Answer:
x = –1
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
y = √(–2x + 7)
y = 3
x =?
The value of x can be obtained as follow:
y = √(–2x + 7)
3 = √(–2x + 7)
Take the square of both side
3² = –2x + 7
9 = –2x + 7
Collect like terms
9 – 7 = –2x
2 = –2x
Divide both side by –2
x = 2 / –2
x = –1
Answer: F. Parameter, because the data set of all 2000 students in a high school is a population.
Step-by-step explanation:
Parameters is a variable or measure that is calculated from the entire population of data while a statistic is done from a sample of the data.
The question notes that the poll was done on <u>all 2,000</u> students in a high school. This means that the poll is a Parameter because it was done on the entire population of the high school.
Answer: Choice A
x+3y = 14
======================================================
Explanation:
The general template for standard form is Ax+By = C, where A,B,C are integers.
This immediately rules out choices C and D, since they don't fit the format mentioned.
To see which of A or B we can eliminate or confirm, plug (x,y) coordinates from the graph into each answer choice. The ultimate goal is to get a true statement.
For example, the graph shows that (x,y) = (2,4) is on the line. Plug this into choice A to get...
x+3y = 14
2+3(4) = 14
2+12 = 14
14 = 14 this is true
So far so good. The point (2,4) is on the line x+3y = 14. Repeat those steps for (-1, 5) and you should get another true result. So that would confirm choice A is the answer. You only need a minimum of two points to define a unique line, meaning we only need to verify two points on the line. Anything more is just extra busy work.
---------
If we tried (2,4) with choice B, then,
5x+3y = 14
5(2)+3(4) = 14
10+12 = 14
22 = 14 which is false
This indicates (2,4) is not on the line 5x+3y = 14. We can rule out choice B because of this.
