  - Difference in x-coordinates: -4 - 2 = -6
  - Difference in y-coordinates: 7 - (-8) = 15

Divide the difference in x-coordinates and y-coordinates by the sum of the ratios (2 + 12 + 12 = 26) to find the individual ratios.
  - x-ratio: -6 / 26 = -3 / 13
  - y-ratio: 15 / 26

Multiply the individual ratios by the corresponding ratio values to find the coordinates of point B.
  - x-coordinate of B: (2 - 3/13 * 6) = (2 - 18/13) = (26/13 - 18/13) = 8/13
  - y-coordinate of B: (-8 + 15/26 * 15) = (-8 + 225/26) = (-208/26 + 225/26) = 17/26

Therefore, the coordinates of point B on line segment AC are (8/13, 17/26).

Expanding each pair of ordered pairs:

(f+g)(x) = {(-5, 4), (-2, -1), (0, 2), (3, 1), (5, -2)}

b) To state (f-g)(x), we need to subtract the corresponding y-values of f and g for each x-value.

The given problem can be solved separetely. Let's solve each of the given problems using implicit differentiation.

Question 1:

We have the equation z² + y³ = 10, and we need to find dz/dy without first solving for y.

Differentiating both sides of the equation with respect to y:

2z * dz/dy + 3y² = 0

Rearranging the equation to solve for dz/dy:

dz/dy = -3y² / (2z)

Question 2:

We have the equation z² * y² = 64/81, and we need to find dy/dz.

Differentiating both sides of the equation with respect to z:

2z * y² * dz/dz + z² * 2y * dy/dz = 0

Simplifying the equation and solving for dy/dz:

dy/dz = -2zy / (2y² * z + z²)

Question 3:

We have the inequality 4x² + 3x + 2y <= 110, and we need to find dy/dz.

Since this is an inequality, we cannot directly differentiate it. Instead, we can consider the given point (-5, -5) as a specific case and evaluate the slope at that point.

Substituting x = -5 and y = -5 into the equation, we get:

4(-5)² + 3(-5) + 2(-5) <= 110

100 - 15 - 10 <= 110

75 <= 110

Since the inequality is true, the slope dy/dz exists at the given point.

Question 4:

We have the equation 16 + 1022y + y² = 27, and we need to find dy/dz. Now, we need to find the equation of the tangent line to the curve at (1, 1).

First, differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to z:

0 + 1022 * dy/dz + 2y * dy/dz = 0

Simplifying the equation and solving for dy/dz:

dy/dz = -1022 / (2y)

Question 5:

We have the equation -2x² - 3ry - 2y³ = -76, and we need to find the slope of the tangent line at the point (2, 3).

Differentiating both sides of the equation with respect to x:

-4x - 3r * dy/dx - 6y² * dy/dx = 0

Substituting x = 2, y = 3 into the equation:

-8 - 3r * dy/dx - 54 * dy/dx = 0

Simplifying the equation and solving for dy/dx:

dy/dx = -8 / (3r + 54)

Question 6:

We have the equation 2(x² + y²)² = 25(x² - y²), and we need to find the slope of the tangent line at the point (3, -1).

Differentiating both sides of the equation with respect to x:

4(x² + y²)(2x) = 25(2x - 2y * dy/dx)

Substituting x = 3, y = -1 into the equation:

4(3² + (-1)²)(2 * 3) = 25(2 * 3 - 2(-1) * dy/dx)

Simplifying the equation and solving for dy/dx:

dy/dx = -16 / 61

In some of the questions, we had to substitute specific values to evaluate the slope at a given point because the differentiation alone was not enough to find the slope.

Given the matrix P:

P = | 1 2 |

And the diagonal matrix D:

D = | 1 0 |

To compute  A⁴, we need to compute [tex]D^4[/tex] and substitute it into the formula.

First, let's compute D⁴:

D⁴ = | 1^4 0 |

By applying the Laplace transform to both sides of the integral equation, we obtain:

L{f(t)} - 32L{e^{-9t}} = 15tL{sen(t-u)f(u)du}

The Laplace transform of [tex]e^{-9t}[/tex] is given by[tex]L{e^{-9t}} = 1/(s+9)[/tex], and the Laplace transform of sen(t-u)f(u)du can be represented by F(s), which has a numerator of the form (a₂s² + a₁s + a₀)(s² + 1).

