Answer:

1210 acres

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

let the old farmland be x acres

new farmland = 968 acres

therefore

let us find 20% of the old farmland

=20/100x

=0.2x

Hence

968+0.2x=x

collect like terms

968=x-0.2x

968=0.8x

x= 968/0.8

x=1210 acres

For the dinner special at a restaurant, the customer must choose an appetizer, a salad, an entree, a side dish, and a dessert. H
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

The number of possible dinner specials are 4368.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of dinner specials = 5

They include appetizer, a salad, an entree, a side dish, and a dessert.

Possible items to choose from = 16.

They are 1. Appetizer Chicken strips, 2. Shrimp cocktail, 3. Buffalo wings, 4. Potato skins, 5. Salad Garden, 6. Caesar Entree T-bone steak, 7. Pot roast, 8. Lamb Side dish Corn, 9. Rice, 10. French fries, 11. Baked potato, 12. Pinto beans, 13. Dessert Chocolate cake, 14. Brownies, 15. Ice cream, 16. Apple pie

This is a combination problem requiring a combination solution with the following formula and steps:

C (n, r) =? C (n, r) = ?

n choose r

n (objects) =  16

r (sample) =  5

C (n, r) =? C (n, r) = ?

C (n, r) =C (14,5) C (n, r) =C (16,5)

=16! (5! (16−5)!) =16! (5! (16−5)!)

= 4368

A researcher collects data on the relationship between the amount of daily exercise an individual gets and the percent body fat
fredd [130]

Answer: approximately 24

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to plot a regression line.

So we fit a model using the regression of Y on X, that an equation that predict Y for a given X using:

(Y -mean(Y ))= a(X-meanX)...........1

Where the formular of a is given the attachment.

N= the of individuals = 5

Y = amount of fat

X = time of exercise

mean(X )= sum of all X /N

= 131/5 = 26.2

mean(Y) = sum of all Y/N

= 104/5 = 20.8

a = N(SXY) - (SX)(SY)/ NS(X²) -(SX)²......2

SXY = Sum of Product X and Y

SX= sum of all X

SY = Sum of all Y

S(X²)= sum of all X²

(SX) = square of sum of X

a = -0.478

Hence we substitute into 1

Y-20.8 = -0.478 (X-26.2)

Y -20.8 = -0.478X - 12.524

Y = -0.478X + 33.324 or

Y = 33.324 - 0.478X (model)

When X = 20

Y = 33.324 - 0.478 × 20

Y = 33.324 - 9.56

Y = 23. 764

Y =24(approximately)

Carefully meaning of formula used in attachment to the solution they are the same.

50 POINTS!!! WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!! CORRECT ANSWERS PLS 1 HOUR LEFT
Brut [27]

Answer:

○ 3

○ y + ½ = 3(x - 2)

○ Multiply both sides of the equation by 3. The Standard Form of the equation is 12x - 2y = 24.

○ 5x - 3y = 15

○ y = ½x + 5⁄2

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the <em>rate</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>change</em><em> </em>[<em>slope</em>]:

-y₁ + y₂\-x₁ + x₂ = m → (-1, 1) and (-2, -2)

\frac{2 + 1}{2 - 1} = 3

__________________________________________________________

According to the Point-Slope Formula, <em>y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)</em>, all the negative symbols give the OPPOSITE terms of what they really are, so be EXTREMELY CAREFUL inserting this coordinate into the formula with their CORRECT SIGNS:

(2, -½) → y + ½ = 3(x - 2)

__________________________________________________________

We do not want fractions in our Standard Equation, so multiply by the denominator to get rid of it:

-3[4x - ⅔y = 8] → -12x + 2y = -24

** They should have multiplied by -3 instead of 3 because that negative is hooked up to everything in the fraction, but since the exercise gave you 12x - 2y = 24, go with 12x - 2y = 24.

__________________________________________________________

If you would take a look at this graph real closely, you will see that this graph intersects the y-axis and x-axis at ENDPOINTS, so to find the x-intercept, you simply plug in <em>zero</em> for <em>y</em>: 5x = 15, and you will know right away that <em>x</em><em> </em>is set to equal 3, which is what you see in the graph, (3, 0). Now, to find the y-intercept, you simply plug in <em>zero</em><em> </em>for <em>x</em>: -3y = 15, and you will know right away that <em>y</em><em> </em>is set to equal -5, which is what you see on the graph as well, (0, -5). With that being said, you have your answer.

__________________________________________________________

y - 3 = ½(x - 1)

y - 3 = ½x - ½

+ 3 + 3

_____________

y = ½x + 2½

* 2½ = 5⁄2

White raven [17]

Answer:

a. 1.0833

Absolute Error = 0.416667

Relative Error = 1.250002

b. 0.0011070

Absolute Error = 0.0011070

Relative Error = 0.003321

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

1/3 = 0.333333

3/4 = 0.75

100/301 = 0.332226

a.

1/3 + 3/4

= 0.333333 + 0.75

= 1.083333

= 1.0833 ------ Approximated to 5 significant digits

Absolute Error = |Real Value - Estimated Value|

Relative Error = Absolute Error/Real Value

Assume 1/3 to be the real value and 3/4 to be the estimated value

Absolute Error = |0.333333 - 0.75|

Absolute Error = |-0.416667|

Absolute Error = 0.416667

Relative Error = 0.416667/0.333333

Relative Error = 1.250002

b.

1/3 - 100/301

= 0.333333 - 0.332226

= 0.001107

= 0.0011070 ----- Approximated to 5 significant digits

Assume 1/3 to be real value and 100/301 to be estimated value

Absolute Error = 0.333333 - 0.332226

Absolute Error = 0.0011070

Relative Error = 0.0011070/0.333333

Relative Error = 0.003321

Absolute and relative errors are approximation errors and they are due to the discrepancy between an exact value and some approximation to them.

The absolute error is the magnitude of the difference between the exact value and the approximation. The relative error is the absolute error divided by the magnitude of the exact value
