Answer: 192 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denotes the weight of Frances ( in pounds ).

Given : The ratio between Frances and Carolina's weight is 8: 7

If Carolina weighs 168 pounds, then using proportion s we have the equation below :-

$\dfrac{x}{168}=\dfrac{8}{7}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{8\times168}{7}\ \ \text{[Multiply 168 on both sides]}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=8\times24=192$

Therefore, the weight of Frances = 192 pounds.

Find the y intercept of (-2,5) and (3,25)

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

The y-intercept is (0, 13).

Step-by-step explanation:

First finf the equation of the line:

The slope = (25- 5) / (3 - -2)

= 20/5

= 4

So its equation is

y - 5 = 4(x + 2)

y = 4x + 13

The y-intercept occurs when x = 0

so y-intercept = 4(0) + 13.

It's (0, 13).

Answer:

Note: The full question is attached as picture below

1. The manufacturer is taking a sample of her friends, which is most convenient to sample - Convenience sampling

2. The whole population is divided into different groups (strata) and random samples are drawn from each group - Stratified sampling

3. The population is divided into different clusters (here, communities) and whole clusters are surveyed - Cluster sampling

4. The samples are drawn at a fixed interval from the population list - Systematic sampling

5. The samples are randomly drawn from the population - Simple random sampling
