Answer:

option B) The cost of purchasing oranges for $1.50 per pound plus a shipping fee of $0.25 per pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form k=\frac{y}{x} or y=kx

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

<u><em>Verify each case</em></u>

case A) The cost of purchasing a basket of oranges for $1.80 per pound plus $5.00 for the basket

Let

x ----> the pounds of oranges

y ---> the total cost

The linear equation is  equal to

y=1.80x+5

The line not passes through the origin (because the y-intercept is not zero)

therefore

This situation not represent a proportional relationship

case B) The cost of purchasing oranges for $1.50 per pound plus a shipping fee of $0.25 per pound

Let

x ----> the pounds of oranges

y ---> the total cost

The linear equation is  equal to

y=(1.50-0.25)x

y=(1.25)x

The line passes through the origin

therefore

This situation represent a proportional relationship

case C) The cost of purchasing oranges for $1.90 per box  with a delivery charge of $3.50

Let

x ----> the number of box

y ---> the total cost

The linear equation is  equal to

y=1.90x+3.50

The line not passes through the origin (because the y-intercept is not zero)

therefore

This situation not represent a proportional relationship

case D) The cost of purchasing oranges for $1.75 per pound with a coupon for $1.00 off the total cost

Let

x ----> the pounds of oranges

y ---> the total cost

The linear equation is  equal to

y=1.75x-1.00

The line not passes through the origin (because the y-intercept is not zero)

therefore

This situation not represent a proportional relationship

The response to a question has three alternatives: A, B, and C. A sample of 120 responses provides 60 A, 12 B, and 48 C. Show th
zimovet [89]

Answer:

CLASS     FREQUENCIES     RELATIVE FREQUENCIES

A                        60                                 0.5

B                        12                                  0.1

C                        48                                 0.4

TOTAL              120                                  1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

the frequencies of there alternatives are;

Frequency A = 60

Frequency B = 12

Frequency C = 48

Total = 60 + 12 + 48 = 120

Now to determine our relative frequency, we divide each frequency by the total sum of the given frequencies;

Relative Frequency A = Frequency A / total = 60 / 120 = 0.5

Relative Frequency B = Frequency B / total = 12 / 120 = 0.1

Relative Frequency C = Frequency C / total = 48 / 120 = 0.4

therefore;

CLASS     FREQUENCIES     RELATIVE FREQUENCIES

A                        60                                 0.5

B                        12                                  0.1

C                        48                                 0.4

TOTAL              120                                  1
