The local news is conducting a poll of the residents’ opinions regarding a new traffic law that is being proposed. At the end of

a news segment, viewers had the opportunity to dial in or use social media to choose whether they agree or disagree with the law. A large sample size was represented, and this poll was repeated again one week later with similar results. When working with this data, which of the following statements best applies?
a. The surveys are biased because people chose to respond or not.
b. Because of the large sample size, the results are most accurate of all members of the community.
c. The same sampling methods were used for both polls, demonstrating reliability.

Answer:

Option A is accurate.

The responses to the surveys are skewed since individuals decide whether or not to participate.

Step-by-step explanation:

When given the choice to take part in a survey like this one, it’s common for biases to arise.

This occurs because typically, only those who feel very passionate about the poll's topic will engage in it. This results in a bias favoring the group that opposes the matter, as they are more likely to voice their dissatisfaction when given the chance.

Dissatisfaction is often expressed more clearly and intensely by individuals.

To eliminate this bias, respondents should have been randomly selected to gather their reactions.

The other two choices are incorrect, here's why.

b. The large sample size guarantees accurate results for all community members.

As previously mentioned, the sample group is flawed and biased as it tends to highlight a population segment opposed to the law. Thus, regardless of the sample size, this bias renders the poll untrustworthy.

c. Both surveys used identical sampling techniques, indicating reliability.

The biased sampling method suggests that repeating it for both polls wouldn’t result in a true reflection of the general sentiment toward the new traffic law.

Hope this helps!!!

It takes 45 minutes to drive to the nearest bowling alley taking city streets going
tester [10823]
21 minutes. Step-by-step explanation: Considering the following: Using CITY STREET: The duration to drive to the nearest bowling alley is 45 minutes, which is 0.75 hours. The travel speed is 30 miles per hour. Switching to FREEWAY: the travel speed here is 65 miles per hour. Assuming both routes cover the same distance, the time required on the FREEWAY will be as follows: The distance calculated using the city route results in 30 mph = distance / 0.75 hour, giving a distance of 22.5 miles. As the distance remains consistent: Time taken on the FREEWAY = distance / speed, which results in 22.5 / 65 = 0.3461538 hours. Converting to minutes = 0.3461538 × 60, which rounds to approximately 21 minutes.

an element with mass 430 grams decays by 27.4% per minute. How much of the element is remaining after 19 minutes, to the nearest
Leona [11201]

Answer:

1.0 gram (rounded from.98)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an exponential equation represented as a*b^x, where a denotes the initial quantity and b represents the rate of decay (or growth). The initial amount a is straightforward, being 430, but for b, ensure it's expressed in decimal form. To convert the percentage (like 27.4%) to decimal, simply move the decimal point two places to the left, yielding.274.

Next, with the equation 430*.274^x, we can apply the value of x as 19.

Also, be aware that if different units are involved, like if t represented a decay over 19 hours, those would need to be converted as well. I'm here to help if you require further clarification.
