More than 75% of Americans answer yes when asked, "Do you favor cracking down against illegal gun sales?" but more than 75% say no when asked, "Would you favor a law giving police the power to decide who may own a firearm?"
a. Which statistic would someone who opposes gun control prefer to quote?
b. Explain what is wrong with the wording of each of these statements.
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the case "Gun control"
(a). The second option,
"Would you favor a law giving police the power to decide who may own a firearm?"
is more favourable question to be asked for someone who opposes gun control.
Because it is expected that most americans would answer that they opposes that giving the police so much power and would likely to oppose Gun Control.
(b). How a Survey question is worded affects the result. Advocates who can afford to sponsor their own surveys can shape the result to try to demostrate support for their position.
Gun Control advocates may phrase a question
"Do you favour cracking down against illegal gun sales?"
While gun control opposition would ask
"Would you favour or oppose alaw giving the police the power to decide who may or may not own a firearm?"
Both question could result in both side of the issue appearing to having the majority of the people supporting their position. In this example a public opinion seems to divide into minorities at the 2 extremes, some favoring a ban on all guns others oppose any Gun COntrol. and a large middle mass that, presumably, favours keeping guns out of the hands of "Bad" people while letting "Good" people have guns.
The complexity of public opinion can be hard to recognize when our information comes from surveys sponsored by advocates who word questions to produce the results they desire.

The manager of a grocery store has selected a random sample of 100 customers. The average length of time it took these 100 customers to check out was 3.0 minutes. It is known that the standard deviation of the checkout time is 1 minute. Refer to Exhibit 8-2. If the confidence coefficient is reduced to .80, the standard error of the mean _____.
Answers
Answer:
The standard error of the mean remains unchanged.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
The standard error (S.E) of the mean \(= \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\) with is independent of confidence coefficient.
The margin of error \(E = z \times S.E\)
This explains the claim that as the confidence coefficient reduces, the z-value also reduces, so as the Margin of error (E) but the standard error will always remain unchanged.
i.e.
From the question;
sample size n = 100
standard deviation = 1
mean = 3.0
The standard error (S.E) of the mean \(= \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{100}}\)
= 0.1
So, if the confidence coefficient is reduced to 0.80, the standard error of the mean remains unchanged.

Suppose that a household's monthly water bill (in dollars) is a linear function of the amount of water the household uses (in hundreds of cubic feet, HCF). When graphed, the function gives a line with a slope of 1.45. See the figure below.
If the monthly cost for 13 HCF is $46.33, what is the monthly cost for 17 HCF?
Answers
The monthly cost for 17 hundred of cubic feet is $52.13.
What is a linear equation?A linear equation is in the form:
y = mx + b
Where y,x are variables, m is the rate of change and b is the initial value of y.
Let y represent the bill paid for x HCF of water.
The slope is 1.45, hence m = 1.45.
The monthly cost for 13 HCF is $46.33, hence:
46.33 = 1.45(13) + b
b = 27.48
y = 1.45x + 27.48
For 17 HCF:
y = 1.45(17) + 27.48 = 52.13
The monthly cost for 17 hundred of cubic feet is $52.13.

If the car had not crashed into the fence, it would have skidded approximately another _____ before it came to a complete stop. (2 points)
Answers
The car would have skidded a further 625 metres of distance before coming to a complete halt if it hadn't slammed into the fence.
What is distance?How far apart objects or points are from one another is expressed numerically as distance. It is a scalar value that counts the distance travelled by an object between two places. There are numerous ways to measure distance, including in metres, kilometres, feet, miles, etc. For calculating other numbers, like speed or velocity, in physics, distance and time are frequently combined.
For instance, dividing the distance an object has gone by the amount of time it took to cover that distance can be used to determine its speed. The spatial relationships between objects or points are described using distance in many different disciplines, such as geography, navigation, and astronomy.
given:
We must know the car's initial speed as well as its deceleration in order to respond to this question (rate of slowing down).
With that knowledge in hand, we can apply the method below to determine how far the car would have skidded before coming to a complete stop:
distance = (v²) / (2a)
When the car's initial speed (v) and deceleration (a) are both given.
For instance, we could figure out how far the car skidded if its initial speed was 50 km/h and the deceleration was 5 m/s².
distance is equal to (50 km/h) / (2 * 5 m/s)
around 625 metres.
The car would have skidded a further 625 metres before coming to a complete halt if it hadn't slammed into the fence.

