Answer:

C.   37.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table, we know that the relative frequency of Contractors that prefer Glossy finish is 0.18, and the frequency of Contractors is 0.48. Therefore, contractors who prefer the glossy finish represent 0.18/0.48 = 0.375 or 0.375*100 = 37.5% of the total people surveyed.

Solution:

                       Matte Satin    Glossy Total

Homeowners 0.08 0.20 0.24 0.52

Contractors 0.04 0.26 0.18         0.48

Total         0.12         0.46 0.42   1

Approximately what percentage of contractors prefer the glossy finish?

Answer: Percentage of contractors who prefer the glossy finish is:

\frac{0.18}{0.48}=0.375
 or 37.5\%

Therefore, the option D. 37.5% is correct

A single tree produces about 2.6 × 10² lb of oxygen each year. The Amazon rainforest has about 3.9 X 10^11 trees.
Ymorist [56]
(2.6\times10^2) \times (3.9\times10^{11}) = 1.014\times10^{14}

1.014\times10^{14} <---How much is produced by all the trees in a year. 
They want how much each day so divide by 365


\frac{1.014\times10^{14}}{365} = 2.77808\times10^{11}
2.77808\times10^{11} <---answer per day

Find the equation of line b described below, in slope-intercept form
Serjik [45]

Given:

Line a is perpendicular to line b .

Line a passes through the points (1,-8) and (9,-12) .

Line b passes through the point (-8, -16).

To find:

The equation of b.

Solution:

Line a passes through the points (1,-8) and (9,-12) . So, slope of line a is

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m_a=\dfrac{-12-(-8)}{9-1}

m_a=\dfrac{-12+8}{8}

m_a=\dfrac{-4}{8}

m_a=-\dfrac{1}{2}

Product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1.

m_a\times a_b=-1

-\dfrac{1}{2}\times a_b=-1

b=2

Slope of line b is 2.

If a line passing through a point (x_1,y_1) with slope m, then equation of line is

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Line b passing through (-8,-16) with slope 2. So, equation of line b is

y-(-16)=2(x-(-8))

y+16=2(x+8)

y+16=2x+16

Subtract 16  from both sides.

y=2x

Therefore, the equation of line b is y=2x.
