Answer:

D. Graph D

Step-by-step explanation:D. Graph D

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that, 'Direct Variation or Directly Proportional' is relationship between two variables where one is a constant multiple of the other.

That is, if one variable changes, the other variable also changes in proportion to the first variable.

The general form of 'Direct Variation' is y = kx, where k is a constant i.e. it does not have a y-intercept.

Now, according to our options, we see that the figures of A,B,C are the graphs of the straight lines given by y =-2x+2 , y=2x+2, y=-2x+2 respectively.

Each of these three equations have y-intercept, therefore cannot be the equations of a direct proportion.

Now, in option D, the figure is the graph of straight line y = -x and has no y-intercept.

Hence, the linear function in Graph D shows a direct proportion.

4 = 4^0 + 4^0 + 4^0 + 4^0

5 = 4^2 / (4^0 * 4) + 4^0

6 = 4^2 / 4 + 4^0 + 4^0

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim.

Step-by-step explanation:

The claim to be tested is:

The mean respiration rate (in breaths per minute) of students in a large statistics class is less than 32.

To test this claim the hypothesis can be defined as follows:

H₀: The mean respiration rate of students is 32, i.e. μ = 32.

Hₐ: The mean respiration rate of students is less than 32, i.e. μ < 32.

The sample mean respiration rate of students is 31.3.

According to the claim the sample mean is less than 32.

The sample mean value is not unusual if the claim is true, and the sample mean value is also not unusual if the claim is false.

Thus, there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim.
