Answer:

$125 per year

Step-by-step explanation:

In the 2 years from 2015 to 2017, the spending on lunches increased by ...

$800 -550 = $250

That is an average per year of ...

$250/(2 yr) = $125/yr . . . . average dollar increase per year

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

For costs, it is often true that they follow an exponential curve, not a linear one. Ed's spending increased by a factor of 800/550 = 16/11 in the two years, so an average percentage increase of √(16/11) -1 = 20.6% per year.

Answer:

$\boxed{\boxed{x=\dfrac{\pi}{3}\ \vee\ x=\pi\ \vee\ x=\dfrac{5\pi}{3}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\cos(3x)=-1\iff3x=\pi+2k\pi\qquad k\in\mathbb{Z}\\\\\text{divide both sides by 3}\\\\x=\dfrac{\pi}{3}+\dfrac{2k\pi}{3}\\\\x\in[0,\ 2\pi)$

$\text{for}\ k=0\to x=\dfrac{\pi}{3}+\dfrac{2(0)\pi}{3}=\dfrac{\pi}{3}+0=\boxed{\dfrac{\pi}{3}}\in[0,\ 2\pi)\\\\\text{for}\ k=1\to x=\dfrac{\pi}{3}+\dfrac{2(1)\pi}{3}=\dfrac{\pi}{3}+\dfrac{2\pi}{3}=\dfrac{3\pi}{3}=\boxed{\pi}\in[0,\ 2\pi)\\\\\text{for}\ k=2\to x=\dfrac{\pi}{3}+\dfrac{2(2)\pi}{3}=\dfrac{\pi}{3}+\dfrac{4\pi}{3}=\boxed{\dfrac{5\pi}{3}}\in[0,\ 2\pi)\\\\\text{for}\ k=3\to x=\dfrac{\pi}{3}+\dfrac{2(3)\pi}{3}=\dfrac{\pi}{3}+\dfrac{6\pi}{3}=\dfrac{7\pi}{3}\notin[0,\ 2\po)$

What is a 96% confidence interval for the proportion of weight-lifting injuries in this age group that were accidental?

loris [4]

<span>A 96% confidence interval means that 96% of the time you can believe that the result will fall into a range of numbers. In the case of weight lifting this would mean that 96% of the time, the proportion of weight-lifting injuries were accidental would fall in between the two parameters set forth.</span>
