Answer:

m = $25

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that the plumber is using 'y = mx + b' represent a linear equation.  A linear equation shows a relationship between two set of data where the change is constant.  In the case of the plumber, his rate is $25 per hour, so for every hour, he charges the same amount.  So, as each hour increases, the rate increases another $25.  In the equation y = mx + b , y = the total (dependent variable), m = rate of change, x = the number of hours (independent variable) and b = initial value.  The $45 fee is the initial value or charge regardless of the number of hours worked.  So, m = $25, which is the rate per hour.

Lera25 [3.4K]

Given:

The price of bananas can be determined by the equation P=0.25n, where P is the price and n is the number of bananas.

To find:

The constant of proportionality

Solution:

We have,

P=0.25n       ...(i)

where P is the price and n is the number of bananas.

Price P is directly proportional to the number of bananas. So,

P\propto n

P=kn            ...(ii)

Where, k is the constant of proportionality.

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

k=0.25

Therefore, the constant of proportionality is 0.25.

How do you solve the system of the linear equation by substitution?<br> y=x-4<br> 4x-y=3
Bingel [31]

Answer:

x=-1/3, y=-13/3. (-1/3, -13/3).

Step-by-step explanation:

y=x-4

4x-y=3

------------

4x-(x-4)=3

4x-x+4=3

3x+4=3

3x=3-4

3x=-1

x=-1/3

y=-1/3-4

y=-1/3-12/3=-13/3

Which of the following variables is Nominal? Select one: a. Age (in years) b. Age (grouped as: less than 18, 18-29, 30-59, 60 an
Arada [10]

Answer:

c. Car color (e.g. red, blue, grey)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are four level of measurements: Ordinal, Nominal, Interval and Ratio.

  1. Ordinal variables are categorical variables and have a ordered categories. For example,the health of patients: Excellent, Good, Average and Poor.
  2. Nominal variables are also categorical variables but they do not have a ordered category or any numerical value. For example, Gender: Male or Female, or Occupation:, Accountant, Clerk, Manager.
  3. Interval variable are variables that take numerical values. These variables are ordered and  the difference between two values is meaningful. For example, temperature in degrees F.
  4. Ratio variable are type of interval variables but they do not have a variables with a 0 measurement. For example, height, age, money.

Considering all the option:

(a) Age (in years) is an interval variable.

(b) Age grouped as < 18, 18 - 29, 30-59, 60 > are basically ordered categorical variables. Thus, they are ordinal variables.

(c) Car Color (red, blue, grey) are nominal variable because they are not ordered and cannot be measured.

(d) Letter grade in a course (A+, A, A-, B+, B) are also ordinal variables because they are ordered and represent the performance quality of the student.

Thus, the correct answer is (c).
