The constant of proportionality represents the unit cost .You use the equation y = 8.5 x to calculate the total cost y in dollars for x in what ever you are buying
Answer: See the full explanation.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can actually do this using various life scenario. Let me help you with this example.
Suppose that one person is called Mike and he needs to buy something, here is your scenario for Mike to get what he want:
Mike wants to buy a pair of shoes that worth 37$ for a soccer game next week. He only has 5$ in his wallet. In order to get the remaining money, he decides to work in a market for a day. If the market pay 8$ per hour, how many hours does Mike need to have enough money to buy the shoes?.
This is the real life scenario. The equation is as above, because you can call "x" the number of hours needed, so as you solve the equation, you'll realize that the number of hours needed is 4:
8x + 5 = 37
8x = 37 - 5
8x = 32
x = 32/8 = 4 hours needed.
You just move left 7 on the X-Axis
There are two ways you could go about solving this.
You could divide the length of the base (6mm) by 2 and use that to find the area or you could find the area of the whole triangle using 6mm and divide that by 2.
I will use the first method I described:
base = 6/2
base = 3 mm
height = 5.2 mm
area = bh/2
area = (3 * 5.2)/2
area = 7.8 square mm
(don't forget your units)
Using the other method would look like this:
area = bh/2
b = 6
h = 5.2
area = (6 * 5.2)/2
area = 15.6 square mm
area/2 = 7.8 square mm
As you can see either method yields the same result.
Hope this helped.
Cheers and good luck,

Answer: a. The interval in percentage is (23.46% , 30.76%)
b. No
Step-by-step explanation: To determine the confidence interval of a proportion, first find the percentage of yellow in that population:
phat = 
phat = 0.2711
The level α is 95%
1 - α = 0.05
α/2 = 0.025
As the population is bigger than 30, use z-test.
According to the table, z-score for α/2 = 0.025 is z = 1.96
The error for the interval is:
E = z.
E = 1.96.
E = 1.96*0.01865
E = 0.0365
The lower and higher limits of the interval are:
phat - E = 0.2711 - 0.0365 = 23.46%
phat + E = 0.2711 + 0.0365 = 30.76%
In conclusion, the 95% confidence interval to estimate the percentage of yellow is (23.46%,30.76%)
b. No, because 25% is inside the interval meaning that it doesn't contradict the expectations.
