Answer:

Option C) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sandra enters a pumpkin growing contest each year.

currently her pumpkin measures 36 inches in circumference.

She models the weekly growth for her pumpkin with the equation

y = 2x + 36 which is similar to Y = mx + C

"C" represents "Y - intercept" which is at x = 0

measurement on Y axis x = 0 signifies the starting date of the contest.

and for x + 0 ⇒ y = 2 × 0 + 36 = 36

Which is starting size of the pumpkin.

Therefore, Option C) is correct.

A home improvement store sold wind chimes for $30 each. A customer signed up for a free membership card and received a 5% discou
dsp73

the final price of the wind chime is $29.925 .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , A home improvement store sold wind chimes for $30 each. A customer signed up for a free membership card and received a 5% discount off the price. Sales tax of 5% was applied after the discount. We need to find What was the final price of the wind chime . Let's find out:

Initially we have , 5% discount in $30 i.e.

⇒ (30(5))/100

⇒ (150)/100

⇒ $1.5 , So now price becomes $30 - $1.5 = $28.5 . At this amount there's 5% tax i.e.

⇒ (28.5(5))/100

⇒ (142.5)/100

⇒ $1.425

So now price becomes $28.5 + $1.425 = $29.925 . Therefore , the final price of the wind chime is $29.925 .

Suppose that the ages of members in a large billiards league have a known standard deviation of σ = 12 σ=12sigma, equals, 12 yea
asambeis [7]

Answer:

n\geq 23

Step-by-step explanation:

-For a known standard deviation, the sample size for a desired margin of error is calculated using the formula:

n\geq (\frac{z\sigma}{ME})^2

Where:

  • \sigma is the standard deviation
  • ME is the desired margin of error.

We substitute our given values to calculate the sample size:

n\geq (\frac{z\sigma}{ME})^2\\\\\geq (\frac{1.96\times 12}{5})^2\\\\\geq 22.13\approx23

Hence, the smallest desired sample size is 23
