Up and Running Auto Shop is tracking their regular customers' data to see if there is a relationship between the life of a car's

engine and the number of times the oil is changed. The equation for the line of best fit for the data shown on the scatter plot is y = .4125x + .1576. What does .1576 represent in the equation?
A) .1576 represents the expected longevity of the engine before any oil changes.
B) .1576 represents the expected longevity of the engine with one oil change.
C) .1576 represents the expected longevity increase of the engine each time the oil is changed.
D) .1576 represents the expected longevity of the engine each time the car is driven.

The equation  y=0.4125x+0.1576 has two variables, y (longevity of car engine) and x (number of times oil changed).

This falls into the slope-intercept form of a linear function,which is y=mx+b, where b is the y-intercept (or in other words, the value of y when x is 0).

Comparing our equation to the slope-intercept form of a linear function tells us that the value 0.1576 is the y-intercept.

<em>It means </em><em>0.1576</em><em> is the expected longevity of a car engine when x is 0 (number of oil changed is 0). </em>This is answer choice A.

.1576 represents the expected longevity of the engine before any oil changes.


.1576 is the y-intercept, which is the starting point before any oil changes are computed to increase the longevity.

A supervisor records the repair cost for 14 randomly selected refrigerators. A sample mean of $79.20 and standard deviation of $
Nitella [24]

Answer:

( $74.623, $83.777)

The 90% confidence interval is = ( $74.623, $83.777)

Critical value at 90% confidence = 1.645

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval can be defined as a range of values so defined that there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within it.

The confidence interval of a statistical data can be written as.

x+/-zr/√n

Given that;

Mean x = $79.20

Standard deviation r = $10.41

Number of samples n = 14

Confidence interval = 90%

Using the z table;

The critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval.

z(α=0.05) = 1.645

Critical value at 90% confidence z = 1.645

Substituting the values we have;

$79.20+/-1.645($10.42/√14)

$79.20+/-1.645($2.782189528308)

$79.20+/-$4.576701774067

$79.20+/-$4.577

( $74.623, $83.777)

The 90% confidence interval is = ( $74.623, $83.777)

In his first year, a math teacher earned $32,000. Each successive year, he
Ivan

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Each successive year, he

earned a 5% raise. It means that the salary is increasing in geometric progression. The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as

Tn = ar^(n - 1)

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence(amount earned in the first year).

r represents the common ratio.

n represents the number of terms(years).

From the information given,

a = $32,000

r = 1 + 5/100 = 1.05

n = 20 years

The amount earned in his 20th year, T20 is

T20 = 32000 × 1.05^(20 - 1)

T20 = 32000 × 1.05^(19)

T20 = $80862.4

To determine the his total

earnings over the 20-year period, we would apply the formula for determining the sum of n terms, Sn of a geometric sequence which is expressed as

Sn = (ar^n - 1)/(r - 1)

Therefore, the sum of the first 20 terms, S20 is

S20 = (32000 × 1.05^(20) - 1)/1.05 - 1

S20 = (32000 × 1.653)/0.05

S20 = $1057920
