Answer:

For every mile the car is towed, the cost increases by $4.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is : y=4.75x+20

Here y is the cost of towing a car if the car is towed x miles.

Lets check each statement:

1. For every mile the car is towed, the cost decreases by $20.

This is false as the cost will increase with each mile and 20 is constant here.

2. For every mile the car is towed, the cost decreases by $4.75.

This is false as the cost will always increase. Cost is directly proportional to miles driven. As miles increases, the cost also increases.

3. For every mile the car is towed, the cost increases by $4.75.

This is true. Here, 20 is constant and 4.75x varies whenever multiplied by a value of 'x'.

Lets check for 2 miles :

y=4.75(2)+20 = $29.5

Lets check for 3 miles :

y=4.75(3)+20 = $34.25

Difference of 34.25-29.50=4.75 dollars

So, this is the true statement.

4. For every mile the car is towed, the cost increases by $20.

This is false as 20 is a constant number in the given equation.

It would be C
y = 4.75x + 20 means
y equals 4.75 times x plus 20
4.75x is the cost of each mile towed
20 is the base number.

some mix up the order to trick you. it's not that hard to guess.

Answer:

(b) H0: p = 0.5; Ha: p > 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

p represents the population proportion.

A null hypothesis is a statement from the population parameter which is either rejected or accepted (fail to reject) upon testing. It is expressed using the equality sign.

An alternate hypothesis is also a statement from the population parameter which negates the null hypothesis and is accepted if the null hypothesis is rejected. It is expressed using any of the inequality signs.