Comparing the equation, we have:

1/(s+9) - 32/(s+9) = 15tF(s)

Combining the terms on the left side, we get:

(1 - 32/(s+9))/(s+9) = 15tF(s)

To find the value of a₀, we compare the numerators:

1 - 32/(s+9) = 15t(a₂s² + a₁s + a₀)

Expanding the equation, we have:

s² + 9s - 32 = 15ta₂s² + 15ta₁s + 15ta₀

The greatest common divisor of 3060 and 1155 is 15. S = 13, t = -27

In this case, S = 13 and t = -27. To check, we can substitute these values in the expression for the linear combination and simplify as follows: 13 × 3060 - 27 × 1155 = 39,780 - 31,185 = 8,595

i) To find T(I), we substitute A = I (the identity matrix) into the definition of T:

T(I) = B^(-1)IB = B^(-1)B = I

To find T(B), we substitute A = B into the definition of T:

T(B) = B^(-1)BB = B^(-1)B = I

ii) To show that I is a linear transformation, we need to verify two properties: additivity and scalar multiplication.

Additivity:

Let A, C be matrices in MM, and consider T(A + C):

T(A + C) = B^(-1)(A + C)B

Expanding this expression using matrix multiplication, we have:

T(A + C) = B^(-1)AB + B^(-1)CB

Now, consider T(A) + T(C):

T(A) + T(C) = B^(-1)AB + B^(-1)CB

Since matrix multiplication is associative, we have:

T(A + C) = T(A) + T(C)

Thus, T(A + C) = T(A) + T(C), satisfying the additivity property.

Scalar Multiplication:

Let A be a matrix in MM and let k be a scalar, consider T(kA):

T(kA) = B^(-1)(kA)B

Expanding this expression using matrix multiplication, we have:

T(kA) = kB^(-1)AB

Now, consider kT(A):

kT(A) = kB^(-1)AB

Since matrix multiplication is associative, we have:

T(kA) = kT(A)

Thus, T(kA) = kT(A), satisfying the scalar multiplication property.

Since T satisfies both additivity and scalar multiplication, we conclude that I is a linear transformation.

iii) To show that ker(T) = {0}, we need to show that the only matrix A in MM such that T(A) = 0 is the zero matrix.

Let A be a matrix in MM such that T(A) = 0:

T(A) = B^(-1)AB = 0

Since B^(-1) is invertible, we can multiply both sides by B to obtain:

AB = 0

Since A and B are invertible matrices, the only matrix that satisfies AB = 0 is the zero matrix.

Therefore, the kernel of T, ker(T), contains only the zero matrix, i.e., ker(T) = {0}.

iv) To show that if CE Man n, then C € R(T), we need to show that if C is in the column space of T, then there exists a matrix A in MM such that T(A) = C.

Since C is in the column space of T, there exists a matrix A' in MM such that T(A') = C.

Let A = BA' (Note: A is in MM since B and A' are in MM).

Now, consider T(A):

T(A) = B^(-1)AB = B^(-1)(BA')B = B^(-1)B(A'B) = A'

Thus, T(A) = A', which means T(A) = C.

Therefore, if C is in the column space of T, there exists a matrix A in MM such that T(A) = C, satisfying C € R(T).

a) The probability of a successful well in field A is 18%.
b) The probability of a successful well in field B is 16.5%.
c) The probability of both a successful well in field A and a successful well in field B is 7.2%.
d) The probability of at least one successful well in the two fields together is 26.7%.

To calculate the probabilities, we use the given information and apply the rules of conditional probability and probability addition.
a) The probability of a successful well in field A is calculated by multiplying the probability of drilling a well in field A (40%) with the probability of success given that a well is drilled in field A (45%). Therefore, the probability of a successful well in field A is 0.4 * 0.45 = 0.18 or 18%.
b) Similarly, the probability of a successful well in field B is calculated by multiplying the probability of drilling a well in field B (30%) with the probability of success given that a well is drilled in field B (55%). Hence, the probability of a successful well in field B is 0.3 * 0.55 = 0.165 or 16.5%.
c) To find the probability of both a successful well in field A and a successful well in field B, we multiply the probabilities of success in each field. Therefore, the probability is 0.18 * 0.165 = 0.0297 or 2.97%.
d) The probability of at least one successful well in the two fields together can be calculated by adding the probabilities of a successful well in field A and a successful well in field B, and subtracting the probability of both wells being unsuccessful (complement). Thus, the probability is 0.18 + 0.165 - 0.0297 = 0.315 or 31.5%.
By applying the principles of probability, we can determine the probabilities for each scenario based on the given information.

