Answer:

C(d) = \frac{1}{5}d + 320

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

d \to miles

C \to cost

So:

(d_1,C_1) = (500,420) --- May

(d_2,C_2) = (620,444) --- June

Required

Express as a function

Start by calculating the slope (m)

m = \frac{\triangle C}{\triangle d}

m = \frac{444-420}{620-500}

m = \frac{24}{120}

Simplify

m = \frac{1}{5}

The equation is:

C(d) = m(d - d_1) +C_1

C(d) = \frac{1}{5}(d - 500) +420

C(d) = \frac{1}{5}d - 100 +420

Take LCM

C(d) = \frac{1}{5}d + 320

Richard’s checking account balance was $57.34 at the beginning of the week. During the week, he recorded the transactions below.
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

US$ 132.45

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachment for the missing table.

Given:

Richard’s checking account balance at the beginning of the week = $57.34

<u>Richard’s account balance at the end of the week from the given table:</u>

Deposits of the week = US$ 163.75

Expenses of the week = Groceries + Credit card bill + Gas

Expenses of the week = 25.37 + 50 + 13.27

Expenses of the week = US$ 88.64

Richard’s account balance at the end of the week = Richard’s checking account balance at the beginning of the week + Deposits of the week - Expenses of the week

Replacing with the real values:

Richard’s account balance at the end of the week = 57.34 + 163.75 - 88.64

                                                                                    =US$ 132.4

To investigate the relationship between amount of sales y (in thousands of dollars) and the amount x (in hundreds of dollars) sp
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

(A) For each additional hundred dollars spent on advertising, sales are predicted to increase by $2,380.

Step-by-step explanation:

Regression isa statistical equation, denoting relationship between independent (causal) variable(s) & dependent (effected) variable.

y = a <u>+</u> bx

where y = dependent variable, x = dependent variable, a (intercept) = autonomous value of y, b (slope) = change in y due to change in x

Regression equation of independent variable (x) as advertising expenditure & dependent variable (y) sales : y = 24.45 + 2.38x

Sales are in thousands of dollars, advertising expenditure is in hundreds of dollars. So, the interpretations are :

  • Intercept interpretation : When there is zero advertising expenditure, sales are 24.45 thousands i.e $24450
  • Slope Interpretation :<u> When advertisement expenditure change (rise) by 1 hundred, sales change (rise) by 2.38 thousand i.e</u><u> </u><u>$2380</u>
