Answer:

(a) A = 0.00278787878787878x

(b) B = 0.00235294117647058x + 3

For buying by credit card

For 700 BWP: Cost = A = £1.95

For 800 BWP: Cost = A = £2.23

For 800 BWP: Cost = A = £2.79

For buying from a Bureau de Change

The equation (4) is used as follows:

For 700 BWP: Cost = B = £4.65

For 800 BWP: Cost = B = $4.88

For 1000 BWP: Cost = B = £5.35

(d) You would have to buy 6,897.54 pulas for the cost to be the same whether you use a credit card or cash.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) by credit card

For the exchange rate, we have:

8.25 BWP = £1 ⇒ 8.25 / 8.25 BWP = £1 / 8.25 = 1.00 BWP = £0.121212121212121

The expression can therefore be written as follows:

A = £0.121212121212121 * r * x ................. (1)

Where;

A = cost (including commission) of buying a particular number of Botswana pulas by credit card

r = commission on a credit card transaction = 2.3%, or 0.023

x = the number of pulas bought

Substituting for r into equation (1), we have:

A = £0.121212121212121 * 0.023 * x

A = 0.00278787878787878x ................. (2)

Equation (2) is the expression.

(b) from a Bureau de Change

For the exchange rate, we have

8.5 BWP = £1 ⇒ 8.5 / 8.5 BWP = £1 / 8.5 = 1.00 BWP = 0.117647058823529

B = (£0.117647058823529 * r * x) + F ................. (3)

Where;

B = cost (including commission) of buying a particular number of Botswana pulas by from a Bureau de Change.

r = commission charged by Bureau de Change. = 2%, or 0.02

x = the number of pulas bought

F = fee = £3

Substituting for r and F into equation (3), we have:

B = (£0.117647058823529 * 0.02 * x) + £3

B = 0.00235294117647058x + 3 ................. (4)

Equation (4) is the expression.

c. Evaluate each of these expressions for 700 BWP, 800 BWP, and 1000 BWP respectively.

For buying by credit card

The equation (2) is used as follows:

For 700 BWP: A = £0.00278787878787878 * 700 = £1.95

For 800 BWP: A = £0.00278787878787878 * 800 = £2.23

For 800 BWP: A = £0.00278787878787878 * 1000 = £2.79

For buying from a Bureau de Change

The equation (4) is used as follows:

For 700 BWP: B = (£0.00235294117647058 * 700) + £3 = £1.65 + £3 = £4.65

For 800 BWP: B = (£0.00235294117647058 * 800) + £3 = £1.88 + £3 = $4.88

For 1000 BWP: B = (£0.00235294117647058 * 1000) + £3 = £2.35 + £3 = £5.35

d. Hazard a guess as to the number of pulas you would have to buy for the cost to be the same whether you use a credit card or cash.

This can be calculated by equating equations (2) and (4) and then solve for x as follows:

0.00278787878787878x = 0.00235294117647058x + 3

0.00278787878787878x - 0.00235294117647058x = 3

x(0.00278787878787878 - 0.00235294117647058) = 3

x0.0004349376114082 = 3

x = 3 / 0.0004349376114082

x = 6,897.54 pulas

Therefore, you would have to buy 6,897.54 pulas for the cost to be the same whether you use a credit card or cash.

What is a correct statement about distribution?

There no outliers

The distribution is symmetric

The center is around 80

The distribution is unimodal

The spread is from 57 to 89.

Answer: The distribution is unimodal.

Step-by-step explanation: Stem Plot is an unique way of writing numbers in a table. Each value is split into a "stem" (first digit or digits) and a "leaf" (usually the last digit).

For the swim team practice, we have:

57, 59, 61, 62, 63, 64, 76, 76, 125

Note that, although there the digits 8, 9, 10, and 11, there no "leaves" for them, so, the values are not part of the distribution.

Outlier is a value that lies outside most of other values. In the distribution there is the value 125 which is very much more than other values, i.e., it is an outlier, so, alternative "There no outliers" is false;

Ploting the values on a frequency graph, it shows a curve skewed to the right, i.e., deslocated to the right, then, it is not symmetric. Second alternative is false.

The center of the distribution is the middle value, which is 63, then, third statement is false.

The spread of this distribution is from 57 to 125, so fifth statement is incorrect.

An unimodal distribution is a distribution which has only one clear peak or most frequent value. At the swim team distribution, the value that appears more than once is 76, so the peak is at that value. The other values appears just once, so distribution has only one peak. Fourth statement is correct.

It seems as if it adds 2 blocks to the bottom end each time, and 1 to the top.

So, it would be a t-shape with those rules
