Answer:

a) not proportional

b) proportional; k = $-\frac{3}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

a) for any proportional equation, the line must pass through the origin. The equation in a) is y = 4x + 1, and the '+1' is the y-intercept. This means that the line does not pass through the origin, so x and y cannot increase by the same amount (i.e. they are not proportional).

Another way to determine this is is to use the y = kx base. If you have an equation that fits that it's likely proportional.

Here, if the equation was only y = 4x then it'd be proportional because u can see that k = 4. This is not the equation though, and the 4x + 1 doesn't fit to the y = kx formula so it can't be proportional.

b) straight away you can see that there's no 'c' term (y = mx + c) which means the y-intercept is 0, so the line passes through the origin. While this does not immediately mean the line is proportional, you can make sure that it is by checking it fits with the y = kx equation.

y = -(3/5)x fits with y = kx, with k being -3/5

Phones-R-Us charges $16.95 per month and $0.05 per text message. Awesome Wireless charges $22.95 per

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

$S \leq 200$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Phone R-Us= $16.95 + $0.05 per SMS

Awesome Wireless = $22.95 + $0.02 per SMS

Required

Determine the number of SMS such that Awesome Wireless is greater or equal to Phone R-Us

Represent the SMS with S

For Phone R-Us, we have:

$SMS = 16.95 + 0.05S$

For Awesome Wireless, we have:

$SMS = 22.95 + 0.02S$

For Awesome Wireless is greater or equal to Phone R-Us, we have:

$22.95 + 0.02S \geq 16.95 + 0.05S$

Collect Like Terms

$0.02S - 0.05S \geq 16.95 - 22.95$

$-0.03S \geq -6$

Solve for S

$\frac{-0.03S}{-0.03} \geq \frac{-6}{-0.03}$

$S \leq 200$

Hence: for Awesome Wireless to cost more or equal to Phone R-Us, the number of SMS must not exceed 200

An investor bought an antique table for $6000. He paid 5% as a deposit and borrowed the remainder from a bank for two years at 1

Sloan [31]

First lets get rid of the deposit.
(0.95*6000)=5700

Formula is I=PRT
I= Interest earned
P=Principal amount (5700)
R=Rate (18% or 0.18 or 18/100)
T=Time period (2 years)
Equation:
I= 5700*2*0.18
I= 2052
But remember the question asks for monthly payments!
2052/24 (12 months in a year and T= 2 years)
Answer=$85.50

Watching TV: In 2012, the General Social Survey asked a sample of 1326 people how much time they spent watching TV each day. The

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

We fail to reject H₀ as there is insufficient evidence at 0.5% level of significance to conclude that the mean hours of TV watched per day differs from the claim.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a two-tailed test.

We first need to calculate the test statistic. The test statistic is calculated as follows:

Z_calc = X - μ₀ / (s /√n)

where

X is the mean number of hours
μ₀ is the mean that the sociologist claims is true
s is the standard deviation
n is the sample size

Therefore,

Z_calc = (3.02 - 3) / (2.64 /√(1326))

= 0.2759

Now we have to calculate the z-value. The z-value is calculated as follows:

z_α/2 = z_(0.05/2) = z_0.025

Using the p-value method:

P = 1 - α/2

= 1 - 0.025

= 0.975

Thus, using the positive z-table, you will find that the z-value is

1.96.

Therefore, we reject H₀ if | Z_calc | > z_(α/2)

Thus, since

| Z_calc | < 1.96, we fail to reject H₀ as there is insufficient evidence at 0.5% level of significance to conclude that the mean hours of TV watched per day differs from the claim.
