Answer:
oh i have done these before but this one is a little confusing bc i got 2 answers B or C
Answer:
(a) The amount of ice cream increase as temperature increases
(b)
--- equation
--- y intercept
--- slope
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
See attachment for graph
Solving (a): The relationship between the variables
From the attached graph, the dots on the graph increases towards up-right direction. This implies that there is a positive correlation between the variables.
In other words;
The amount of ice cream increase as temperature increases
Solving (b): The line of best fit
First, we draw a line through the points (the line should have almost equal points on both sides; see attachment 2).
From (2), we select any 2 points on the line:
The slope (m) is:
So, the line of best fit is:
Substitute known values:
The y-intercept is when
So, we have:
The manager already hired 9 people. Let be the number of people he still can hire. Since these people will add to the 9 he already hired, when the hiring campaign will be over he will have hired people. We know that he can't hire more than 14 people, so the number of people hired must be less than or equal to 14:
If we subtract 9 from both sides, we have
so, the manager can hire at most 5 other people
