To attract business, a clothing store mails discount coupons to residents of a town. To estimate the proportion of the store’s shoppers who are using the coupons, the store manager selects a random sample of 100 customers who visit the store on a weekend. The manager finds that 38 of them are using the coupons mailed to their homes. Which of the following describes the sample in this setting? A) all residents of the town
B) the 38 shoppers who used coupons
C) the 100 randomly selected shoppers
D) all shoppers in the store on the weekend

C) the 100 randomly selected shoppers

Step-by-step explanation:

the answer for this question is 38

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
