Answer:

<h2>C. 5.2°F per month</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change refers to the relation between these variables.

Specifically, this problem can be modeled by a linear function, where the slope is the average rate of change.

So, such rate can be defined as

r=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2} -x_{1} }

Where (x_{1} ,y_{1} ) is the first pair and (x_{2} ,y_{2} ) is the second one.

In this case, the first pair is (3,66.8) and the second pair is (6,82.4). Replacing these coordinates, we have

r=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2} -x_{1} }=\frac{82.4-66.8}{6-3}=\frac{15.6}{3}=5.2

Which is expressed in Fahrenheit.

Therefore, the average rate of change is 5.2 °F.

This can be interpreted as "The temperature changes +5.2 °F each month between March 15 and June 15".

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a stem and leaf plot. If you don't know what a stem and leaf plot is, try searching it before coming back and viewing the solution. I also see an "example" button. It might help to hit that too.

First, we sort the list of numbers. Here is what we get:

64, 66, 67, 68, 69, 74, 75, 76, 78, 79

Here, the stems are the tens digits and the leaves are the ones digits.

Therefore, for the stem 6, the leaves are:

4, 6, 7, 8, 9

For the stem 7, the leaves are:

4, 5, 6, 8, 9

The answer, I believe, is C

The expressions 100×10 and the more complicated

(100 - 4a)(10 + a)

are calculating annual (expected) revenue.  In 100×10 the 100 is the number of decks and the 10 is the price per deck.  In (100 - 4a)(10 + a) the 100-4a is the number of decks and the 10+a is the price per deck.  So a must be the amount the price increases.

Answer: amount of price increase, last choice

A) 0.2076
B) 0.6786
C) 0.3214

Explanation:
A) P(X=5)=_8C_5(0.75)^5 \times(1-0.75)^{8-5}&#10;\\&#10;\\=_8C_5(0.75)^5 \times (0.25)^3=0.2076
B) We find the probability that X=6, 7, or 8:
P(X=6)=_8C_6(0.75)^6(0.25)^2=0.3115&#10;\\&#10;\\P(X=7)=_8C_7(0.75)^7(0.25)^1=0.267&#10;\\&#10;\\P(X=8)=_8C_8(0.75)^8(0.25)^0=0.1001&#10;\\&#10;\\0.3115+0.267+0.1001=0.6786
C) P(X≤5) = 1-P(X>5) = 1-0.6786 = 0.3214
