Rates like $ per channel is a slope, "m". The added fee is a constant so it's the intercept "b".
y = mx + b

So for the first problem (9)
(a)
y = total cost in dollars
x = number of premium channels
y = 16x + 44
(b) when x = 3 channels
y = 16(3) + 44
y = 92 $

the second problem (10)
(a) every 4 years the tree grows by 12-9=3 ft
So the unit rate or slope will be 3 ft per 4 yrs, (3/4). You can see this also by solving for slope "m" using the given points (4,9) and (8,12).

x = number of years
y = height of tree in ft
y = (3/4)x + b
use one of the points to find the y-intercept "b".

9 = (3/4)(4) + b
9 = 3 + b
9 - 3 = b
6 = b
y = (3/4)x + 6

(b) when x = 16
y = (3/4)(16) + 6
y = 12 + 6
y = 18 ft

Flura [38]

Answer:

55/2574 ≈ 2.18%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 13 people on the council.

The probability that the first person is a Democrat is 8/13.

The probability that the second person is a Democrat is 7/12.

The probability that the third person is a Republican is 5/11.

The probability that the fourth person is a Republican is 4/10.

The probability that the fifth person is a Republican is 3/9.

The total probability is:

P = (8/13) (7/12) (5/11) (4/10) (3/9)

P = 56/2574

P ≈ 0.0218

There is a 2.18% probability of selecting two Democrats and three Republicans.

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

At a significance level of 0.05, there is enough evidence to claim that there is a significant relationship between x and y.

P-value = 0.003.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we perform a regression analysis relating x and y, we get the best fitting line with equation:

$y=15.82x+92.9$

and a correlation coefficient r:

$r=0.693$

We have to test the hypothesis, where the alternative hypothesis claims that there is a relationship between these two variables, and the null hypothesis claiming there is no relationship (meaning that the correlation is not significantly different from 0).

This can be written as:

$H_0: \rho=0\\\\H_a:\rho\neq0$
