Define suitable populations from which the following samples are selected: (a) Persons in 200 homes in the city of Richmond are called on the phone and asked to name the candidate they favor for election to the school board. (b) A coin is tossed 100 times and 34 tails are recorded. (c) Two hundred pairs of a new type of tennis shoe were tested on the professional tour and, on average, lasted 4 months. (d) On five different occasions it took a lawyer 21, 26, 24, 22, and 21 minutes to drive from her suburban home to her midtown office.

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.

multiplication is multiplication.   it might feel harder depending on what level of math you are in, but generally it will be the same old stuff, while implementing some new concepts and methods of solving work.
