Answer:

The point 40 refers to the y-intercept of the linear model

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the equation, we can conclude that it is the equation of a straight line or a linear equation.

What this means is that it follows the general form of the equation of a straight line which is

y = mx + c

where m is the slope and c refers to the y-intercept

when we say the y-intercept, we mean the point at which the straight line plot crosses the y-axis at which x = 0

Extrapolating this, we mean the term 40 in the model refers to the y-intercept of the given linear equation

it is at the point 40 that the straight line crosses the or touches the y-axis.

Also at this point, the value of x = 0

The two dot plots below compare the forearm lengths of two groups of schoolchildren:

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Group A, because seven children have a forearm length longer than 10 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Create the dot plots based on the given information (please see attached images).

Group A = blue dots

Group B = red dots

From inspection of the attached dot plots, we can see that Group A appears to have the longer average forearm length. This is because 7 children have a forearm length of longer than 10 inches.

To calculate the average forearm length, sum all data values and divide by the total number of data values.

$\textsf{Average of Group A}=\dfrac{ 3 \times 10 + 4 \times 11 + 3 \times 12}{10}=11$

$\textsf{Average of Group B}=\dfrac{ 3 \times 9 + 5\times 10+ 2\times 11}{10}=9.9$

Thus proving that Group A has the longer average former length.

Answer:

5.61×10^8 ton/day

Step-by-step explanation:

(2.08×10^5 ft³/s)·(8.64×10^4 s/day)·(6.24×10^1 lb/ft³)/(2×10^3 lb/ton)

= (2.08·8.64·6.24/2)×10^(5+4+1-3) ton/day

≈ 56.07×10^7 ton/day

≈ 5.61×10^8 ton/day
