A student would like to know what proportion of the text messages she sends are to her best friend. She selects a random sample of 50 text messages she sent and determines the proportion of those messages that are sent to her best friend. Which of the following statements is true? The population is all of her friends and the sample is the best friend about whom she is performing this study. The population is the best friend about whom she is performing this study and the sample is all of her friends. The population is the 50 text messages she randomly selected and the sample is all text messages she sent. The population is all text messages she sent and the sample is the 50 text messages she randomly selected.

The population is the 50 text messages she randomly selected and the sample is all text messages she sent.

Step-by-step explanation: You can rule out the first two because the population is everyone who received one of these random text messages. The reason that I chose the 3rd one is because she sent exactly 50 messages and that would be the population.

18.8 cubic inches.

step-by-step explanation:

volume of a cone = πr²h

r = 1.5 inches

h = 8 inches

pi = 3.14

volume of our cone = × 3.14 × 1.5² × 8 = 18.84 square inches

or equals to 18.8 square inches rounded up to nearest tenth.

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
