Answer:
1 bag of 64
2 bags of 32
4 bags of 16
Or 8 bags of 8
Step-by-step explanation:
that's the answer I think for however your answer is there were no answers to pick from....
With continuous data, it is possible to find the midpoint of any two distinct values. For instance, if h = height of tree, then its possible to find the middle height of h = 10 and h = 7 (which in this case is h = 8.5)
On the other hand, discrete data can't be treated the same way (eg: if n = number of people, then there is no midpoint between n = 3 and n = 4).
-------------------------------------
With that in mind, we have the following answers
1) Continuous data. Time values are always continuous. Any two distinct time values can be averaged to find the midpoint
2) Continuous data. Like time values, temperatures can be averaged as well.
3) Discrete data. Place locations in a race or competition are finite and we can't have midpoints. We can't have a midpoint between 9th and 10th place for instance.
4) Continuous data. We can find the midpoint and it makes sense to do so when it comes to speeds.
5) Discrete data. This is a finite number and countable. We cannot have 20.5 freshman for instance.
The generic equation for a linear function can be expressed in the slope intercept form f(x) = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. For this problem we can first find the equation of the line. Then we substitute x = 7 to get the f(x) value, which is n at the point x = 7.
To find the equation of the linear function we first find the slope. Slope is defined as the change in f(x) divided by the change in x. As we are given a linear function, the slope at every point is the same. We can pick any two points known to find the slope.
Let's pick (3, 7) and (9, 16). The slope m is m = (16-7)/(9-3) = 9/6 = 3/2.
Now that we have the slope, we can plug in the slope and one of the points to find b. Let's use the point (3, 7).
f(x) = mx + b
7 = (1/2)(3) + b
b = 11/2
Now we can write the equation
f(x) = (1/2)x + 11/2
Plugging in x = 7 we find that f(7) = 9. n = 9
