Answer:

12 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

let the heights of the plants be y

and the number of weeks be x

Plant A

y=3x+8.5--------------1

Plant B

y=2.5x+14.5----------2

Required

The number of weeks taken for both plants to have the same height

,equate the two expressions above

3x+8.5=2.5x+14.5

3x-2.5x=14.5-8.5

0.5x= 6

divide both sides by 0.5

x= 6/0.5

x= 12 weeks

The number of cases of a new disease can be modeled by the quadratic regression equation y = -2x^2 + 40x + 8. What is the best p
Stels [109]

Answer:

158 cases

Step-by-step explanation:

Given tbe quadratic regression model :

y = -2x^2 + 40x + 8

y = number of cases of a new disease

x = number of years

The predicted number of cases of a new disease in 15 years can be calculated thus ;

Put x = 15 in the equation ;

y = -2(15)^2 + 40(15) + 8

y = - 2 * 225 + 600 + 8

y = - 450 + 600 + 8

y = 158

158 cases

Suppose a jar contains 13 red marbles and 11 blue marbles. If you reach in the jar and pull out 2 marbles at random at the same
Alisiya [41]
I’d say around 75% or less

This is just an assumption considering that there are more red than blue but only trumps blue by 2. Taking out those two, you’d be left with a 50% chance of getting red and/or blue marbles
