The above is an estimation question. Estimation is when you judge the results obtained from a sample and make a rough calculation. The answer obtained might not be exactly right, its based on a judgement.

In this a sample was taken and out of 80 books, 6 of them were history books.
The assumption made then is that for every 80 books taken randomly , 6 of them will be history. Using this assumption ;
21 360 books in the library,
for every 80 books - 6 history books
then for 21 360 books - 6 / 80 * 21360
                                   =  1602 history books

_____ 18. The scatter plot shows the study times and test scores for a number of students. How long did the person who scored 81
Alika [10]
This is impossible to answer without the scatterplot. Look at the point where the person scored 81, from there "draw" a straight line down to the bottom line, where it should answer how long the student studied for.

∠C = 180° - 45° - 65°
∠C = 70°

b/sin B = c/sin C
b/sin 65° = c/sin 70°
b = c/sin 70° × sin 65°
b = 20/0.9397 × 0.9063
b = 19.289
b = 19.3