(a) The points where the tangent to curve C is horizontal or vertical can be found by analyzing the derivatives of the parametric equations. (b) To find the equations of the tangents to C at a given point, we need to find the derivative of the parametric equations and use it to determine the slope of the tangent line. (c) The concavity of the curve C can be determined by analyzing the second derivative of the parametric equations.

(a) To find points where the tangent is horizontal or vertical, we need to find values of t that make the derivative of y (dy/dt) equal to zero or undefined. Taking the derivative of y with respect to t:

dy/dt = 15t² - 1

To find where the tangent is horizontal, we set dy/dt equal to zero and solve for t:

15t² - 1 = 0

15t² = 1

t² = 1/15

t = ±√(1/15)

To find where the tangent is vertical, we need to find values of t that make the derivative undefined. In this case, there are no such values since dy/dt is defined for all t.

(b) To find the equations of tangents at a given point, we need to find the slope of the tangent at that point, which is given by dy/dt. Let's consider the point (t₀, 0). The slope of the tangent at this point is:

dy/dt = 15t₀² - 1

Using the point-slope form of a line, the equation of the tangent line is:

y - 0 = (15t₀² - 1)(t - t₀)

Simplifying, we get:

y = (15t₀² - 1)t - 15t₀³ + t₀

(c) To determine where the curve is concave upward or downward, we need to find the second derivative of y (d²y/dt²) and analyze its sign. Taking the derivative of dy/dt with respect to t:

d²y/dt² = 30t

The sign of d²y/dt² indicates concavity. Positive values indicate concave upward regions, while negative values indicate concave downward regions. Since d²y/dt² = 30t, the curve is concave upward for t > 0 and concave downward for t < 0.

The inflection points of the function f(x) = [tex]4x^4 + 39x^3 - 15x^2 + 6[/tex] are approximately x ≈ -0.902 and x ≈ -4.021.

To find the inflection points of the function f(x) =[tex]4x^4 + 39x^3 - 15x^2 + 6,[/tex] we need to identify the x-values at which the concavity of the function changes.

The concavity of a function changes at an inflection point, where the second derivative of the function changes sign. Thus, we will need to find the second derivative of f(x) and solve for the x-values that make it equal to zero.

First, let's find the first derivative of f(x) by differentiating each term:

f'(x) = [tex]16x^3 + 117x^2 - 30x[/tex]

Next, we find the second derivative by differentiating f'(x):

f''(x) =[tex]48x^2 + 234x - 30[/tex]

Now, we solve the equation f''(x) = 0 to find the potential inflection points:

[tex]48x^2 + 234x - 30 = 0[/tex]

We can solve this quadratic equation by factoring, completing the square, or using the quadratic formula. In this case, let's use the quadratic formula:

x = (-b ± √[tex](b^2 - 4ac[/tex])) / (2a)

Plugging in the values from the quadratic equation, we have:

x = (-234 ± √([tex]234^2 - 4 * 48 * -30[/tex])) / (2 * 48)

Simplifying this equation gives us two potential solutions for x:

x ≈ -0.902

x ≈ -4.021

These are the x-values corresponding to the potential inflection points of the function f(x).

To confirm whether these points are actual inflection points, we can examine the concavity of the function around these points. We can evaluate the sign of the second derivative f''(x) on each side of these x-values. If the sign changes from positive to negative or vice versa, the corresponding x-value is indeed an inflection point.

The security level function is the minimum expected payoff that a player would receive given a certain mixed strategy and the assumption that the other player would select his or her worst response to this strategy. In a zero-sum game, the security level function of one player is equal to the negation of the security level function of the other player. In this game, player Alice has matrix A while player Bob has matrix B which is the negative of matrix A.

