A group of friends went out for dinner and decided to split the cost of the bill equally. If each person contributed $32, the fr

iends would have $18 more than they needed for the bill but not enough for a 15% tip. If each person contributed $35, they would cover the bill and a 15% tip and have $6.30 left over. How much was the bill, and how many friends went out for dinner?

Answer:

The number of friends that went out for dinner is 8

And their bill is $238

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that the number of friends that went out for dinner to be x

And the bill for the dinner to be y

If each person contributed $32 and paid off the bill,they will have a balance of $18

32x - 18 = y_____equation 1

If each person contributed $35 and paid off the bill and also 15% tip,they will have a balance of $6.30

35x - 6.3 = y + (15% of y)

35x - 6.3 = y + (3y/20)

Open up the bracket

35x - 6.3 =(20y + 3y)/20

700x - 126 = 23y______equation 2

From equation 1,y = 32x - 18

Put the above in equation 2 and we have

700x - 126 = 23(32x -18)

700x - 126 = 736x - 414

collect like terms

36x = 288

x = 288/36

x = 8

Remember that equation 1 says that y = 32x - 18 and we now know that x = 8 .

Substitute and we have

(32 × 8) - 18

y = 238

The number of friends that went out for dinner is 8

And their bill is $238

The table shows the number of medical clinics and the number of bowling alleys in several cities.
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) to create a scatter plot for the data, let data for clinics be x and that one for Bowling alleys be y then plot x values with corresponding y values on a graph tool.

<u>x                     y</u>

14                   12

1                      3

6                     6

5                     7

10                    7

6                      8

11                      9

8                      15

6                       7

16                     12

The scatter plot is attached below

b) a cluster is a group of data that is close together. From the plot, the ordered pairs forming a cluster are;

(6,6), (6,7), (5,7), and (6,8)

c) An outlier is a point in a plot which lies very far from the other values. In this case, point its  point (8,15)

d)The linear regression equation is one written in the form of

Y=a+bX where ;

Y=the dependent variable

X=the explanatory variable

a=the intercept, which is the value of y when x=o

b=slope of the line

The formula to apply here is ;

a=(∑y)(∑x²)-(∑x)(∑xy) / n(∑x²)-(∑x)² where n is number of samples

b= n(∑xy)-(∑x)(∑y) / n(∑x²)-(∑x)²

Form a table like below

<u>x                     y               xy               x²                 y²</u>

14                   12              168            196              144

1                      3                 3               1                   9

6                     6                 36            36                 36

5                     7                 35             25                49

10                    7                 70             100              49

6                      8                 48             36              64

11                      9                99             121               81

8                      15               120             64            225

6                       7                42               36              49

16                     12                192            256            144

83                     86              813           871               850------------sum

∑x=83   ∑y=86  ∑xy=813  ∑x²=871  ∑y²=850 and n=10

Applying the formula

a=(∑y)(∑x²)-(∑x)(∑xy) / n(∑x²)-(∑x)²

a=[(86 * 871) - (83*813) ]/ 10 (871-83²)

a=[74906 - 67479] / 10(-6018)

a=[7427] / -60180

a= - 0.1234

b= n(∑xy)-(∑x)(∑y) / n(∑x²)-(∑x)²

b=10(813)-(83*86) / 10 (871)-(83²)

b=[8130-7138] / 8710 -6889

b= 992/1821

b=0.5448

The liner regression equation will be;

Y=a+bX

Y= -0.1234 + 0.5448 X

e) correlation coefficient r is given by;

r= n∑xy - (∑x)(∑y) / √n(∑x²)-(∑x)² × √n(∑y²)-(∑y)²

r=10*813 - (83*86) / √10 *871 -83² ×√10*850 - 86²

r=8130-7138 / √8710-6889 × √8500-7396

r= 992 / (√1821 × √1104)

r=992/ 42.67×33.23

r=992/1417.9

r=0.6996

f) r² is important because it shows you the proportion of the variance of one variable that is predictable from the other variable.

r=0.6996

r²=0.6996² =0.4894

Point b is the midpoint of ac-. if ab= 4x+2 and ac=10x-6, find the length of ac
Natasha2012 [34]

let's bear in mind that B is the midpoint and thus it cuts a segment into two equal halves.

\bf \underset{\leftarrow \qquad \textit{\large 10x-6}\qquad \to }{\boxed{A}\stackrel{4x+2}{\rule[0.35em]{10em}{0.25pt}} B\stackrel{\underline{4x+2}}{\rule[0.35em]{10em}{0.25pt}\boxed{C}}} \\\\\\ AC=AB+BC\implies 10x-6=(4x+2)+(4x+2)\implies 10x-6=8x+4 \\\\\\ 2x-6=4\implies 2x=10\implies x=\cfrac{10}{2}\implies x= 5 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ AC=(4x+2)+(4x+2)\implies AC=[4(5)+2]+[4(5)+2] \\\\\\ AC=22+22\implies AC=44
