A research group is on a college campus and is conducting a survey regarding the coffee consumption of college students in America. They randomly select three sample groups of 100 registered students to complete their survey, which asks the students to identify the average number of 8-ounce cups of coffee they consume each day. The results of the three sample groups are shown in the table below. 0 1 2 3 4+
Sample #1 38 19 26 16 1
Sample #2 32 14 37 15 2
Sample #3 41 22 31 6 0

One researcher looked at the results and made the following inference: "More college students don't drink coffee than do." Is this a valid conclusion? Explain your reasoning using complete sentences. Compare how many coffee drinkers there are to how many non-coffee drinkers.

aloha~! my name is zalgo and i am here to you out on this gracious day. in order to compare the ratios easily, it is best that we simplify the question first. so, the cougars would have 6 wins for 5 losses, bobcats make 2 wins for 1 loss. bulldogs and tigers have a ratio where you can't simplify it. so, the team with the lowest rate would be the bobcats.

i hope that this ! : d

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.

d. all of the above
