To estimate the number of people in Springfield, population 10,000, who have a swimming pool in their backyard, 250 people were
1 answer:
Answer:
2400 people
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of people who had a swimming pool in the population of 10,000,
Thus, the ratio of people who had swimming pool to the total population =
Since, out of 250 people 60 had swimming pool,
So, the ratio of the people who had swimming pool to the total population =
Hence, 2400 people in the city might one expect to have a swimming pool.
First option is correct.

Complete Question
Carmen and Matt are conducting different chemistry experiments in school. In both experiments, each student starts with an initial amount of water in a flask. They combine two chemicals which react to produce more water. Carmen's experiment starts with 30 milliliters of water in a flask, and the water increases in volume by 8.5 milliliters per second. Matt's experiment starts with 10 milliliters of water and increases in volume by 28% each second. The graph represents the volume of water in the two flasks in relation to time. Which two conclusions can be made if f represents the volume of water in Carmen's flask and g represents the volume of water in Matt's flask? a) The volume of water in Carmen's flask is increasing at a slower rate than the volume of water in Matt's flask over the interval [0, 2].
b) The volume of water in Carmen's flask is increasing at a faster rate than the volume of water in Matt's flask over the interval [6, 8].
c) The volume of water in Carmen's flask will always be greater than the volume of water in Matt's flask.
d) The volume of water in Matt's flask will eventually be greater than the volume of water in Carmen's flask.
e) The volume of water in Carmen's flask is increasing at a slower rate than the volume of water in Matt's flask over the interval [4, 6].
Answer:
c) The volume of water in Carmen's flask will always be greater than the volume of water in Matt's flask.
e) The volume of water in Carmen's flask is increasing at a slower rate than the volume of water in Matt's flask over the interval [4, 6].
Step-by-step explanation:
Looking at the graph, the average rate of change is given as [0,2], [4,6], and [6,8].
From the graph and question, we can tell that Matt's experiment starts with 10 milliliters of water and increases in volume by 28% each second
Which would gives us:
28% of 10 milliliter of water = 2.8 millimeters per second.
For Carmen , his experiment starts with 30 milliliters of water in a flask, and the water increases in volume by 8.5 milliliters per second,
Because, Carmen starts with 30 milliliters of water in his flask, the volume of water in Carmen's flask will always be greater than the volume of water in Matt's flask.
Secondly, comparing the quantity as which the volume of the flask increases per second, at the interval of [4, 6], the volume of water in Carmen's flask is increasing at a slower rate than the volume of water in Matt's flask over the interval
