Survey Sample Expansion Inequality 55Ad18
1. The problem asks why asking the first 10 students on the register may not produce a good sample for Jamil's survey.
2. Reason 1: The sample is not random because it only includes the first 10 students on the register, which may not represent the entire class or school.
3. Reason 2: The sample size is small and limited to one class, so it may not reflect the diversity of homework habits across all students.
4. Next problem: Expand and simplify $(x + 4)(x + 8)$.
5. Use the distributive property (FOIL method):
$$ (x + 4)(x + 8) = x \times x + x \times 8 + 4 \times x + 4 \times 8 $$
6. Calculate each term:
$$ x^2 + 8x + 4x + 32 $$
7. Combine like terms:
$$ x^2 + 12x + 32 $$
8. Next problem: Solve the inequality $2 < 5x - 3 \leq 17$.
9. Add 3 to all parts:
$$ 2 + 3 < 5x - 3 + 3 \leq 17 + 3 $$
$$ 5 < 5x \leq 20 $$
10. Divide all parts by 5:
$$ \frac{5}{5} < x \leq \frac{20}{5} $$
$$ 1 < x \leq 4 $$
Final answers:
- Expanded expression: $x^2 + 12x + 32$
- Solution to inequality: $1 < x \leq 4$
