Decide if this sampling method is biased and explain. Ms. Beal wants to know if student's in college like math. She hands out 40 surveys to students who are in her classes. 97% like math.
What is Biased. Ms. Beal is in all math classes so people probably like math.

What is 8 and 5
300
What two things does a graph need to look like in order to be a direct variation?
What is 1) be a straight line 2) go through the origin
300
Tell whether the graph on slide 1 is constant or variable. If constant, find the slope.
What is constant. slope=2
300
What is the rise over the run of a straight line?
What is slope

A mathematician took a random sample of 50 triangles and found that 3 of them were right triangles. He then estimates that 270 out of his 2,500 triangles are right triangles. Do you agree?
What is No. 3/50=0.06 270/2,500=0.108
400
What is the median AND the range of the data? 7, 2, 3, 4, 9, 11, 1, 3, 5?
What is median= 4 and range = 10
400
Tell whether the table on graph 4 is direct variation. If so, write the direct variation equation.
What is Yes. y=1/7x
400
What is the slope of the graph on slide 3?
What is -1/2

Ms. Beal drove 35 miles from home to pick up Ms. Pugh. They then drove 5 miles to Caribou and got coffee. After coffee, they drove another 1 mile to school. Draw a graph to show their distance from Ms. Beal's home compared to time. How many miles did Ms. Beal drive?
What is 41 miles.
