Short Answer

MULTIPLE CHOICE On a multiple-choice test with four choices, Zack answered 12 out of 20 questions correctly. What could be used to simulate his correctly answering a question. What could be used to simulate his correctly answering a question?
$A$ tossing a coin
$B$ rolling a six-sided number cube
$C$ spinning a spinner with four equal sections
$D$ rolling a three-sided number cube

To simulate Zack’s correctly answering a question, spinning a spinner with four equal sections is used.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Step 1. Identify sample.

A sample is some portion of a large group. Here, the sample is a one choice.

Step 2. Suggest population.

Population is a larger part, of which sample is some portion. Here, population is four choices.

Step 3. Data collection.

Here, the data are from the choice on the spinner. Therefore, it is an observational study.

To simulate Zack’s correctly answering a question, spinning a spinner with four equal sections is used. Therefore, option C is the required answer.

When air is pumped into a ball, the pressure required can be computed by using the formula $P = \frac{3412 .94}{\frac{4 π r^{3}}{3}}$ , where P represents the pressure in pound per square inch (psi), and r is the radius of the ball in inches.

a. Simplify the complex fraction.

b. Suppose the air pressure inside the ball is 8 psi. Approximate the radius of the ball to the nearest hundredth.
