Answer:
x=15 y=12 z=2
Step-by-step explanation:
4x=60 x=15
5y=60 y=12
2z=4 z=2
The scatter graph of the data is shown in the first picture below
The 'line of best fit' shows a negative gradient
Part A: The most likely coefficient is -0.98.
If the coefficient is -1, then each point would be exactly on the straight line (which they are not as shown on the graph). The graph however still shows a strong negative coefficient. It can be seen from the close distance of each point from the line of best fit. So -0.5 and -0.02 is unlikely as they show weak negative correlation
Part B: Refer to the second picture to see the horizontal and vertical distance between day 15 and day 20
The horizontal distance is 5 units
The vertical distance is read between 61 and 71.5, hence it's 10.5
The slope = Vertical distance ÷ Horizontal Distance = 10.5÷5 = 2.1
The 'downhill' slope shows a negative gradient, hence the value of the slope is -2.1
The value of the slope shows that the surface area of the lake shrinks by 2.1 for every one day
Part C: The data in the table represents the relation between two variables. Since one variable doesn't cause the change in the other variable, the data table represents correlation rather than a causation.
Answer:
x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
y =
( multiply both sides by x - 5
y(x - 5) = 4 - 3x ( distribute left side )
xy - 5y = 4 - 3x ( add 3x to both sides )
xy + 3x - 5y = 4 ( add 5y to both sides )
xy + 3x = 4 + 5y ← factor out x from each term on the left side
x(y + 3) = 4 + 5y ← divide both sides by y + 3
x = 
For the popsicles each contribute 1.08$ and for the pretzels either 1$ each or .99c
