Part 1) Use the fact that there are 12 inches in a foot

a) How many inches tall is a 7 foot basketball player?

we know that

1 foot=12 inches

so by proportion

$\frac{12}{1} \frac{inches}{foot} =\frac{x}{7} \frac{inches}{feet} \\ \\x=12*7\\ \\x=84\ inches$

therefore

the answer Part 1a) is

$84\ inches$

Part b) If a yard is a 3 feet long, how many inches are in a yard?

we know that

1 yard=3 feet

1 foot=12 inches

so

Convert 3 feet to inches

by proportion

$\frac{12}{1} \frac{inches}{foot} =\frac{x}{3} \frac{inches}{feet} \\ \\x=12*3\\ \\x=36\ inches$

therefore

the answer Part 1b) is

$36\ inches$

Part 2) At the farmer's market two pounds of peaches cost $4.20 How much will five pounds cost?

by proportion

$\frac{4.20}{2} \frac{\$}{pounds} =\frac{x}{5} \frac{\$}{pounds} \\ \\2*x=4.2*5\\ \\x=4.2*5/2=\$10.5$

therefore

the answer Part 2) is

$\$10.5$

Part 3) Janice mother gave her a ten dollars bill to buy five pounds each of bananas and apples at the grocery store. When she got there she found that bananas were 80 c per pound and apples were $1.40 per pound.

Did Janice's mother give her enough money? If so, should she receive any change? If not, how much more money does she need?

we know that

Find the cost of the bananas

$5\ pounds*0.80\frac{\$}{pounds}=\$4$

Find the cost of the apples

$5\ pounds*1.40\frac{\$}{pounds}=\$7$

Sum the cost of the bananas and the cost of the apples

$\$4+\$7=\$11$

$\$11 > \$10$ ------> Janice's mother didn't give her enough money

She needs more money

She needs-------> $\$11-\$10=\$1$

therefore

the answer part 3) is

She needs $\$1$ more

"Data from the World Health Organization in 2013 were used to predict the life expectancy of men in a country from the life expe

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

The predicted life expectancy of men in a country in which the life expectancy of women is 70 years is 65.33 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The least square regression line is used to predict the value of the dependent variable from an independent variable.

The general form of a least square regression line is:

$\hat y=\alpha +\beta x$

Here,

y = dependent variable

x = independent variable

α = intercept

β = slope

The regression line to predict the life expectancy of men in a country from the life expectancy of women in that country is:

$\hat y=3.73 +0.88 x$

Compute the life expectancy of men in a country in which the life expectancy of women is 70 years as follows:

$\hat y=3.73 +0.88 x$

$=3.73 +(0.88\times 70)\\=3.73+61.6\\=65.33$

Thus, the predicted life expectancy of men in a country in which the life expectancy of women is 70 years is 65.33 years.
