Answer: C $1.51

To solve this, start with a proportion. Put the CPI numbers on the left and the apple juice prices on the right.

You will have:

82.4/130.7 = 0.95/x

Cross multiply to solve and you will get the price of the juice is $1.51.

Answer:

The cost of the gallon of the apple juice is approximately $1.51 in 1990. (Option C)

Step-by-step explanation:

As it can be assumed that the increase of the gallon of apple juice is proportional to the increase of the CPI, we can state that the rate of the price of 1990 to the price of 1980 is the same than the rate of the CPI in 1990 to the CPI in 1980:

$130.7 / $82.4 = Pg (1990)/ $0.95

Where Pg (1990) is the apple juice gallon cost for 1990. By solving the equation above:

$130.7 / $82.4 * $0.95 = Pg (1990)

Pg (1990) = $1.5068 ---> Pg (1990) = $1.51

A scientist measured the amounts of fertilizer given to plants, the heights to which the plants grew, and the amount of fruit th
pentagon [3]

Answer:

d. Since fertilizer is in both data sets and is positively correlated to both tree height and fruit yield, it is like that tree height and fruit yield are also positively correlated.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correlation refers to the relationship between two or more variables i.e how they are interrelated to each other. It can be positive, negative, perfect, etc

As we can see in the figure that in both the data sets the fertilizer contains the same values which depict that they are positively correlated with respect to the height of tree and fruit yield that derives that the height of tree and fruit yield is also positively correleated

Here positive correlation means that the two variables moving in a similar direction i.e if one variable increased so the other is also increased

Therefore the option d is correct
