The linear equation for given condition is y = -0.6x+133.

As given in the question,

Let y represents amount of sweeter consumed

And x represents number of years

Linear equation with x as independent variable and y as dependent variable is equal to y = mx + b

m = Slope

b = y-intercept

Each year amount decrease by 0.6pounds

Therefore, m = -0.6

Starting year is 1990

⇒ x=0

⇒ 133 = -0.6 (0) + b

⇒ b= 133

Therefore, linear equation for given situation is  y = -0.6x +133.

The complete question is :

The USDA reported that in 1990 each person in the united states consumed an average of 133 pounds of natural sweeteners. they also claim that this amount has decreased by about 0.6 pounds each year.

write a linear equation that relates years since 1990 to the average consumption of natural sweeteners. Define your variables.

A simple random sample of size nequals40 is drawn from a population. The sample mean is found to be 103.9​, and the sample stand
yan [13]

Answer:

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the population mean is greater than 100

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1</u>: We state the hypothesis and identify the claim

H_0:\mu=100 and H_1:\mu \:>\:100 (claim)

<u>Step 2</u>: Calculate the test value.

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }

\implies t=\frac{103.9-100}{\frac{21.9}{\sqrt{40} } }=1.1263

<u>Step 3</u>: Find the P-value. The p-value obtained from a calculator is using d.f=39 and test-value 1.126 is 0.134

<u>Step 4</u>: We fail to reject the null hypothesis since P-value  is greater that the alpha level. (0.134>0.05).

<u>Step 5</u>: There is enough evidence to support the claim that the population mean is greater than 100.

<u>Alternatively</u>: We could also calculate the critical value to obtain +1.685 for \alpha=0.05 and d.f=39 and compare to the test-value:

The critical value (1.685>1.126) falls in the non-rejection region. See attachment.

NB: The t- distribution must be used because the population standard deviation is not known.

Afina-wow [57]
The equation is 5c+25b=260 when c+b=12. rearrange that into 12-b=c. substitute and you get 5(12-b)+25b=260. b=10. 12-10=2, so 10 buses and 2 cars were used as transportation for the field trip.
