Alejandro wants to determine the average shoe size of all of the male students in his school. which sample is likely to yield the most biased results?

a. every tenth boy on the school’s phone list
c. every member of the boys’ basketball team
b. every boy in a randomly selected ninth-, tenth-, eleventh-, and twelfth-grade gym class
d. every fifth boy who walks through the front doors of the school in the morning

unless you made a typo, the answers are both a and c.

step-by-step explanation:

1.5/3 is .5 whereas 3/9 is .3333333 not proportional

22/33 is .66666 and 4/6 is also .66666 proportional

2/4 is .5 whereas 142/213 is .66666 not proportional

14/7 is 2 and 7/3.5 is also 2 proportional

you could've also checked it by doing this simple division:

if the larger fraction divides with the smaller fraction to equal 1, it is proportional. so let me show you what i mean:

when i divide 22/33 by 4/6 i get 1, so we know it is proportional, and it is the same with 14/7 and 7/3.5. now if i divide 3/9 by 1.5/3 i get .66666 so therefore we know it is not proportional.

there are many ways to do this so i wanted to show you some possible ways.

answer: our required factorization will be

(3x+4)(x²-5)

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

now, we will write it as :

so, we get

5(3x+4)

similarly,

here, we get,

2(3x+4)

together it becomes,

hence, our required factorization will be

(3x+4)(x²-5)