In order to determine the security level function for Alice and Bob, we need to find the maximin and minimax values of their respective matrices. Here, Alice's maximin value is 3 and her minimax value is 1. On the other hand, Bob's maximin value is -3 and his minimax value is -1.

Therefore, the security level function of Alice is given by

s_A(p_B) = max(x_1 + 5x_2, 3x_1 + 10x_2)

where x_1 and x_2 are the probabilities that Bob assigns to his two pure strategies.

Similarly, the security level function of Bob is given by

s_B(p_A) = min(-x_1 - 7x_2, -x_1 - 8x_2, -4x_1 + x_2, -2x_1 - 3x_2).

A saddle point in a zero-sum game is a cell in the matrix that is both a minimum for its row and a maximum for its column. In this game, the cell (2,1) has the value 3 which is both the maximum for row 2 and the minimum for column 1. Therefore, the strategy (2,1) is a saddle point of the game. If Alice plays strategy 2 with probability 1 and Bob plays strategy 1 with probability 1, then the expected payoff for Alice is 3 and the expected payoff for Bob is -3.

Therefore, the value of the game is 3 and this is achieved at the saddle point (2,1). To show that this saddle point is a Nash equilibrium, we need to show that neither player has an incentive to deviate from this strategy. If Alice deviates from strategy 2, then she will play either strategy 1 or strategy 3. If she plays strategy 1, then Bob can play strategy 2 with probability 1 and his expected payoff will be 5 which is greater than -3. If she plays strategy 3, then Bob can play strategy 1 with probability 1 and his expected payoff will be 4 which is also greater than -3. Therefore, Alice has no incentive to deviate from strategy 2. Similarly, if Bob deviates from strategy 1, then he will play either strategy 2, strategy 3, or strategy 4. If he plays strategy 2, then Alice can play strategy 1 with probability 1 and her expected payoff will be 5 which is greater than 3. If he plays strategy 3, then Alice can play strategy 2 with probability 1 and her expected payoff will be 10 which is also greater than 3. If he plays strategy 4, then Alice can play strategy 2 with probability 1 and her expected payoff will be 10 which is greater than 3. Therefore, Bob has no incentive to deviate from strategy 1. Therefore, the saddle point (2,1) is a Nash equilibrium.

In summary, we have determined the security level function for Alice and Bob in a zero-sum game given by the matrix -3 5 3 10 A = 7 8 4 5 4 -1 2 3 for player Alice and the matrix B= -A for the player Bob. We have also determined a saddle point of the zero-sum game and showed that this saddle point is a Nash equilibrium.

first prime factorize all of these numbers:

180=2×2×3×(3)×5

189 =3×3×(3)×7

600=2×2×2×(3)×5

a. The functions f(x) = (x - 2) and g(x) = (x + 3) do not intersect or have any zeros. b. The graphs of f(x) = (x - 2) and g(x) = (x + 3) are parallel lines.         c. There are no intervals where f(x) > g(x), but g(x) > f(x) for all intervals.       d. The domain and range of both functions, f(x) and g(x), are all real numbers.

a. To find the point of intersection or zeros, we set f(x) equal to g(x) and solve for x:

f(x) = g(x)

(x - 2) = (x + 3)

Simplifying the equation, we get:

x - 2 = x + 3

-2 = 3

This equation has no solution. Therefore, the two functions do not intersect.

b. We can sketch the graphs of the two functions on the same set of axes to visualize their behavior. The function f(x) = (x - 2) is a linear function with a slope of 1 and y-intercept of -2. The function g(x) = x + 3 is also a linear function with a slope of 1 and y-intercept of 3. Since the two functions do not intersect, their graphs will be parallel lines.

c. To find the intervals for when f(x) > g(x) and g(x) > f(x), we can compare the expressions of f(x) and g(x):

f(x) = (x - 2)

g(x) = (x + 3)

To determine when f(x) > g(x), we can set up the inequality:

(x - 2) > (x + 3)

Simplifying the inequality, we get:

x - 2 > x + 3

-2 > 3

This inequality is not true for any value of x. Therefore, there is no interval where f(x) is greater than g(x).

