Use the graphing calculator to plot the line y=ax+b for the given data. On the attached diagram you can see green points that are ordered pairs weight-height and black line is regression line.
As you can see a≈0.1 and b≈50.9.
The equation of regression line is y=0.1x+50.9.
The first time I solved this problem, I did it in a way that I had to
mess with changing fractions to common denominators and all that.
Suddenly, however, the clean and easy way to do it dawned on me.
Here it is:
-- There are 56 marble in the bag.
-- The probability of pulling a red marble is 5/8, so
5/8 of the 56 marbles must be red.
5/8 of 56 = 35 red marbles.
-- The probability of pulling a green marble is 1/7,
so 1/7 of the 56 marbles must be green.
1/7 of 56 = 8 green marbles.
-- The red and green marbles make up (35 + 8) = 43
of the 56 marbles in the bag.
-- The rest of them are yellow.
There are (56 - 43) = 13 yellow marbles in the bag.
-- The probability of pulling a yellow marble is 13/56 . (about 23.2%)
No messy fractions at all !
That's the way I like it !
Answer:
Chloe received $11 as change if she gave the clerk $50
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that Chloe purchased a sweater that cost $24, and a shirt that cost 5/8 times as much as the sweater.
Cost of sweater = $24
Cost of shirt =
So, Total cost of shirt and sweater = 24+15=39
Now She gave $50 to clerk
So, Change received by her = 50-39=11
So, Chloe received $11 as change if she gave the clerk $50
