An airline company advertises that 100% of their flights are on time after checking 5 flights from yesterday and finding that these 5 were on time a) What is population of interest? b) What is the sample? c) Was this a representative sample? Explain. d) How should the company determine the percentage of their flights that are on time?

a) The population is all of the flights belonging to the particular airline. It's not all flights in general because the airline does not have control over a rival company's flight schedule.

b) The sample is the 5 airlines the company selected. Ideally the sample should represent the population as much as possible. The larger the sample, the more representative the sample is.

c) No, the sample is likely not representative because one day of flight does not represent the entire lifetime of all flights done so far for that company. This particular day could have been a very good day with good weather, which may explain why the 5 flights were all on time.

d) It would be better for the company to select the days at random and sample all of the flights for those particular days chosen. This is a cluster sample. Each cluster is a day. Also, I think more flights should be sampled. Five flights does not seem like enough.

the answer would be 484

step-by-step explanation:

just multiply 0.484 times 1,000 (formula)

2.2°  

step-by-step explanation:

let θ = the angle of elevation.

tanθ =77/2020

tanθ = 0.038 12

      θ = tan⁻¹0.038 12

      θ = 2.2°
