Yes, for any value of "b" the value of the first expression is greater than the value of the second expression.
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute the given values of "b" into each expression and evaluate.
- For the first expression
, you get:
If
→ 
If
→ 
If
→ 
- For the second expression
, you get:
If
→ 
If
→ 
If
→ 
You can observe that for any value of "b" the value of the first expression is greater than the value of the second expression.
These quantities are related linearly with slope
3/2. without knowing the answer choices I can only give you examples of equations that fit
y-2=3/2(x-2). or y=3/2(x) -1
etc
Notice it is +/-4 times standard deviation (0.65-0.04 = 0.61, 0.69-0.04=0.65)
That's almost everything. So (D) is the answer.
