18 + 14 + 14 = 46 oz
Then there are 16 oz in a pound so we take 46 oz ÷ 16 oz and we get 46/16 in fraction form. Then we simplify this out and get 2 7/8 pounds.
Step 1: Find the slope:

This gives you
, but we need to find b.
To find b, substitute in one (x,y) pair and it doesn't matter which one. I'll go with (4,-2):
![\begin{aligned}-2&=-\dfrac{3}{2}(4)+b\\[0.5em]-2&=-6+b\\[0.5em]4&=b\end{aligned}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Baligned%7D-2%26%3D-%5Cdfrac%7B3%7D%7B2%7D%284%29%2Bb%5C%5C%5B0.5em%5D-2%26%3D-6%2Bb%5C%5C%5B0.5em%5D4%26%3Db%5Cend%7Baligned%7D)
Now take that b-value and plug in into the slope-intercept form:

It's always a good idea to toss in the other x-value from the other point, to make sure it checks out.
Answer:
A. no, not independent
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A = "father born in Michigan" and B = "mother born in Michigan".
If A and B are independent, then ...
P(A|B) = P(A)
The table tells us ...
P(A|B) = P(A&B)/P(B) = 0.29/0.73 ≈ 0.397
and
P(A) = 0.48
Since 0.48 ≠ 0.397, we must conclude that the events are not independent.

Answer:
Third option. 
Step-by-step explanation:
For this exercise you need to remember one of the properties for exponents.
There is a property called the "Negative property of exponents" which states the following:
Where 
As you can observe,
is the reciprocal of 
In this case you have the following expression given in the exercise:

Observe the expression. As you can notice, the base "n" has a negative exponent, which is -6.
Therefore, applying the Negative property of exponents explained at the beginning of this explanation, you can simplify the expression.
Then, the simplified form of
is the one shown below:
