In an area of the Midwest, records were kept on the relationship between the rainfall (in inches) and the yield of wheat (bushel
Liula [17]

Answer:

Option A is correct.

y = 35.4 bushels per acre when rainfall = 7.1 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

An image of the steps to obtain the equation that relates x to y is attached to this answer.

n = number of variables = 9

μₓ = mean of variable x (rainfall in inches)

μᵧ = mean of variable y (yield in bushels per acre)

σₓ = standard deviation of variable x (rainfall in inches)

σᵧ = standard deviation of variable y (yield in bushels per acre)

y = 4.379x + 4.268

when x = 7.1

y = 4.379(7.1) + 4.268 = 35.3589 = 35.4 bushels per acre.

Bens teacher ask him to write a three- digit number that uses the digit 3 once and the digit 6 twice. The value of one 6 needs t
nata0808 [166]
We have three numbers to arrange so that 6 is 1/10 of the value of the other six.

Since position tells us whether we're talking about single, tens, hundreds, thousands (e.g. 25 is two times 10 plus five times 1) we know that the two sixes must be next to each other.

This leaves us with two options.
663 or 366.

In each of these cases the second 6 in the number is one tenth of the first 6.

If we look at the only other option: 636 we see that the second 6 is one hundredth of the value of the first 6.
