Question

PLZ HURRY!!! WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!!! For several months, an ice-cream vendor collects data showing the number of cones sold in a day (c) and the number of degrees above 70°F (t) that the high temperature reaches that day. The vendor finds that there is a positive linear association between c and t that is best modeled by the equation c=3.7t+98 .
Which statement is true?


A.The model predicts that for each additional degree that the high temperature is above 70°F, the total number of cones sold increases by 98.

B.The model predicts that the average number of cones sold in a day is 98.

C.The model predicts that the average number of cones sold in a day is 3.7.

D.The model predicts that for each additional degree that the high temperature is above 70°F, the total number of cones sold increases by 3.7.

Answer 1

Answer: D. The model predicts that for each additional degree that the high temperature is above 70°F, the total number of cones sold increases by 3.7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The vendor finds that there is a positive linear association between c and t (number of cones sold in a day (c) and the number of degrees above 70°F(t) ) that is best modeled by the equation.

$c=3.7t+98$

Since, 3.75 is the rate of change of number of cones per degrees above 70°F.

Hence, the model predicts that for each additional degree that the high temperature is above 70°F, the total number of cones sold increases by 3.7.

Answer 2

D.The model predicts that for each additional degree that the high temperature is above 70°F, the total number of cones sold increases by 3.7.
