Rosita and Garth are saving up for a vacation, and begin with a certain amount saved each. If Rosita works 5 hours, she will hav

e $128. If she works 7 hours, she will have $164. If Garth works 3 hours, he will have $124. If he works 8 hours, he will have $194. They want to know when they will have saved the same amount of money and how much each will have saved.

Treat each (time, money) pair as an (x, y) pair, and get the slope of the line:
For Rosita, (5, 128), (7, 164): m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (164 - 128)/(7 - 5) = 18, implying that she earns $18/hr. The y-intercept is calculated as: y = 18x + b, 128 = 18*5 + b, b = $38, meaning that she started with $38. Rosita's equation is y = 18x + 38.
For Garth, (3, 124), (8, 194): m = (194 - 124)/(8 - 3) = 14. For 124 = 14*3 + b, b = $82. Garth's equation is y = 14x + 82

To find out when they will have saved the same amount, both equations would have the same y-value:
18x + 38 = 14x + 82
4x = 44
x = 11 hours
y = 18*11 + 38 = $236 (alternatively, y = 14*11 + 82 = 236)
This means that Rosita and Garth will have both saved $236 after 11 hours of working.

Karl drove 617.3 miles. For each gallon of gas the car can travel 41 miles.Select a reasonable estimate of the number of gallons
zaharov [31]
Time for fractions!!!

I’m going to set a rate of miles per gallon and then cross multiply to get me answer.

41miles/gallon = 617.3/xgallons

617.3 multiplied by 1 and then divided by 41 = about 15.05 gallons

A reasonable estimate then is 15 and a half gallons, because rather than measuring down to the hundredths, the next closest and reasonable measurement is 15 and a half or under.

Comment if you don’t understand and I’ll try to help.

In hypothesis​ testing, does choosing between the critical value method or the​ P-value method affect your​ conclusion? Explain.
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:​

The correct answer is No.

Choosing between the critical value method or the P-value method does not affect one's conclusion because both methods look at the probability of the test​ statistic's and its level of significance .

Given the methodology utilized by both methods, they usually arrive at the same conclusion.

Cheers!

Louis started a table showing a multiplication patterns complete the table describe a pattern you see in the products
kvasek [131]
One pattern that you can see in a multiplication table is the perfect square numbers. It runs from the top left hand corner directly through the middle to the bottom right hand corner. A perfect square is a number that is multiplied by itself. The perfect square numbers are 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144. They keep going forever on but those are the main ones from 1x1 to 12x12.
