Answer:

(a) The constant of proportionality is 0.25

(b) 1 apple = $0.25

(c) $3 = 12 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

c= 0.25n

Solving (a): The constant of proportionality;

For an equation:

c=kn

Where

k = constant of proportionality

By comparing: c=kn to c= 0.25n

k = 0.25

Hence, the constant of proportionality is 0.25

Solving (b): What information does k = 0.25 gives.

It represents the unit rate.

<em>So, it means that 1 apple costs $0.25</em>

<em></em>

Solving (c): Number of apples for $3.

This means that c = 3

Substitute 3 for c in c= 0.25n

3 = 0.25n

Make n the subject

n = \frac{3}{0.25}

n = 12

Suppose that you need to create a list of n values that have a specific known mean. Some of the n values can be freely selected.
Leno4ka [110]

As the problem indicates, degrees of freedom are the number of values ​​that can be independently selected before it is necessary to choose specific values ​​to arrive at the desired result.

The average, on the other hand, results from the sum of a list of values ​​divided by the amount of values ​​in the summed list.

Assume that the mean sought is x and consider that the list is composed of a single element a, in that case no random number can be selected, since the mean x must correspond to that number.

If the list were composed of two elements a and b, one of the two values ​​could be chosen randomly, and according to the chosen value the second should be the one whose sum with the previous one results in 2x, this given that the formula of the average \sum\limits_{i=1}^n \frac{ x_{i}}{n}.

With three values ​​a, b and c, it is possible to select two freely, since the thirteen must be the one that balances the sum of a+b, that is (a + b) + c = 3x.

Thus, in general, with n values, it is possible to select n-1 values ​​freely whose sum must be balanced by the last value so that the whole sum is nx.

Answer

In a list of \bf{n} values ​​you can assign \bf{n-1} values ​​freely, that is, you have n-1<em>degrees of freedom.</em>

Which expressions are equivalent to (7^-2)*(7^6)
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

(7^-2)*(7^6)=7^-2+6

......since the base 7 is the same, when u multiply them, you should add the exponents and keep 7 as it is. That will be 7^4, which in equivalent to ans D(7^2)^2.
