Reba wants to examine the TV-viewing habits of 18- to 25-year-old males in the United States. As it is quite impossible to include all males of this age group in her study, she selects a smaller group of 18- to 25-year old males to survey. The males included in her study are called a(n)

Sample

Step-by-step explanation:

A sample refers to a small subset of a particular population of study. The sample must be chos n at random in other to ensure that it is representative of the entire population. In the scenario above, all males in the United States aged 18 - 25 years form the population of interest required for the study. However, due to the fact that it is impractical to include all in the study, then a smaller subset is selected form the population, which is referred to as the sample.

if x decreases by 4 then y increases by 10

step-by-step explanation:

a 4/6 = 9/12   not proportional

step-by-step explanation:

to find which are not proportional, we can use cross products

if it is true, they are proportional.   if it is not true, they are not proportional.

a 4/6 = 9/12

4* 12 = 6*9

48 = 54

not this is not proportional  

b 2/3 = 12/18  

2* 18 = 3 * 12

36 = 36

this is proportional

c 5/4 = 10/8  

5*8 = 4*10

40 = 40

this is proportional

d 7/5 = 35/25

7*25 = 5 * 35

175 = 175

is proportional