Similarly, to find when g(x) > f(x), we set up the inequality:

(x + 3) > (x - 2)

Simplifying the inequality, we get:

x + 3 > x - 2

3 > -2

This inequality is true for all values of x. Therefore, g(x) is greater than f(x) for all intervals.

d. The domain of both functions, f(x) and g(x), is the set of all real numbers since there are no restrictions on x in the given functions. The range of f(x) is also all real numbers since the function is a straight line that extends infinitely in both directions. Similarly, the range of g(x) is all real numbers because it is also a straight line with infinite extension.

An (BUC) = A ∩ (B ∪ C) = b + c – bc, (An B)UC = U – (A ∩ B) = (a + b – x) - (a + b - x)/a(bc). The bigger set depends on the specific sizes of A, B, and C.

Given,

A: Set of student-athletes: Set of students who like to watch basketball: Set of students who have completed the  Calculus III course.

We have to describe the sets An (BUC) and (An B)UC. Then we have to find which set would be bigger. An (BUC) is the intersection of A and the union of B and C. This means that the elements of An (BUC) will be the student-athletes who like to watch basketball, have completed the Calculus III course, or both.

So, An (BUC) = A ∩ (B ∪ C)

Now, let's find (An B)UC.

(An B)UC is the complement of the intersection of A and B concerning the universal set U. This means that (An B)UC consists of all the students who are not both student-athletes and students who like to watch basketball.

So,

(An B)UC = U – (A ∩ B)

Let's now see which set is bigger. First, we need to find the size of An (BUC). This is the size of the intersection of A with the union of B and C. Let's assume that the size of A, B, and C are a, b, and c, respectively. The size of BUC will be the size of the union of B and C,

b + c – bc/a.

The size of An (BUC) will be the size of the intersection of A with the union of B and C, which is

= a(b + c – bc)/a

= b + c – bc.

The size of (An B)UC will be the size of U minus the size of the intersection of A and B. Let's assume that the size of A, B, and their intersection is a, b, and x, respectively.

The size of (An B) will be the size of A plus the size of B minus the size of their intersection, which is a + b – x. The size of (An B)UC will be the size of U minus the size of (An B), which is (a + b – x) - (a + b - x)/a(bc). So, the bigger set depends on the specific sizes of A, B, and C.

The statement P(-3/2) is invalid since n must be an integer greater than or equal to zero. As a result, our mathematical induction is complete.

For each of integers n ≥ 0, let P(n) be the statement n × 2² = n × 2^(n+2) + 2.(a)

i. Writing P(0).When n = 0, we have:

P(0) is equivalent to 0 × 2² = 0 × 2^(0+2) + 2.

This reduces to: 0 = 2, which is not true.

ii. Determining whether P(0) is true.

The answer is no.

(b) Writing P(k). For some k ≥ 0, we have:

P(k): k × 2²

= k × 2^(k+2) + 2.

(c) Writing P(k+1).

Now, we have:

P(k+1): (k+1) × 2²

= (k+1) × 2^(k+1+2) + 2.

(d) Show by mathematical induction that P(n) is true. By mathematical induction, we must now demonstrate that P(n) is accurate for all n ≥ 0.

We have previously discovered that P(0) is incorrect. As a result, we begin our mathematical induction with n = 1. Since n = 1, we have:

P(1): 1 × 2² = 1 × 2^(1+2) + 2.This becomes 4 = 4 + 2, which is valid.

Inductive step:

Assume that P(n) is accurate for some n ≥ 1 (for an arbitrary but fixed value). In this way, we want to demonstrate that P(n+1) is also true. Now we must demonstrate:

P(n+1): (n+1) × 2² = (n+1) × 2^(n+3) + 2.

We will begin with the left-hand side (LHS) to show that this is true.

LHS = (n+1) × 2² [since we are considering P(n+1)]LHS = (n+1) × 4 [since 2² = 4]

LHS = 4n+4

We will now begin on the right-hand side (RHS).

RHS = (n+1) × 2^(n+3) + 2 [since we are considering P(n+1)]

RHS = (n+1) × 8 + 2 [since 2^(n+3) = 8]

RHS = 8n+10

The equation LHS = RHS is what we want to accomplish.

LHS = RHS implies that:

4n+4 = 8n+10

Subtracting 4n from both sides, we obtain:

4 = 4n+10

Subtracting 10 from both sides, we get:

-6 = 4n

Dividing both sides by 4, we find

-3/2 = n.

