Using proportions, the amount of money that Sam would need each month to pay his bills is of:

b. at least $425.32.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, his annual social security benefit is of 42% of $37,991, hence:

A = 0.42 x 37991 = $15,956.22.

Hence the monthly amount is given by:

M = 15956.22/12 = $1,329.68

He needs $1,755 monthly, hence the amount he needs is of at least:

An = 1755 - 1329.68 = $425.32.

Which means that option b is correct.

Suppose Wesley is a marine biologist who is interested in the relationship between the age and the size of male Dungeness crabs.
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

20.24 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, since the age of the crab is given in months and the regression line was computed using the age in months, we just have to replace the value of the age in the formula to estimate the size.

The formula obtained for the estimated size Y was

Y = 9.1411 + 0.4775X  

where X is the age in months

Replacing X with 23.2417, we get

Y = 9.1411 + 0.4775*23.2417 = 20.24 cm
