For 4y, I believe the coordinates are (4,6) and the coordinates for 2x are (2,12). This is my best guess. Let me know if I'm wrong.

First, let's put this in Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
4y - 2x = 24 Add 2x to both sides
4y = 2x + 24 Divide both sides by 4
y = (1/2)x + 6
Now that we're in slope-intercept we can easily find the y and x intercepts/
b = 6, so the y-intercept equals 6. Plug zero in for x to confirm!

Now we plug 0 in for y to find the x intercept:
0 = (1/2)x + 6 Subtract 6 from both sides
-6 = (1/2) x Multiply both sides by 2
-12 = x
The x intercept is -12

In Conlusion:
x-intercept = -12
y- intercept = 6

The Fall Festival charges $0.75 per ticket for the rides. Kendall bought 18 tickets for rides and spent a total of $33.50 at the

PIT_PIT [208]

Part (a)

The variable y is the dependent variable and the variable x is the independent variable.

Part (b)

The cost of one ticket is $0.75. Therefore, the cost of 18 tickets will be:

$0.75\times 18=13.5$ dollars

Now, we know that Kendall spent her money only on ride tickets and fair admission and that she spent a total of $33.50.

Therefore, the price of the fair admission is: $33.50-$13.50=$20

If we use y to represent the total cost and x to represent the number of ride tickets, the linear equation that can be used to determine the cost for anyone who only pays for ride tickets and fair admission can be written as:

$y=0.75x+20$ ......Equation 1

Part (c)

The above equation is logical because, in general, the total cost of the rides will depend upon the number of ride tickets bought and that will be 0.75x. Now, even if one does not take any rides, that is when x=0, they still will have to pay for the fair admission, and thus their total cost, y=$20.

Likewise, any "additional" cost will depend upon the number of ride tickets bought as already suggested. Thus, the total cost will be the sum of the total ride ticket cost and the fixed fair admission cost. Thus, the above Equation 1 is the correct representative linear equation of the question given.

Answer:

405

Step-by-step explanation:

To find sample size, use the following equation, where n = sample size, za/2 = the critical value, p = probability of success, q = probability of failure, and E = margin of error.

$n=\frac{(z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} })^{2} *p*q }{E^2}$

The values that are given are p = 0.84 and E = 0.03.

You can solve for the critical value which is equal to the z-score of (1 - confidence level)/2. Use the calculator function of invNorm to find the z-score. The value will given with a negative sign, but you can ignore that.

(1 - 0.9) = 0.1/2 = 0.05

invNorm(0.05, 0, 1) = 1.645

You can also solve for q which is 1 - p. For this problem q = 1 - 0.84 = 0.16

Plug the values into the equation and solve for n.

$n =\frac{(1.645)^2*0.84*0.16}{(0.03)^2}\\n= 404.0997333$
