Answer:
a) The percentage of adults who smoke are decreasing with time. b) the equation that best described this data is y=-0.3364x+22.809 (R^2=0.859) in which y is the percentage of adults who smoke and x the number of years. c) the percentage of adults who smoke will be 19.8% and it will not meet the expected 12%, it would take 32 years to reach that value.
Step-by-step explanation:
The data can be plotted to which years is the independent variable and percentage of adults who smoke is the dependent variable. The linear trendline that described this data has a negative slope which indicates that the percentage of adults is decreasing with time. In order to determine if the OSH target is being met, the x is replaced by 9 which is the goal period of nine years. The y is 19% which is higher than the 12% goal. In order to know the period it will take to the reach the goal of 12%, the y is replaced by 12 in the curve and the x is the answer in years = 32 years.
Using the probability concept, it is found that the correct statements are given as follows:
- The number of possible outcomes is 8.
- P(vowel) + P(consonant) = 1.
<h3>What is a probability?</h3>
A probability is given by the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes</u>.
In this problem, there are eight letters, two of which are vowels and six of which are consonants.
Hence:
- P(consonant) = 6/8 = 3/4.
- P(vowel) + P(consonant) = 1/4 + 3/4 = 1.
E is one out eight letters, hence the probability is drawing the tile with E written on it is 1/8.

Answer:
x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Replace the x with y.
Making is x = y -2
Solve for x=y-2
and you get x+2
