Answer:

f(x)=\dfrac{1}{4}x+25

Step-by-step explanation:

Clearly from the graph we could see that it passes through two points (0,25) and (20,30) and also as the graph is linear so with the help of these two points we can find the relation between f(x) and x.

We know that the equation of a line passing through two points (a,b) and (c,d) is given by:

y-b=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}\times (x-a)

Here we have:

y=f(x) , (a,b)=(0,25) and (c,d)=(20,30).

Hence the equation of this graph is given as:

f(x)-25=\dfrac{30-25}{20-0}\times (x-0)\\\\f(x)-25=\dfrac{5}{20}\times x\\\\f(x)-25=\dfrac{1}{4}\times x\\\\f(x)=\dfrac{1}{4}x+25

Hence,

f(x)=\dfrac{1}{4}x+25

So here is the answer to the given question above. Analyzing the given figure, we can see that at 0 miles, the cost is 25. Between 0 and 40 miles, the cost rises by 10. Therefore, the function that would represent this situation would be this: <span>f(x) = (10/40)x+25
   </span><span>     f(x) = 1/4 *x+ 25
        f(x) = 0.25x + 25
Hope this is the answer that you area looking for. </span>

HELP! Consider the function represented by the graph. On a coordinate plane, a straight line with a negative slope begins on the
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

{ x | x ≥ 0 }

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

There is a straight line started from (0, 9) and passes through (8, 1),

∵ In the coordinate plan, the values of x are arranged in increasing order to the right side of the y-axis,

Thus, the line is defined for all real values of x greater than 0,

Hence, Domain of the line = All real numbers greater than equal to 0,

i.e. { x | x ≥ 0 }

Thus, FIRST OPTION is correct.

1. Walking to improve health. In a study investigating a link between walking and improved health (Social Science &amp; Medicine
lora16 [44]

Answer:

a) We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true average number of days in the past month that adults walked for the purpose of health or recreation is lower than 5.5 days (a;ternative hypothesis) , the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \geq 5.5  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu < 5.5  

b) For this case since we want to determine if the true mean is lower than an specified value is a one tailed test

c) For this case the significance level is given \alpha=0.01 and we want to find the critical value, so we need to find a critical value on the normal standard distribution who accumulate 0.01 of the area on the right tail and if we use excel or a table we got:

z_{cric}= -2.326

And the rejection zone would be: (\infty ,-2.326)

And the region is on the figure attached

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a: State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true average number of days in the past month that adults walked for the purpose of health or recreation is lower than 5.5 days (a;ternative hypothesis) , the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \geq 5.5  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu < 5.5  

Part b

For this case since we want to determine if the true mean is lower than an specified value is a one tailed test

Part c

For this case the significance level is given \alpha=0.01and we want to find the critical value, so we need to find a critical value on the normal standard distribution who accumulate 0.01 of the area on the right tail and if we use excel or a table we got:

z_{cric}= -2.326

And the rejection zone would be: (\infty ,-2.326)

And the region is on the figure attached

A department store sells t-shirts for $16.00. Every month that a t-shirt doesn’t sell, the store reduces the selling price by 25
Reil [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 25% of 16 ==\frac{25}{100}*8=\frac{1}{4}*8=2

Selling price after reduction = 16 - 2 = $14

B= 25% of 14

=\frac{25}{100}*14=\frac{1}{4}*14=\frac{7}{2}

= 3.5

Selling price = 14 - 3.5 = $10.5

C = 25% of 10.5

=\frac{25}{100}*10.5=\frac{10.5}{4}

= 2.625 = $ 2.63

Selling price = 10.5 - 2.63 = $ 7.87
