Answer:

a) not proportional

b) proportional; k = $-\frac{3}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

a) for any proportional equation, the line must pass through the origin. The equation in a) is y = 4x + 1, and the '+1' is the y-intercept. This means that the line does not pass through the origin, so x and y cannot increase by the same amount (i.e. they are not proportional).

Another way to determine this is is to use the y = kx base. If you have an equation that fits that it's likely proportional.

Here, if the equation was only y = 4x then it'd be proportional because u can see that k = 4. This is not the equation though, and the 4x + 1 doesn't fit to the y = kx formula so it can't be proportional.

b) straight away you can see that there's no 'c' term (y = mx + c) which means the y-intercept is 0, so the line passes through the origin. While this does not immediately mean the line is proportional, you can make sure that it is by checking it fits with the y = kx equation.

y = -(3/5)x fits with y = kx, with k being -3/5

There are 850 Douglas fir and Ponderosa pine trees in a section of forest bought by Karamazov Logging Co. The company paid an av

Answer:

350 Douglas fir, 500 Ponderosa pine

Step-by-step explanation:

Let f = the number of fir trees

and p = the number of pine trees.

Then, we have two conditions:

(1) f + p = 850

(2) 300f + 225p = 217 500

(3) p = 850 -f Subtracted f from each side of (1)

(4) 300f + 225(850 - f) = 217 500 Substituted (3) into (3)

300f + 191 250 - 225f = 217 500 Distributed 225

75f + 191 250 = 217 500 Distributed the 7

75f = 26 250 Subtracted 191 250 each side

(5) f = 350

350 + p = 850 Substituted (5) into (1)

p = 500 Subtracted 350 from each side

The company bought 350 fir trees and 500 pine trees.

Check:

(1) 350 + 500 = 850 (2) 300 × 350 + 225 × 500 = 217 500

850 = 850 105 000 + 112 500 = 217 500

217 500 = 217 500

OK.

Construct a sample (with at least two different values in the set) of 3 measurements whose variance is negative. If this is not

Bond [772]

This is not possible. Why not? Because the smallest the variance can get is 0.

Recall that 's' represents the standard deviation, so s^2 is the variance. It basically measures how spread out the values are. The higher the variance, the more spread out the data. You can think of it as "average distance from the mean". If the variance is 0, then all of the values are at the same point. So you could have a list like {2,2,2,2,2} which has variance 0. We cannot get any smaller variance than that. If your teacher insists all the values in the list are different, then the variance will be greater than 0.
