We cannot conclude anything about who rated peanut butter the worst from the given information. (Option B is irrelevant.)
We cannot make a conclusive statement about the variation in ratings between girls and boys. (Option C is unsupported.)
We can conclude that at least half of the boys (i.e. more than half, based on the given mean and range) rated peanut butter a 9 or 10. (Option D is true.)

C On average, first period did better than third period.On average, first period did better than third period.
D The lowest score was in third period.
We cannot conclusively compare the performance of the two periods based on just the median and range. (Option C is unsupported.)
We also cannot determine which period had the lowest score based on the given information. (Option D is false.)
Therefore, the correct option is B: There is not enough information to know if any of these is true.

At your high school, you randomly surveyed male students to find that they play video games a certain amount of hours per week. What is the estimated population mean based on your sample?
Responses
A 7 hours7 hours
B 2.5 hours2.5 hours
C 6 hours6 hours
D 5 hours5 hours
E 3 hours
Sum of hours played = 4.5 + 6.25 + 3 + 2.5 + 7 + 6.75 = 30
Estimated population mean = Sum of hours played / Number of students = 30 / 6 = 5 hours
Therefore, the correct option is D: 5 hours.

C On average, the middle school boys are taller.On average, the middle school boys are taller.
D The group of middle school boys has the tallest boy
The range of the middle school boys is 169 cm - 164 cm = 5 cm.
The range of the high school boys is 183 cm - 175 cm = 8 cm.
Therefore, we can conclude that the high school boys vary in height more than the middle school boys.
The statement that BEST compares the two groups of boys is A: The high school boys vary in height more than the middle school boys.

Let P be the number of lizards in the population.
In the first sample, we marked and released 36 lizards, so the proportion of marked lizards in the population is 36/P.
In the second sample, we caught 200 lizards, of which 16 were marked. So, the proportion of marked lizards in the population is 16/200 = 0.08.
Equating the two proportions, we get:
36/P = 0.08
Multiplying both sides by P, we get:
36 = 0.08 * P
Dividing both sides by 0.08, we get:
P = 450
So the best estimate for the lizard population is 450.
Therefore, the correct option is B: 450.

Let P be the number of elk in the population.
In the first sample, we marked 75 elk, so the proportion of marked elk in the population is 75/P.
In the second sample, we counted 250 elk, of which 15 were marked. So, the proportion of marked elk in the population is 15/250 = 0.06.
Equating the two proportions, we get:
75/P = 0.06
Multiplying both sides by P, we get:
75 = 0.06 * P
Dividing both sides by 0.06, we get:
P = 1,250
So the best estimate for the elk population is 1,250.
Therefore, the correct option is C: 1,250.

D The population is all the customers of the restaurant; the sample is the 50 customers selected.
The population in this situation would be all the customers of the restaurant, as the owner wants to know what additional menu options would sell best to all customers.
The sample in this situation is the 50 customers that were selected randomly and surveyed for their preferred menu options.
Therefore, the correct option is D: The population is all the customers of the restaurant; the sample is the 50 customers selected.

D weight of recycled cans
Based on this definition, the qualitative variable among the given options is B: breeds of dogs. Breeds of dogs are a categorical variable describing the type or classification of a dog and do not have any numerical value or order.
The other options are all quantitative variables, as they describe a quantity (gallons of water, cups of coffee, weight of recycled cans) and have a numerical value.
10 - 8 = 2
Then we evaluate the expression inside the next set of parentheses:
(−4) = -4
Next, we multiply 2 by -4:
2 x (-4) = -8.
Now we can use the result of the innermost parentheses to evaluate the entire set of parentheses:
4 - 2(-8) = 4 + 16 = 20.
Therefore, the expression 4 − 2(10 − 8)(−4) equals 20.
2 + 2[20 − 4(4 + 2)] is what
3 + 2(1 + 8) is what
1. 2 − 1[13 − (1 + 6)]
= 2 - 1[13 - 7]
= 2 - 1[6]
= 2 - 6
= -4
2. 2 + 2[20 − 4(4 + 2)]
= 2 + 2[20 - 4(6)]
= 2 + 2[20 - 24]
= 2 + 2[-4]
= 2 - 8
= -6
3. 3 + 2(1 + 8)
= 3 + 2[9]
= 3 + 18
= 21
Therefore, the first expression equals -4, the second expression equals -6, and the third expression equals 21.
-5x + 20 < 5
Subtracting 20 from both sides, we get:
-5x < 5 - 20
Simplifying the right-hand side, we get:
-5x < -15
Dividing both sides by -5 but note that dividing by a negative number requires flipping the inequality:
(-5x) / (-5) > (-15) / (-5)
x > 3
Therefore, the solution for the inequality -5x + 20 < 5 is x > 3.
-5x + 20 < 5
-5x + 20 < 5
Subtracting 20 from both sides, we get:
-5x < 5 - 20
Simplifying the right-hand side, we get:
-5x < -15
Dividing both sides by -5 but note that dividing by a negative number requires flipping the inequality:
(-5x) / (-5) > (-15) / (-5)
x > 3
Therefore, the solution for the inequality -5x + 20 < 5 is x > 3.

B Store 2 by $0.80 an ounce.Store 2 by $0.80 an ounce.
C Store 2 by $0.06 an ounce.Store 2 by $0.06 an ounce.
D Store 1 by $0.06 an ounce.
At Store 1, the price per ounce is:
26.62 / 36 = 0.7394 dollars per ounce (rounded to four decimal places)
At Store 2, the price per ounce is:
22.42 / 28 = 0.8007 dollars per ounce (rounded to four decimal places)
Comparing the two prices, we see that Store 1 offers a better deal at $0.7394 per ounce as compared to Store 2 which offers baby formula at a price of $0.8007 per ounce.
To determine the difference between the two prices, we subtract the price at Store 1 from the price at Store 2:
0.8007 - 0.7394 = 0.0613
Therefore, Store 1 is a better buy by $0.06 per ounce.
The correct option is D: Store 1 by $0.06 an ounce.
