If the results of the survey were claimed to indicate that of adults in this country who own digital cameras plan to replace their camera in the next 12 months, would you say this statement is descriptive or inferential? why?

Inferential.

It is inferential because the survey takes its conclusion(inference) from a sample of the country's population and generalized it on the entire population.

If the results of a survey were claimed to indicate that 7.8% of adults in this country who own digital cameras plan to replace their cameras in the next 12 months. would you say this statement is descriptive or inferential, why?

Step-by-step explanation:

It is inferential because the survey takes its conclusion(inference) from a sample of the country's population and generalized it on the entire population. this claim requires an inference to the population. For example, you might stand in a mall and ask a sample of 200 people if they like shopping at ShopRite. You could make a bar chart of yes or no answers (that would be descriptive statistics) or you could use your research (and inferential statistics) to reason that around 50-75% of the population (all shoppers in malls) like shopping at ShopRite.

system of linear equation

step-by-step explanation:

as given in the data

a= 20 , b= -12

let us suppose that it is a straight line equation

now we know the formula for the system of linear equation

b= ma + c )

here m is slope of a straight line which is equal to formula

m=   (ii)

and here c is a constant

now putting the value of a and b in equation (ii)

m=

m=

putting the value of a,b and m in equation (i) gives us

-12 = + c

-12=-12 + c

adding 12 to both sides

-12 +12 = -12 +12 +c

0 =c

or c=0

as the value of the constant is zero which gives us that it is a linear equation and this order pair satisfies the system of linear equations.
