Answer:

  C)  2/3x + 3y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The attached graph shows only choice C intersects the desired point.

Essentially, the given graph is irrelevant. What you want to know is which equation has (3/4, 5/6) as a solution.

There are at least a couple of ways you can figure this out:

  1. try the given point in the equations to see which one works
  2. examine the features of the given equations to see which might work

__

If we consider the second approach, we realize all of the equations have negative y-intercepts except choice C*. For an equation with a negative y-intercept to be the solution, the x-intercept must be less than 3/4. That is not the case for any of choices A, B, or D, leaving only choice C as a viable possibility.

We can check to see if the given point satisfies choice C. Filling in for x and y, we get ...

  (2/3)(3/4) + 3(5/6) = 2/4 +5/2 = 3 . . . . . . the point is on this line

_____

In the attached graph, choice C is the black line.

_____

* For an equation of the form ax+by=c, the y-intercept is c/b and the x-intercept is c/a. The sign of the quotient can be figured from the signs of a, b, and c without doing any division.

_____

<em>Comment on intercepts</em>

Considering the signs and values of the x- and y-intercepts can tell you a lot about the solution to a system of equations. They tell you where the line segment between the axes lies, and they can give you a clue as to the location (quadrant) of the intersection point of two lines. Often, the intercepts are all you need to create a useful graph of an equation.

I do not know the full question being asked, but if he reads 3/4 chapters in 4/5 hours, he would read 6/4 chapters, or 1 1/2 chapters in 1 3/5 hours.

inysia [295]

Answer:

c. 9.5 lb < mu < 11.1 lb.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval can be stated as M±ME where

  • M is the sample mean (10.3)
  • ME is the margin of error

margin of error (ME) around the mean can be calculated using the formula

ME=\frac{z*s}{\sqrt{N} } where

  • z is the corresponding statistic in 95% confidence level (1.96)
  • s is the standard deviation of the sample (2.4)
  • N is the sample size (37)

Putting thesenumbers in the formula we get:

ME=\frac{1.96*2.4}{\sqrt{37} } ≈ 0.7733 ≈ 0.8

Then the 95% confidence interval would be 10.3 ± 0.8
