Jason is the captain of his basketball. The list below shows how many points Jason scores in each of the first 10 games of the season. Would the results show a sample or a population? Since it was his first 10 games, it doesn’t represent all of the games so I thought it would be sample but many are saying it’s population

Sample but the power of a study is its ability to detect an effect when there is one to be detected. ... A sample size that is too small increases the likelihood of a Type II error skewing the results, which decreases the power of the study.

Within accompaniment order to be a population then it would need to be justifiable to be comparable to a larger cross section same teams different players that could be at the end of the season, and a population that shows cross section of change, such as the inevitable and include distractions that occur in sports as season starts and progresses till end. Examples of this would include ie) playing with man down etc. or against a team with man down or during penalties etc..

It only becomes a population when it defines all home games only being used as a population as this would show less distraction for each team. Which would be unlikely event in first 10 games, just like it would be unfair to not show the differences for away games within a population.

The higher proportion showing the whole season, thereafter would show population as things change too fast in seasonal events.

step-by-step explanation:

(b) 240

step-by-step explanation:

first, we use the pythagorean formula using the given side lengths to find x. then we use x to find the side lengths. then we add the side lengths to find the perimeter.

pythagorean theorem formula:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(x - 20)^2 + (x - 40)^2 = x^2

x^2 - 40x + 400 + x^2 - 80x + 1600 = x^2

x^2 -120x + 2000 = 0

(x - 100)(x - 20) = 0

x - 100 = 0 or x - 20 = 0

x = 100 or x = 20

we see that the solution x = 20 must be discarded because it will give a negative side length and a side length of 0. the only valid solution is x = 100.

perimeter = sum of the lengths of the sides

perimeter = x + x - 20 + x - 40

perimeter = 3x - 60

replace x with 100.

perimeter = 3(100) - 60

perimeter = 300 - 60

perimeter = 240
