The price of a gallon of milk at a particular convenience store has been recorded over the course of 10 weeks. At the end of the

third week, the price $3.38 and at the end of the eighth week the price is $3.55. The price has been observed to increase exponentially.

<u>Given:</u>

The price of milk at the end of the third week = $3.38.

The price of milk at the end of the eighth week = $3.55.

<u>To find:</u>

The approximate increase in price of milk per week and the cost of milk at the end of the tenth week.

<u>Solution:</u>

To determine the increase in the price per week, we divide the difference in price over n number of weeks by n.

Here we know the prices of milk at the end of the third and the eighth week. There are 5 weeks between these two.

The approximate increase in the price of milk = \frac{3.55-3.38}{5} = \frac{0.17}{5} = 0.034.

So there is an increase of $0.034 per week.

To determine the price at the end of the tenth week, we add the increase in price over two weeks to the price at the end of the eighth week.

The price of milk at the end of the eighth week = $3.55.

The increase in price over two weeks =2(0.034) = 0.068.

The price of the milk at the end of the tenth week = 3.55+0.068=3.618.

Rounding this off to the nearest cent, we get the price of milk at the end of the tenth week is $3.62.

Suppose the mean height in inches of all 9th grade students at one high school is estimated. The population standard deviation i
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

The population mean = sample mean = x`= 67.5

Population standard deviation = 13.369

Sample standard deviation= 4.225

Step-by-step explanation:

AS the population mean is not given we will calculate it from the sample.

The mean of the sampling distribution is equal to the population mean .

The sample mean is calculated by

x`= ∑x/n= 75,+ 62, +69,+65,+66,+64, +67,+70,+74 + 63/10

x`=675/10= 67.5

The standard deviation of the sample is equal to

u = σ/ √n   where σ is the population standard deviation and n is the number of observations.

Calculating the sample mean

s= √∑xi²/n- (∑x/n)²

s= √(45741/10)- (675/10)²

s= 4.2249

σ= u*√n= 4.229 *√10

σ=13.360

What is the equation in slope-intercept form of the linear function represented by the table?
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

y = -x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given (-5,14), (-2,11), (1,8), and (4,5).  Your first objective is to find the slope.

Slope is delta y divided by delta x - the amount of height the graph gains divided by the amount of horizontal length the graph gains.  Take any two points and plug it into this: \frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1}}.

i.e. (-2,11) and (4,5): \frac{11-5}{-2-4} which is \frac{6}{-6}, or -1.  Thus, the slope is -1.

We now have y = -1(x) + b, or just y = -x + b.

Next, find the y-intercept.  Set the value of x to 0, as the y-intercept is found along the y-axis, which is at the horizontal center of the graph, 0.  We now know that the y-intercept is (0,y).  To find the y-value, plug one of the coordinate pairs of choice into x and y.

i.e. (-5,14): 14 = (-1)(-5) + b

14 = 5 + b

14 - 5 = 5 + b - 5

9 = b

So, the y-intercept is (0,9).

Finally, the equation is:

y = -x + 9
