An online polling site posed this question: "How much stock do you put in long-range weather forecasts?" Among its Web site users, 38, 528 chose to respond Complete parts (a) through (c) below. a. Among the responses received, 3% answered with "a lot". What is the actual number of responses consisting of "a lot"?
b. Among the responses received, 18, 566 consisted of "very little or none". What percentage of responses consisted of "very little or none"?
c. Because the sample size of 38, 528 is so large, can we conclude that about 3% of the general population puts "a lot" of stock in long-range weather forecasts? Why or why not?
A. No, because the sample is a voluntary response sample, so the sample is not likely to be representative of the population.
B. Yes, because the sample is so large, the margin of error is negligible.
C. No, because even though the sample size is so large, there is still a margin of error.
D. Yes, because the sample size is large enough so that the sample is representative of the population.

(a) 1155.84

(b) 48.2%

(c) D

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of total responses is, N = 38,528.

(a)

It is provided that 3% answered with "a lot".

Compute the actual number of responses consisting of "a lot" as follows:

n (a lot) = N × P (a lot)

            = 38528 × 0.03

            = 1155.84

Thus, the actual number of responses consisting of "a lot" is 1155.84.

(b)

The number of responses consisting of "very little or none" is,

n (very little or none) = 18,566

Compute the percentage of responses consisted of "very little or none" as follows:

The percentage is: 0.482 × 100% = 48.2%.

Thus, the percentage of responses consisted of "very little or none" is 48.2%.

(c)

As the sample size increases the sample statistic value gets closer and closer to the actual population parameter value.

Thus, making the sample statistic an unbiased estimator of the population parameter.

And proving that the sample is a true representative of the population.

Thus, the correct option is (D).

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.

which would be true for stem changing verbs?

they have a consistent spelling change in the stem of the verb.

what is different about the verb “venir” as compared to other stem-changing verbs?

only the third person forms have a stem change.