C. 15.1581
D. Could be any Value.
Answers
The mean of the population is 14, which is the point estimate of the population mean that was determined from the simple random sample.
The mean of the population is a measure of the central tendency of the population. It is calculated by taking the sum of all the values in the population and dividing by the total number of values. In this case, the mean of the population would be calculated by adding the values of the sample (13, 15, 14, 16, 12) and dividing by the total number of values (5). The mean of the population is then 14 (13 + 15 + 14 + 16 + 12 / 5 = 14).
To calculate the mean of the population, we first need to calculate the sum of all the values in the population. This is done by adding the values of the sample together (13 + 15 + 14 + 16 + 12 = 70). We then divide the sum of the values by the total number of values in the population (70 / 5 = 14). This gives us the mean of the population, which is 14.

Answers
Given statement solution is :- None of the given options (a, b, c, or d) match the meaning of the slope. The correct interpretation is that the car travels approximately 0.8 miles every minute.
To determine the meaning of the slope of the linear model for the given data, let's analyze the information provided. The table represents the distance traveled by a car at different time intervals.
Minutes | Distance Traveled (in miles)
50 | 20
20 | f
40 | 60
100 | a
125 | 80
100 | 100
To find the slope of the linear model, we need to calculate the change in distance divided by the change in time. Let's consider the intervals where the time changes by a fixed amount:
Between 50 minutes and 20 minutes: The distance changes from 20 miles to 'f' miles. We don't have the exact value of 'f', so we can't calculate the slope for this interval.
Between 20 minutes and 40 minutes: The distance changes from 'f' miles to 60 miles. Again, without knowing the value of 'f', we can't calculate the slope for this interval.
Between 40 minutes and 100 minutes: The distance changes from 60 miles to 'a' miles. We don't have the exact value of 'a', so we can't calculate the slope for this interval.
Between 100 minutes and 125 minutes: The distance changes from 'a' miles to 80 miles. Since we still don't have the exact value of 'a', we can't calculate the slope for this interval.
Between 125 minutes and 100 minutes: The distance changes from 80 miles to 100 miles. The time interval is 25 minutes, and the distance change is 100 - 80 = 20 miles.
Therefore, based on the given data, we can conclude that the car travels 20 miles in 25 minutes. To determine the meaning of the slope, we divide the distance change by the time change:
Slope = Distance Change / Time Change
= 20 miles / 25 minutes
= 0.8 miles per minute
So, none of the given options (a, b, c, or d) match the meaning of the slope. The correct interpretation is that the car travels approximately 0.8 miles every minute.

Answers
The correct answer is C) 9.9 lbs as it is above the upper boundary 6.4865, it is the outlier in this dataset.
What is an outlier?An outlier is an observation that is much higher or lower than the other observations in a dataset.
In this case, the weights of the catfish range from 2.7 to 4.8 lbs, with one observation that is much higher at 9.9 lbs.
Therefore, 9.9 lbs is the outlier in this dataset.
To find the outlier in this dataset, we can calculate the interquartile range (IQR).
This is done by first calculating the first quartile (Q1) and third quartile (Q3).
The Q1 for this dataset =3.75
and the Q3= 4.675.
IQR= Q3 - Q1
= 0.925.
We then calculate the lower boundary as Q1 - (1.5 x IQR) = 2.3625.
The upper boundary is Q3 + (1.5 x IQR)= 6.4865.
Since 9.9 lbs is above this upper boundary, it is the outlier in this dataset.
