132 pounds -> 143 milligrams

A researcher measures daily driving distance from college and weekly cost of gas for a group of commuting college students. What
juin [17]

Answer:

There is a positive correlation between these two variables.

Step-by-step explanation:

Positive correlation is an association amid two variables in which both variables change in the same direction.  

A positive correlation occurs when one variable declines as the other variable declines, or one variable escalates while the other escalates.

As the distance covered by the vehicle increases the amount of gas consumed also increases. Thus, the weekly cost of gas will also increase.

Thus, there is a positive correlation between these two variables.

(a) The Feelgood Gym has a monthly membership fee of $100 and it charges an addi-
Ierofanga [76]

If I use the gym for x hours in a month, the total cost in terms of x will be 1000 + x.

a. Monthly membership fee = $100

Additional amount charged = $1 per hour.

If I use the gym for x hours in a month, the total cost in terms of x will be:

= 1000 + 1(x)

= 1000 + x

b. Also, if the amount charged is $35 per month and $3.50 per hour, the total cost will be:

= 35 + 3.50(x)

= 35 + 3.5x

c. The number of hours that will give same cost will be:

1000 + x = 35 + 3.5x

Collect like terms.

1000 - 35 = 3.5x - x

965 = 2.5x

x = 965/2.5

x = 386

In 386 hours, the total cost will be the same.
