Answer:
the linear equation is :
y= -2625x+5737875
and 440000 employees will be in year 2271
Step-by-step explanation:
in order to find the linerar equation let us first convert the given data into (x,y ) co-ordinates i.e
x1= 1987 y1= 522,000
and
x2= 2003, y2 = 480000
according to two point form:

In this example we have x1=1987 , y1=522000 , x2=2003 and y2=480000. So,

now to find the year when there will be 440000 employs working , we simply put y= 440000 in the above derived equation

wait i dont know why it wont let me comment or see comments but wheres the picture?
Answer:
<em>Choose the first alternative</em>

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Probabilities</u>
The requested probability can be computed as the ratio between the number of ways to choose two sophomores in alternate positions
and the total number of possible choices
, i.e.

There are 6 sophomores and 14 freshmen to choose from each separate set. There are 20 students in total
We'll assume the positions of the selections are NOT significative, i.e. student A/student B is the same as student B/student A.
To choose 2 sophomores out of the 6 available, the first position has 6 elements to choose from, the second has now only 5

The total number of possible choices is

The probability is then

Choose the first alternative
Each container is 50 pounds, forget about the second sentence it's just there to confuse you. One ton is 2,000 pounds, half of that is 1,000 lbs. 1,000 divided by 20 is 50. 50 pounds each.
