Rebecca collected data from a random sample of 1200 homeowners in her state asking whether or not they use electric heat. based on the results, she reports that 50% of the homeowners in the nation use electric heat. why is this statistic misleading? a. the sample size is insufficient. b. the statistic contains a calculation error. c. the sample is biased. d. the data contains an outlier.

Hi,

The answer is c. The sample is biased.

This is because the sample is taken on a single state, an Rebecca reports a statistic about the nation. Her data contains information only of her state. If she lives in a very cold state, there is probably more homeowners using electric heat than in a hot state.

a, b, c, d are correct.

step-by-step explanation:

we have g(x) = 3 and are required to find which option is a translation of g(x).

now, 'translation' is a transformation which means to shift the function in any direction and the general form of translation is g(x) + k, where k is any real number.

so, according to the options we see that all are correct as they satisfy the general form of translation.

also, it can be seen from the graph below that the function g(x) = 3 is shifted from its position in all the four options.
