Ok this inequality tells you the number of devices you can have before the new plan costs more than the old plan. The new plan expression is $4.50x + $94m = y ( total cost). The old plan is $175m = y (total cost). You can see m (number of months) in both equations, you don't need it this time since we're going to to compare both to one month. Since they're both equal to y you can make them equal to each other. $4.50x + $94 = $175. Now you want to figure when the new plan is less than the old plan you switch the equal sign for a less than sign. $4.50x + $94 < $175; this will help you find the inequality you want. From there just use algebraic steps to find that x has to less than 18 or
x < 18.
The same slope would make the equations parallel. Therefore 5/3 would make them parallel.
the answer is 0.2 or one fifths
1-2. The best estimate for the population mean would be sample mean of 60 gallons. Since we know that the sample mean is the best point of estimate. Since sample size n=16 is less than 25, we use the t distribution. Assume population from normal distribution.
3. Given a=0.1, the t (0.05, df = n – 1 = 15)=1.75
4. xbar ± t*s/vn = 60 ± 1.75*20/4 = ( 51.25, 68.75)
5. Since the interval include 63, it is reasonable.
0.45 i think just into fractions
