You lose track of how many 2-point baskets and 3-point baskets a team makes in a basketball game. The team misses all the 1-poin

t baskets and still scores 54 points. The equation 2x+3y=54$ models the total points scored, where x is the number of 2-point baskets made and y is the number of 3-point baskets made. a. Find and interpret the intercepts.

Answer:

  • x-intercept: 27, the number of 2-pointers if no 3-pointers
  • y-intercept: 18, the number of 3-pointers if no 2-pointers

Step-by-step explanation:

Each intercept is found by setting the other variable to zero and solving for the variable value of interest.

  2x +3y = 54

<u>x-intercept:</u>

  2x = 54

  x = 27

<u>y-intercept:</u>

  3y = 54

  y = 18

__

By definition, the intercept values are the values that satisfy the equation when the other variable is zero.

x-intercept: To score 54 points, the team would have to make 27 2-point baskets if no 3-point baskets were made.

y-intercept: To score 54 points, the team would have to make 18 3-point baskets if no 2-point baskets were made.

In your own words, describe the difference between correlation and causation. Give an example (not given in the content) of two
Semmy [17]

The difference between causation and correlation is that, Causation is characterized by cause-and-effect while correlation establishes a probable relationship.

<h3>What is the difference between Causation and correlation?</h3>

While Causation is characterized by a situation in which an action certainly causes an outcome and hence, is described as a cause-and-effect relationship, Correlation on the other hand only establishes a relationship between the two events and doesn't necessarily ascertain the occurrence of the other event .

An example of two variables which may be correlated is; the height and weight of an individual in which case it is generally perceived that taller people are heavier.

Find the exponential function that satisfies the given conditions:
Nady [450]

Answer:

f(t) = 66·0.995^t

Step-by-step explanation:

You can try t=0 and t=1 in each of the formulas to see which one gives values of 66 and 0.5% less than 66, or 65.67.

The first function has an initial value of 0.5, so is not correct.

The second function gives f(1) = 99, so is not correct.

The third function gives f(1) = 65.67, so is correct.

The fourth function gives f(1) = 66.33, so is not correct.

_____

You can realize that the multiplier will be 0.5% less than 100%, so will be 99.5% = 0.995. This number shows up only in the third selection.
