The meaning of the constant is the average temperature at the equator statement (A) is correct.

A mathematical notion called the line of the best fit connects points spread throughout a graph. It's a type of linear regression that uses scatter data to figure out the best way to define the dots' relationship.

We have a line of best fit for the data:

y = 90 - z

Here, x is measured in degrees of latitude and y is measured in degrees of Fahrenheit.

When z = 0

y = 90

Which shows the average temperature at the equator.

Thus, the meaning of the constant is the average temperature at the equator statement (A) is correct.

14. Team 8A is selling snacks at the football game to raise money for a field trip. They are selling popcorn for $2.50 and pretz

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

40 popcorns and 90 pretzels sold.

============

Let the number of popcorns is x and pretzels is y.

Set up equations:

x + y = 130
2.5x + 2y = 280

Solve by elimination, multiply the first equation by 2 and subtract from the second equation:

2.5x + 2y - 2x - 2y = 280 - 2*130
0.5x = 280 - 260
0.5x = 20
x = 20/0.5
x = 40

Find y:

40 + y = 130
y = 130 - 40
y = 90

-8x + 12 = h(2x-3) ldk this question

Alinara [238K]

The answer would be -4 because if you do -4 times 2x then you would get -8x. Then if you did -4 times -3 you would get 12. (A negative times a negative equals a positive)

15. Suppose a box of 30 light bulbs contains 4 defective ones. If 5 bulbs are to be removed out of the box.

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

1) Probability that all five are good = 0.46

2) P(at most 2 defective) = 0.99

3) Pr(at least 1 defective) = 0.54

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of bulbs = 30

Number of defective bulbs = 4

Number of good bulbs = 30 - 4 = 26

Number of ways of selecting 5 bulbs from 30 bulbs = $30C5 = \frac{30 !}{(30-5)!5!} \\$

$30C5 = 142506$ ways

Number of ways of selecting 5 good bulbs from 26 bulbs = $26C5 = \frac{26 !}{(26-5)!5!} \\$

$26C5 = 65780$ ways

Probability that all five are good = 65780/142506

Probability that all five are good = 0.46

2) probability that at most two bulbs are defective = Pr(no defective) + Pr(1 defective) + Pr(2 defective)

Pr(no defective) has been calculated above = 0.46

Pr(1 defective) = $\frac{26C4 * 4C1}{30C5}$

Pr(1 defective) = (14950*4)/142506

Pr(1 defective) =0.42

Pr(2 defective) = $\frac{26C3 * 4C2}{30C5}$

Pr(2 defective) = (2600 *6)/142506

Pr(2 defective) = 0.11

P(at most 2 defective) = 0.46 + 0.42 + 0.11

P(at most 2 defective) = 0.99

3) Probability that at least one bulb is defective = Pr(1 defective) + Pr(2 defective) + Pr(3 defective) + Pr(4 defective)

Pr(1 defective) =0.42

Pr(2 defective) = 0.11

Pr(3 defective) = $\frac{26C2 * 4C3}{30C5}$

Pr(3 defective) = 0.009

Pr(4 defective) = $\frac{26C1 * 4C4}{30C5}$

Pr(4 defective) = 0.00018

Pr(at least 1 defective) = 0.42 + 0.11 + 0.009 + 0.00018

Pr(at least 1 defective) = 0.54

Mrs. Chip bought 2 sheets and a blanket and paid $41. Mrs. Dale bought a sheet and 4 blankets and paid $80.

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Sheet = $12
Blanket = $17

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of a sheet be s and cost of a blanket be b

2s + b = 41
s + 4b = 80

From the first equation we get:

b = 41 - 2s

Substitute in the second equation

s + 4*(41 - 2s) = 80
s + 164 - 8s = 80
7s = 84
s = 12

Then

b = 41- 2*12 = 17
