Jesse collects data on his math scores on the last 12 tests and the number of hours he spent completing his math homework assign

ments and studying in the week before every test. He creates a scatter plot to show the data. The regression line shown on the graph best models the data on the scatter plot.
Based on the given model, how many hours in the week before the test does Jesse need to study to get a score of 90 on the test? Round your answer to the nearest hour.

Answer:

  • 24 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the two points on the regression line, let's find its equation.

<u>Points:</u>

  • (0, 30) and (8, 50)

<u>The slope:</u>

  • (50 - 30)/8 = 2.5

<u>The y-intercept is </u>

  • 30

<u>The equation:</u>

  • y = 2.5x + 30

<u>Solve for x if y = 90</u>

  • 90 = 2.5x + 30
  • 2.5x = 60
  • x = 60/2.5
  • x = 24

The answer is 24 hours

makkiz [27]

Hi, Siyasi2 ! Let x = the number of hot dogs, y = the number of chips, and z = the number of drinks. Then we know:

 

5x + 4y + 5z = 15.75

x = y + 0.75

z = 2x - 1

 

Let's substitute the 3rd equation into the first one.  

 

5x + 4y + 5(2x - 1) = 15.75

5x + 4y+ 10x - 5 = 15.75

15x + 4y = 20.75

 

Now, let's re-write the 2nd equation as x - y = 0.75

 

We now have a system of two equations with two unknowns.

 

15x + 4y = 20.75

x - y = 0.75

 

To solve this, we can multiply the bottom equation by 4 and add.

 

15x + 4y = 20.75

+ 4(x - y = 0.75)

 

19x = 23.75

or x = 1.25

 

If x = 1.25, then using the one of the equations above, we can solve for y.

x - y = 1.25 - y = 0.75

.50 = y

 

Since z = 2x - 1, then z = 2(1.25) - 1 = 2.5 - 1 = 1.50

 

So, a hot dog is $1.25, chips are 50 cents, and a soft drink is $1.50. Please let me know if you have any questions.

What's the difference between a relation and a function
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

A relation is a set of inputs and outputs that are related in some way. When each input in a relation has exactly one output, the relation is said to be a function. To determine if a relation is a function, we make sure that no input has more than one output.