The statement P(-3/2) is invalid since n must be an integer greater than or equal to zero. As a result, our mathematical induction is complete. The mathematical induction proof is complete, demonstrating that P(n) is accurate for all n ≥ 0.

Therefore, the correct option is A.

To solve the given polynomial equation, let's rearrange it to set it equal to zero:

2x³ - x² - 32x + 16 = 0

Now, we can factor out the common factors from each pair of terms:

x²(2x - 1) - 16(2x - 1) = 0

Notice that we have a common factor of (2x - 1) in both terms. We can factor it out:

(2x - 1)(x² - 16) = 0

Now, we have a product of two factors equal to zero. According to the zero-product principle, if a product of factors is equal to zero, then at least one of the factors must be zero.

Therefore, we set each factor equal to zero and solve for x:

Setting the first factor equal to zero:

2x - 1 = 0

2x = 1

x = 1/2

Setting the second factor equal to zero:

x² - 16 = 0

(x + 4)(x - 4) = 0

Setting each factor equal to zero separately:

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = -4

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

The value of x is 7/3, which can be rounded to two decimal places as approximately 2.33.

To solve the equation 2x + 8 + 4x = 22, we need to combine like terms and isolate the variable x.

Combining like terms, we have:

6x + 8 = 22

Next, we want to isolate the term with x by subtracting 8 from both sides of the equation:

6x + 8 - 8 = 22 - 8

6x = 14

To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 6:

(6x) / 6 = 14 / 6

x = 14/6

Simplifying the fraction 14/6, we get:

Answer:The intersection of two sets, denoted by the symbol "∩", represents the elements that are common to both sets.

In this case, the set M is empty, and the set N contains the elements {6, 7, 8, 9, 10}. Since there are no common elements between the two sets, the intersection of M and N, denoted as M ∩ N, will also be an empty set.

Therefore, M ∩ N = {} (an empty set).

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answers are:

- Question 8: All of these answers are correct.

- Question 9: 720.

- Question 10: Sample is used to estimate the population parameter.

- Question 11: Decreases.

- Question 12: 200 and 2.

- Question 13: Approximately normal for large sample sizes.

- Question 14: 0.9772.

Question 8: The point estimators are μ (population mean) and s (sample standard deviation). The symbol σ represents the population standard deviation, not a point estimator. Therefore, the correct answer is "All of these answers are correct."

Question 9: To determine the number of different samples of size 3 (without replacement) from a population of size 10, we use the combination formula. The formula for combinations is nCr, where n is the population size and r is the sample size. In this case, n = 10 and r = 3. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

10C3 = 10! / (3!(10-3)!) = 10! / (3!7!) = (10 x 9 x 8) / (3 x 2 x 1) = 720

Therefore, the answer is 720.

Question 10: In point estimation, the sample is used to estimate the population parameter. So, the correct answer is "sample is used to estimate the population parameter."

Question 11: As the sample size increases, the variability among the sample means decreases. This is known as the Central Limit Theorem, which states that as the sample size increases, the distribution of sample means becomes more normal and less variable.

Question 12: The mean of the distribution of sample means is equal to the mean of the population, which is 200. The standard error of the distribution of sample means is equal to the standard deviation of the population divided by the square root of the sample size. So, the standard error is 18 / √81 = 2.

Question 13: For a population with an unknown distribution, the form of the sampling distribution of the sample mean is approximately normal for large sample sizes. This is known as the Central Limit Theorem, which states that regardless of the shape of the population distribution, the distribution of sample means tends to be approximately normal for large sample sizes.

Question 14: To find the probability that the mean from a sample of 49 observations will be larger than 82, we need to calculate the z-score and find the corresponding probability using the standard normal distribution table. The formula for the z-score is (sample mean - population mean) / (population standard deviation / √sample size).

The z-score is (82 - 80) / (7 / √49) = 2 / 1 = 2.

Looking up the z-score of 2 in the standard normal distribution table, we find that the corresponding probability is 0.9772. Therefore, the probability that the mean from the sample will be larger than 82 is 0.9772.

Overall, the correct answers are:

- Question 8: All of these answers are correct.

- Question 9: 720.

- Question 10: Sample is used to estimate the population parameter.

- Question 11: Decreases.

- Question 12: 200 and 2.
