On January 2, 2008, the American Idol website (www .americanidol) conducted an online poll that asked respondents which contestant they liked best among six former contestants. To become part of the sample, respondents simply clicked on a response. Of the 941,434 responses to this poll, 55% voted for Clay Aiken. We can conclude that _________________________________ .
a. the sample is too small.
b. a fraction of the millions of people who watched the TV show to draw any conclusion.
c. most Americans prefer Clay Aiken out of those former contestants.
d. the poll uses voluntary response, so the results tell us little about the population of all adults.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Online Poll

We can conclude that

c. most Americans prefer Clay Aiken out of those former contestants.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample responses received from the poll = 941,434

Proportion of voters for Clay Aiken = 55%

Computed proportion of voters for the other 5 contestants = 45% (100% - 55%)

This gives an average of 7.5% (45%/5) for the other 5 contestants.

Therefore, the conclusion is that "most Americans prefer Clay Aiken out of those former contestants" in the American Idol contest.

A capark has 34 rows and each row can acommodate 40 cars. If there are 976 cars parked, how many cars can still be parked?​

Answers

Answer:

384 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total number of spaces in the carpark, we must multiply the number of rows by how many cars they can accommodate:

34 ⋅ 40 = 1360

As you can see, we have 1360 total spaces. Since there are 976 cars parked, and we want to find out how many spaces are left, we have to subtract the amount of cars parked from the total spaces.

1360 - 976 = 384

Therefore, our answer is 384, specifically, 384 cars.

Answer:

384 cars.

Step-by-step explanation:

40 * 34 - 976

= 1360 - 976

= 384.

One angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the remaining angles. If the ratio of measures of the ren
is 2:1, find the measures of the three angles of the triangle.

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  90°, 60°, 30°

Step-by-step explanation:

The remaining angles have a ratio of 2:1, so total 3 "ratio units". The first angle is equal to that sum: 3 ratio units, so all of the angles together total 3+2+1 = 6 ratio units. The total of angles is 180°, so each ratio unit is 180°/6 = 30°.

The first angle is 3 ratio units, or 90°.

The second angle is 2 ratio units, or 60°.

The third angle is half that, or 30°.

The three angles are 90°, 60°, 30°.

Answers

Answer:

y=2x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

By using two-points form:

y-y1/y2-y1=x-x1/x2-x1

p(x1,y1)=(4,3)

p(x2,y2)=(2,-1)

Subtitute points in formula:

y-3/-1-3=x-4/2-4

y-3/-4=x-4/-2

y-3/-2=x-4/-1

1(y-3)=2(x-4)

y-3=2x-8

y=2x-8+3

y=2x-5

explanation:

first choose the common factor by observation, it is (x + 1):

factorise it out:

= (x + 1)(4x² - 6x)

by observation in (4x² - 6x), common factor is 2x.

Factorise 2x out:

Chapter 11 part 2:

What are three different properties of logarithmic functions when encountering the operations of addition, subtraction, and multiplication? Provide an example of each.

Answers

The three main log rules you'll encounter are

log(A*B) = log(A) + log(B)log(A/B) = log(A) - log(B)log(A^B) = B*log(A)

The first rule allows us to go from a log of some product, to a sum of two logs. In short, we go from product to sum. The second rule allows us to go from a quotient to a difference. Lastly, the third rule allows to go from an exponential to a product.

Here are examples of each rule being used (in the exact order they were given earlier).

log(2*3) = log(2) + log(3)log(5/8) = log(5) - log(8)log(7^4) = 4*log(7)

----------------

Here's a slightly more complicated example where the log rules are used.

log(x^2y/z)

log(x^2y) - log(z)

log(x^2) + log(y) - log(z)

2*log(x) + log(y) - log(z)

Hopefully you can see which rules are being used for any given step. If not, then let me know and I'll go into more detail.
