Answer:

m = 12.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Ferret:

Weight = 2.1lb

Cost = \$3.40

Labrador Retriever

Weight = 70lb

Cost = \$7.50

Required

Determine the slope

Represent the given as x or y

Taking the weight as explanatory variable;

We have:

x = 2.1; y = 3.4

x = 7.5; y = 70

Slope is calculated as:

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

m = \frac{70 - 3.4}{7.5 -2.1}

m = \frac{66.6}{5.4}

m = 12.33

<em>Hence, the slope is 12.33</em>

Simple interest,
FV=P(1+ni)
FV=future value=2500
P=present value, invested amount
n=number of years, =3
i=annual interest rate, =0.095
2500=P(1+3(0.095))
Solve for P.

Need help don’t understand thank you
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

1: mean equals 17.417, median is 12.75, mode is 8.2, range is 33, the minimum is 8.2 the maximum is 41.2. The IQR is 16.55, the quartiles is q1: 8.95, q2: 12.75, q3 is 25.5, there are no outliers.

2: the best middle is 12.75 because the median is usually the middle number but if you orgainze the numbers there will be two but you will end up getting 12.75 as your median. take the two middle number add together then divide by 2 then that is your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Can u make a triangle with 2.1 in., 4 in.,7.9 in.
Alex777 [14]
No, the Triangle Inequality Theorem states that two sides of a triangle always add up to more than the third side. however, 2.1+4 < 7.9. this means that a triangle can't be made
