Answer:
1) There are 13 students in Jerry's study.
2) There are 39 students in Kathy's study.
3) Jerry's study is more trustworthy!
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Jerry's study is the one with the dot plot.
Now, the number of students is calculated by adding the total number of dots in the plot.
We have a total of 13 dots.
Thus, there are 13 students in Jerry's study.
2) Kathy's study is the one with the histogram.
The total number of students is gotten by adding the corresponding number of students on the y-axis for each range of distance on the x-axis.
Total number of students = 9 + 11 + 7 + 12 = 39 students
3) Jerry's study where he used a dot plot is likely to be more trustworthy because it gives exact values of the number of students for each distance represented whereas, Kathy's study where she used a histogram doesn't give exact values but just gives a range of distances for a particular number of people.
To write an equation you need a slop and y intercept. To find the slop use the formula y2-y1 /x2-x1. and for the y intercept use the formula y=mx+b
Plug in the points and see if y and x are equal to each other.
(2,3)
y= x-1
3= 2-1
3= 1 (not the solution)
y=3x
3=3*3
3=9 (not the solution)
y=x+1
3=2+1
3=3 (solution) We can check to make sure.
y=-3x
3=-3*3
3=-9 (not the solution)
y=x+1 <em>is the answer.
</em>
I hope this helps!
