Ben is eating some pretzels and an entire small package of mustard as a snack. Based on

olasank [31]

Please consider the attached graph.

We have been given that Ben is eating some pretzels and an entire small package of mustard as a snack. We are asked to find the equation that represents the relationship between the number of pretzels that Ben eats, x, and the total amount of sodium in his snack, y.

First of all, we will find the slope of the line using points (1,80) and (5,140).

$m=\frac{140-80}{5-1}$

$m=\frac{60}{4}$

$m=15$

Now we will use point-slope form of equation $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ , where m represents slope of line and point $(x_1,y_1)$ is on the line.

We will substitute $m=15$ and coordinates of point (1,80) in above equation.

$y-80=15(x-1)$

$y-80=15x-15$

$y-80+80=15x-15+80$

$y=15x+65$

Therefore, the equation $y=15x+65$ represents the relationship between the number of pretzels that Ben eats and the total amount of sodium in his snack.

The distribution of annual profit at a chain of stores was approximately normal with mean \mu = \$66{,}000μ=$66,000mu, equals, d

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

The closest to the maximum profit is $x = \$ 83682$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mean is $\mu = \$66,000$

The standard deviation is $\sigma = \$ 21000$

The percentage of profit is 20%

Generally the closest to the maximum annual profit at a store where the executives conducted an audit is mathematically evaluated as follows

$P(X > x ) = 0.20$

=> $P(X > x ) = P(\frac{X -x}{\sigma } > \frac{x -66000}{21000} ) = 0.20$

From the z-table the z-score for 0.20 is

$z-score = 0.842$

So

$\frac{x -66000}{21000} = 0.842$

=> $x = \$ 83682$

The course length of the Boston Marathon is about 4.2×104 meters. The course length of the Iditarod Trail Invitational ultra-mar

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The ultra-marathon Idita Rod Trail is about 38 times longer than the Boston Marathon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the length of the Boston Marathon in meters

y -----> the length of the Idita rod Trail Invitational ultra-marathon in meters

we have

$x=4.2*10^4\ m$

$y=1.6*10^6\ m$

we know that

To find out how many times as long is the course of the Idita rod Trail ultra-marathon as that of the Boston Marathon, divide the length of the Idita rod Trail Invitational ultra-marathon by the length of the Boston Marathon

so

$\frac{y}{x}$
