The total square footage of mini storage units being rented in a city is graphed to forecast future demand. The scatter plot has

a trend line y=0.538x + 9.02, where x = 0 is the year 2005 and y is the total area rented (in ten thousand square feet) of all mini storage units in the city. If the total area rented continues to increase at the same rate, about how many square feet of mini storage units will be needed by the year 2018?
A 190,000 sq ft
B 160,000 sq ft
C 19,000 sq ft
D 16,000 sq ft

Answer:

B 160,000 sq ft

Step-by-step explanation:

2018 is 13 years after 2005.

Put x=13 in the equation and evaluate:

... y = 0.538·13 +9.02 = 6.994 +9.02 = 16.014

This is the number of 10,000 sq ft, so the required area is ...

... 16 times 10,000 sq ft = 160,000 sq ft.

Answer:

D) 16,000 sq ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The scatter plot has a trend line y = 0.538x + 9.02, where "x" represents the number years and "y" represents the area rented.

x =0, when the year 2005

Here we need to find the storage area needed in the year 2018

Therefore, x = 13 in the year 2018.

Now plug in x = 13 in the given equation and find the value of y.

y = 0.538(13) + 9.02

y = 6.99 + 9.02

y = 16.01 thousand square feet

y = 16.01 *1000

y = 16,010 square feet

The nearest approximate value 16,000 sq.ft

The answer is D) 16,000 sq ft

Thank you.

Determine whether the three points are collinear.<br> (0, - 10). (-3,- 13), (2,-8)

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

<h2>YES. These points are collinear.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

If three points are collinear, then the slopes are the same.

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

For (0, -10) and (-3, -13):

$m=\dfrac{-13-(-10)}{-3-0}=\dfrac{-13+10}{-3}=\dfrac{-3}{-3}=1$

For (-3, -13) and (2, -8):

$m=\dfrac{-8-(-13)}{2-(-3)}=\dfrac{-8+13}{2+3}=\dfrac{5}{5}=1$

We can check the last pair (0, -10) and (2, -8):

$m=\dfrac{-8-(-10)}{2-0}=\dfrac{-8+10}{2}=\dfrac{2}{2}=1$

Assume that the amount of beverage in a randomly selected 16-ounce beverage can has a normal distribution. Compute a 99% confide

ioda

Answer:

The question is incomplete, but the step-by-step procedures are given to solve the question.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.005$

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of $1 - \alpha$ .

That is z with a pvalue of $1 - 0.005 = 0.995$ , so Z = 2.575.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

$M = 2.575\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M.

The 99% confidence interval for the population mean amount of beverage in 16-ounce beverage cans is (lower end, upper end).

What’s the answer to this problem?

Alja [10]

Answer:

Figure: Amount of tiles:

1 5

2 8

3 11

4 14

5 17

6 20

7 23

8 26

9 29

10 32

11 35

12 38

13 41

The sequence/pattern is +3 tiles.

So Figure 13 will have 41 tiles.

I hope this helps!
