Answer:

C. y= 14x+20

Step-by-step explanation:

By looking at the table, you can put in the x-values into all of the equations until you find the corresponding y-values that matches with the values in the table. For example: y= 14(2)+ 20, y=48. y= 14(20) +20, y=300. Hope this helped!

Answer: Hello mate!

we have a table with the pairs (2,48), (5,98), (12, 188) and (20,300)

we know that the model is a linear function, by looking at the given options, then we can obtain the slope in the next way:

for a function y(x) = ax + b, we can obtain the slope a in the next way:

a = \frac{y(x2) - y(x1)}{x2 - x1}

Then we can obtain the slope on our situation with two pairs of the given ones; took (2,48) and (20,300) because are the two extremes of our set:

a = \frac{300 - 48}{20 -2} = \frac{252}{18} = 14

Now lets find the x-intercept.

if y(x) = 14x + b, let's evaluate the pairs given and find the value of b.

y(2) = 48 = 14*2 + b

b = 48 - 28 = 20

and y(20) = 300 = 14*20 + b

b = 300 - 14*20 = 20

Then the correct answer is the option C.

You can see that this function is not 98 when x = 2, this can be a typo in the table, but this does not matter, because we are modeling the situation, which is giving an approximation, and this is just one point outside our lineal approximation.

You also can do linear regression in this problem, using something like origin, but I think that the eye approximation is a more useful skill to develop.

According to AccuData Media Research, 36% of televisions within the Chicago city limits are tuned to "Eyewitness News" at 5:00 p
umka21 [38]

Answer:

a) Mean: 900

Standard deviation: 24

b) Very unusual

c) Unusual

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a population proportion p=0.36 and we are taking a sample of size n=2500. This can be modeled as binomial sampling.

For this sampling distribution, we have a mean and STD that can be calculated as:

\mu_s=n\cdot p=2500\cdot0.36=900\\\\\sigma_s=\sqrt{n\cdot p(1-p)}=\sqrt{2500*0.36*0.64)}=\sqrt{576}=24

b) A value of 840 is a very unusual as is more than 2 standard deviations from the expected value of 900 (more exactly, at 2.5 standard deviations). Approximately 2% of the values are below 2 standars deviations from the mean.

Having 840 or less televisions tuned to "Eyewitness News" would have a probability of P=0.00621.

c) A value of 945 would be also unusual, but not as unusual as 840, as is between 1 and 2 standard deviation from the expected value.

Having 945 or more televisions tuned to "Eyewitness News" would have a probability of P=0.0304.

A snail can move 5 inches in 6 minutes. At this rate, how many feet can it move in 48 hours?
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

2400 inches or 2000 feet is the correct answer

there are 60 minuets in an hour, and 10 sets of 6 minuets, so you multiply 5 by ten to get 50

then you multiply 50 by 48 to get 2400

then you divide by 12 to get 2000 feet
