A- It's LINEAR: every 2 other weeks, her savings increase by a CONSTANT amount of $12 (per 2 weeks) or $6/week

B- After the 2 first week she had $20 less the $12 (baby sitting for 2 weeks) =$8. This is the amount she saved prior to babysitting , then each week she added $6 (or $12 in 2 weeks)
If Y is the total amount of saving after a period of time T & $6 is the rate per week & she started with $8, then the equation becomes Y= 6 T +8, where T is the number of weeks

C- the slope is the coefficient of T that means 6
As for Y intercept or where the function intercepts the Y axis it happens for T=0 & in this case Y intercept = 8
Hope it's clear

According to a survey conducted by Netpop Research, 65% of new car buyers use online search engines as part of their car-buying

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

(a) 0.76

(b) 0.46

(c) 0.58

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first list the probabilities of each event:

Buyers using online search engine: 0.65

Buyers skipping test drive = 0.11

Buyers that use search engines AND skip test drives = 0.65 * 0.11 = 0.07

(a) To find this probability, we simply need to add the probabilities of the above conditions that meet the criteria of the question. Since all of the above conditions meet the criteria set by the question, we have:

Probability = 0.65 + 0.11

Probability = 0.76

(b) The probability of buyers that do not use search engines = 1 - 0.65 = 0.35

Probability of buyers that do not use search engines OR do skip the test drive = 0.35 + 0.11 = 0.46

(c) Probability of buyers buyers that do not skip test drive = 1 - 0.11 = 0.89

Probability of buyers using online search engine AND not skipping the test drive = 0.65 * 0.89 = 0.58

(It must be noted that question c is phrased wrong. Since both events are independent, i.e buying a car OR skipping the test drive would mean 0.65 + 0.89 = 1.54 (not possible) )

Rita is planting saplings along her garden fence. When she started, she had x packages of saplings with 5 saplings per package.

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

A. When Rita started, she had 7 packages of saplings.

B. If we represent x (number of packages of saplings) on a number line graph, it will start on number 4 (number of packages Rita still has) then moves to the right to number 7, that is the number of packages when Rita started to plant.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Number of packages Rita started = x

Number of saplings per package = 5

Number of saplings planted by Rita = 15

Number of saplings left = 20

2. How many packages of saplings did she start with?

Number of packages Rita started = (Number of saplings planted by Rita + Number of saplings left)/Number of saplings per package

Replacing with the real values:

x = (15 + 20)/5

x = 35/5 = 7

When Rita started, she had 7 packages of saplings.

3. What would the solution look like on a number line graph?

If we represent x (number of packages of saplings) on a number line graph, it will start on number 4 (number of packages Rita still has) then moves to the right to number 7, that is the number of packages when Rita started to plant.

The professor of a business statistics class wanted to find out the average amount of time per week her students spent studying

zhenek [66]

Answer:

Cluster sample

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an example of a cluster sample. In a cluster sample, the examiner divides the population into groups (each one of these groups is called a cluster) and once the examiner has these clusters, takes one of them and recollects the data from ALL the members of that cluster. In this case, the teacher divided the class in 3 different groups and then selects one of these groups and asks the average amount of time per week he/she spent studying.
