To cross the Bay Bridge in San Francisco, the magic number of riders in a vehicle is three. This allows the car to utilize the carpool lane, thus avoiding clogged freeways and backup at the bridge's tollbooths.

Casual Carpool, a decades-old hitchhiking system, is outdoing Uber, Lyft, and Waze.

According to a transit study concerning people that use Casual Carpool, more than 6,000 people use the system per day.

The median wait time for riders at a Casual Carpool stop is 2 1 2 minutes.

Describe the population and sample for this study scenario.

Voters commonly condemn politicians for being insincere, but politicians often must disguise their true feelings when they make public statements. if they expressed their honest views—about, say, their party's policies—then achieving politically necessary compromises would be much more difficult. clearly, the very insincerity that people decry shows that our government is functioning well. which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines this reasoning? (a) achieving political compromises is not all that is necessary for the proper functioning of a government. (b) some political compromises are not in the best long-term interest of the government. (c) voters often judge politicians by criteria other than the sincerity with which they express their views. (d) a political party's policies could turn out to be detrimental to the functioning of a government. (e) some of the public statements made by politicians about their party's policies could in fact be sincere.
