<h2>Answer:</h2>

$45.00 + $3.90 tax

Given data:

The price of a baseball cap = $9.00 plus $0.78 tax

cost of 5 caps = ?

Solution:

cost of a caps = $9.00 + $0.78

cost of 5 caps = 5($9.00 + $0.78)

= $45.00 + $3.90

A devastating freeze in California's Central Valley in January 2007 wiped out approximately 75% of the state's citrus crop. It t

The relationship between the percentage of frozen citrus crop, and the cost of box of oranges is an illustration of a linear function.

The linear equation of the function is: $g(P) = 22.9P+7$ .
The inverse function is: $g^{-1}(c) = \frac{1}{22.9}(c - 7)$ .
A practical domain is from 0% to 100%
A practical range is from 7 to 29.9

A. Input quantity

The input quantity is the percentage of frozen citrus crop

B. Output quantity

The output quantity is the cost of box of oranges

C. The linear function

We have:

$(P_1,c_1) = (20\%,11.58)\\(P_2,c_2) = (80\%,25.32)$

Calculate the slope of the function

$m = \frac{c_2 - c_1}{P_2 - P_1}$

$m = \frac{25.32 - 11.58}{80\%-20\%}$

$m = \frac{13.74}{60\%}$

$m = 22.9$

The linear equation is calculated as follows:

$c -c_1 = m(P-P_1)$

$c -11.58= 22.9(P-20\%)$

$c-11.58 = 22.9P-4.58$

D. Rewrite as y = mx + b

We have:

$c-11.58 = 22.9P-4.58$

Collect like terms

$c = 22.9P - 4.58 + 11.58$

$c = 22.9P+7$

The function is:

$g(P) = 22.9P+7$

E. A practical domain

The domain is the possible values of P. Because P is a percentage, its possible values are 0% to 100%.

The domain of the function is: $[0\%,100\%]$

F. A practical range

When P = 0%

$c = 22.9 \times 0\% + 7 = 7$

When P = 100%

$c = 22.9 \times 100\% + 7 = 29.9$

Hence, the range of the function is: $[7,29.9]$

G. The meaning of $g^{-1}(12)$

The inverse function of g(P) is $g^{-1}(P)$

So:

$g^{-1}(12)$ is the percentage of frozen citrus crop, when the cost is $12.

H. The inverse formula

We have:

$c = 22.9P+7$

Subtract 7 from both sides

$c - 7 = 22.9P$

Make P the subject

$P = \frac{1}{22.9}(c - 7)$

So, the inverse formula is:

$g^{-1}(c) = \frac{1}{22.9}(c - 7)$

Substitute 12 for c

$g^{-1}(12) = \frac{1}{22.9}(12 - 7)$

$g^{-1}(12) = \frac{1}{22.9} \times 5$

$g^{-1}(12) = 22\%$

How do you use the elimination method ?

lidiya [134]

To use the elimination method, you have to create variables that have the same coefficient, then you can eliminate them.

For which data set is a linear regression most reasonable?

Oxana [17]

Answer:

The correct option is;

A. A set of nine data pairs with a correlation coefficient r = -0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

In statistical analysis, it is important to make use of an adequate sample size in order to arrive at a valid result. An analysis with a very small sample size can provide misleading results

When performing regression analysis it is generally accepted by researchers that each variable should have at least 10 observations.

Therefore, the data set having nine data pairs with a negative correlation of -0.4 will provide the most valid result that can then be used for generalization about the larger statistical population.
