Wayne Gretzky scored 50% more points than anyone else who ever played professional Hockey during his 20 seasons in the National Hockey League. He accomplished this amazing feat while playing in 280 fewer games than Gordy Howe, who is the previous record holder. The number of games he played during each season:
79,80,80,80,74 ,80,80,79,64,78,73,78,74,45,81,48,80,82,82,70.
a) The stem and leaf plot for the data can be comfortably obtained from the excel option as follows: XL STAT option in excel as follows:
1. In excel sheet choose XL STAT
2. Then in that choose the visualizing data- uni-variate plots.
3. In univariate plot – chart -select the stem and leaf plot.
4. In quantitative data select the data set and click ok.
A summary of the statistics and a stem and leaf plot can be obtained as follows.
y = ( 3 * x ) - 2.
This is because the card costs for 3 $ and should be multiplied by the number of total cards she buys in that particular day. So 3 * x.
Now as she has got a 2$ off coupon, whatever the total is she gets 2 dollars off on that price. So we will subtract 2 at that time. FInally all this summed up would be equal to y.
Answer:
C. solution:
3(3c-2) = 5(2c-1)
or, 9c-6 = 10c-5
or, -6+5 =<em> </em>10c-9c
or, -1 = 1c
Hence, c = -1.
D. solution:
5(5-2a) = 4(6-a)
or, 25-10a = 24 - 4a
or, 25-24 = -4a+10a
or, 1 = 6a
or, 1/6 = a
Hence, a = 1/6.
Cross multiplication!
=
7 × 24 = 8x
168 = 8x
Divide both sides by 8 to isolate x
=
8 and 8 cancels out
21 = x
