The table shows the temperature (in degrees) for eight consecutive days as well as the respective number of ice cream cones an i

ce cream shop sold on each of these days.
Temperature: 68, 77, 83, 85, 89, 94, 96, 99
number of cones: 403, 447, 457, 465, 489, 503, 543, 576

Answer:

B. 585

Step-by-step explanation:

A graph of the scatter plot and line of best fit is attached.

The temperature in this problem will be the independent variable, or x.  This is because we are assuming that the number of ice cream cones sold depends on the temperature; this means the number of ice cream cones will be the dependent variable, or y.

This means in our graphing calculator, we will enter temperature in the first list and the number of cones in the second.

After drawing the scatter plot, we run the linear regression; we get the values for a and b in our equation, y = ax+b:

a = 5.08

b = 46.59

This gives us the equation y = 5.08x + 46.59.

Entering our temperature, 106, in for x gives us

y = 5.08(106) + 46.59 = 585.07 ≈ 585

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

$34

Step-by-step explanation:

50% is half of 100%

(Because 50% x 2 = 100%)

Thus, half the money ($68) to find 50%.

So, 68÷2 = 34

Each day Gianna practices penalty kicks with her older brother as the goalie. Yesterday she made 18/24 of her penalty kicks. Tod
Flura [38]

Answer: 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are informed that Gianna practices penalty kicks and that she made 18/24 of her penalty kicks yesterday, this will be converted to its simplest form which will be:

= 18/24 = 3/4 .

If she plans on shooting 36 penalty kicks, the number of penalty kicks that Gianna would have to make to successfully shoot an equivalent fraction as yesterday will be:

= 3/4 × 36

= 3 × 9

= 27 penalty kicks.
