Loosely, "varies inversely" means that as one quantity increases, the other decreases. Specifically, if x and y vary inversely, then y = k/x where k is some constant (a particular number).
Another way to write that relationship is xy = k. To find the value of k for this problem, you need a numbers for x and y that go together.
Suppose x = number of children and y = number of candies (it doesn't matter what order these go in as long as you keep track!).
"When 12 children are present, 140 pieces of candy are consumed." So when x = 12, the value of y = 140.
xy = k
(12)(140) = k
1680 = k
Now, when x = 8 children,
8y = 1680
y = 210
This should be simple, add the Amounts of snow for the first week
4.32 + 6.86 = 11.18
-------------------------------------------------------
The subtract the amounts of snow from each week
11.18 - 7.89 = 3.29
----------------------------------------
C.) 3.29 is your answer
12+8k=48
=>8k=36
=>k=36/8
=>k=4.5
Answer:
a. There is a causation relationship and positive trend between number of hours on homework and higher test scores.
b. 76
Step-by-step explanation:
a. Since the dots all follow a linear progression and increase closely together this is a positive trend and likely a causation relationship.
b. y=7x+41 can predict a test score. x is the number of hours, so if 5 if the number of hours then y=7(5)+41 = 35+41=76
Answer: 12.10
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Mean : 
Standard deviation : 
The formula to calculate the z-score :-
For x= 5 degrees
For x= 10 degrees
The P-value : 
In percent , 
Hence, the percentage of days had a low temperature between 5 degrees and 10 degrees = 12.10%
