Answer:
There's a proportion relationship between number of shell and their cost
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph is not given.
However, I've added the appropriate graph as an attachment.
From this, point....
I'll show that the cost and number of shells as given in the question are proportional.
Represent cost with y and number of shells with x
x = 2 when y = 0.8
x = 3 when y = 1.2
x = 4 when y = 1.6
Divide each value of y by x to get the constant of proportion (r).
r = y/x
r = 0.8/2 = 0.4
r = 1.2/3 = 0.4
r = 1.6/4 = 0.4
Notice that the values of r remain constant.
Hence, there's a proportion relationship between both
And what this rate represent is that:.the cost of shell changes at a constant rate when the number of shell is changes.

Answer:
Don't spin the barrel.
Step-by-step explanation:
Each time you spin the barrel, the probability A of finding a bullet, having two bullets in six chambers is:
For you to get shot in the second try but not the first, the barrel spin would have to stop precisely at one specific chamber: the one right before the bullets, so that probability would be:
which means that this event is half as likely as finding a bullet every time the barrel is spun. Your chances are better if you pull the trigger for the second time without spinning the barrel.
