Answer:
a) The percentage of adults who smoke are decreasing with time. b) the equation that best described this data is y=-0.3364x+22.809 (R^2=0.859) in which y is the percentage of adults who smoke and x the number of years. c) the percentage of adults who smoke will be 19.8% and it will not meet the expected 12%, it would take 32 years to reach that value.
Step-by-step explanation:
The data can be plotted to which years is the independent variable and percentage of adults who smoke is the dependent variable. The linear trendline that described this data has a negative slope which indicates that the percentage of adults is decreasing with time. In order to determine if the OSH target is being met, the x is replaced by 9 which is the goal period of nine years. The y is 19% which is higher than the 12% goal. In order to know the period it will take to the reach the goal of 12%, the y is replaced by 12 in the curve and the x is the answer in years = 32 years.
Answer: B
Explanation:
32 marbles in total.
18 red marbles
4 blue marbles
10 green marbles.
You are asked what part of Osteen's marbles are red?
Probability = number of possible outcomes/total number of out outcomes.
P(Red) = 18/32 = 9/16
Both, 18 and 32 are divisible by 2 which gives 9/16. Since 9/16 cannot be reduced any further, we live it as it is. If you wanted to plug this into a calculator that would give 0.5625 which is 56.25% of Osteen's marbles are red.
P(Blue) = 4/32 = 1/8. 1/8 = 0.125 which 12.5% of his marbles are blue.
P(Green) = 10/32 = 5/16. 5/16= 0.3125 which 31.25 of his marbles are green. When you add 0.5625 + 0.125 + 0.3125 = 1 which is 100%. All probabilities add up to 1.
Hope this elaborate explanation helps.
In order for two linear lines to be perpendicular, the product of their gradient must be -1.
Let's take y = x + b and y = -x + b
This is already in the form: y = mx + b, where m is 1 and -1 respectively.
Since the product of their gradient is -1, they are said to be perpendicular.
Answer:
F=55
E=70
Step-by-step explanation:
The total degree of a triangle is 180.
So we have 180-55*2
E=180-110
E=70
Answer:
x=±1. are the factors of the quadratic equation.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given quadratic expression, f(x)=-12x - 2x + 60x² +14x-60
Rearranging and adding the terms in the expression and equating to zero.
f(x)= 60x² -60=0
60(x² - 1) =0
The zero product property states that if the product of a⋅b=0 then either a or b equal zero or both of them must be equal to zero. This basic property helps us solve the quadratic equations like (x+2)(x-5)=0 where x =-2,5.
from the zero product property we can infer that 60≠0⇒x² - 1=0
⇒(x+1)×(x-1) = 0
⇒x=±1.
Therefore, x=±1. are the factors of the quadratic equation.
