Answer:

d. y=5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line parallel to the x-axis will always be in the form y=b, where b is the y-intercept (where on the y-axis the line crosses). So, for y=5, the line crosses the y-axis when y is equal to 5.

The equation of a line parallel to the y-axis will always be in the form x=d, where d is the x-intercept (where on the x-axis the line crosses). So, for option a, x=5, it is a vertical line that crosses the x-axis when x is equal to 5. It is therefore not parallel to the x-axis.

Option b gives an equation that isn't for a linear relation entirely.

Linear equations are typically given in the form y=mx+b, where m is the slope of the line and b is, again, the y-intercept. Option c presents the equation of y=x, and this can be rewritten as y=1x+0. In other words, the slope of the line is 1 and it crosses the y axis when y is equal to 0. Lines that are parallel to the x-axis will always have a slope of 0, so therefore, this line is not parallel to the x-axis.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

Table A and Graph A

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached tables and graphs.

Table A gives the ordered pairs (1,2), (2,4) and (3,6).

Take the first two pairs of points.

The equation of the straight line passing through those points will be

$\frac{y - 4}{4 - 2} = \frac{x - 2}{2 - 1}$

⇒ y = 2x

Therefore, the table A represents the equation y= 2x.

Now, as shown in graph A, the points (0,0) and (1,2) and (2,4) through which this equation of straight line passes.

Therefore, the equation y = 2x is represented by graph A.

Hence, Table A and Graph A are the answers.

The weights of the chocolate in Hershey Kisses are normally distributed with a mean of 4.5338 g and a standard deviation of 0.10

dusya [7]

The distribution is not a standard normal distribution.

We know that the variable (X) usually obeys and follows a standard normal distribution provided that the summation of (X) is zero and the variance of the random variable V(X) = 1.

Mathematically:

E(X) = 0 and V(X) = 1

Given that;

the mean which follows a normal distribution (X) = 4.5338 g, and
the standard deviation SD(X) = 0.1039 g

As such, the distribution is not a standard normal distribution.

Therefore, we can conclude that the distribution is not a standard normal distribution.
