Answer:

 ≈ <em>3.4</em><em> </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Coordinates of the point that divide segment with endpoints A( x_{1} , y_{1} ) and B( x_{2} , y_{2} ) in a ratio a : b are

\frac{bx_{1} +ax_{2} }{a+b} , \frac{by_{1} +ay_{2} }{a+b} )

A(- 4, - 7)

B(8, - 4)

Ratio 8 : 5

x-coordinate is \frac{5(-4)+8(8)}{8+5} = \frac{44}{13} ≈ <em>3.4</em>

blsea [12.9K]

Complete question :

The table shows data collected on the relationship between time spent playing video games and time spent with family. The line of best fit for the data is ý = -0.36x + 94.5.

Video Games (Minutes) Time with Family (Minutes)

40 80

55 75

70 69

85 64

A) According to the line of best fit, the predicted number of minutes spent with family for someone who spent 36 minutes playing video games is 81.54.

B) Is it reasonable to use this line of best fit to make the above prediction?

Answer:

81. 54

4) The estimate, a predicted time of 81.54 minutes, is both reliable and reasonable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

The equation of best fit is defined as :

ý = -0.36x + 94.5.

A.) Predicted number of minutes spent with family (y) for someone who spends 36 minutes playing games (x) will be :

x = 36

From the model :

ý = -0.36(36) + 94.5

y = - 12.96 + 94.5

y = 81.54

Hence.nunber of minutes spent with family = 81.54 minutes.

B.) The correlation Coefficient for the model is - 0.9993, which indicates a very strong negative relationship between both variables. Hence, using this fact, we can conclude that the prediction is reliable. From the data also, spending 36 minutes playing games means such individual will have more time than someone who plays games for 40 minutes, hence, the prediction is also reasonable.

An amusement park sells child and adult tickets at a ratio of 3:1. On Saturday, they sold 63 adult tickets. How many child ticke
nalin [4]

Answer:

The number of child tickets sold by the amusement park is 189.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A represent the number of adult tickets and C represents the number of child tickets, therefore we have:

3:1 = C:A .................... (1)

Where;

C = ?

A = 63

Substituting for the value into equation (1), we have:

3:1 = C:63

This can be converted to solve for C as follows:

3 / (3 + 1) = C / (C + 63)

3 / 4 = C / (C + 63)

0.75 = C / (C + 63)

0.75(C + 63) = C

0.75C + (0.75 * 63) = C

0.75C + 47.25 = C

47.25 = C - 0.75C

47.25 = 0.25C

C = 47.25 / 0.25

C = 189

Therefore, the number of child tickets sold by the amusement park is 189.

What fraction represents 0.1875 ft?
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

There is not much that can be done to figure out how to write 0.1875 as a fraction, except to literally use what the decimal portion of your number, the .1875 , means. Since there are 5 digits in 1875 , the very last digit is the "100000th" decimal place. So we can just say that .1875 is the same as 1875/100000.
