Y=mx+b
m=slope
b=yint

two points
cost=y
(4,5.5) and (7,7.75)
slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
slope=(7.75-5.5)/(7-4)=2.25/3=0.75

y=0.75x+b
find b
(4,5.5)
x=4
y=5.5
5.5=0.75(4)+b
5.5=3+b
minus 3 fromboth sides
2.5=b

y=0.75x+2.5
3 hours
y=0.75(3)+2.5
y=2.25+2.5
y=4.75

answer is D

Slope = (7.75 - 5.50)/(7 - 4) = 2.25/3 = 0.75
The equation described by the function is
y - 5.5 = 0.75(x - 4)
y = 0.75x - 3 + 5.5 = 0.75x + 2.5
For x = 3, y = 0.75(3) + 2.5 = 2.25 + 2.5 = 4.75
Therefore, it costs $4.75 to park for 3 hours.

The area of the conference table in Mr. Nathan’s office must be no more than 175 ft2. If the length of the table is 18 ft more t

The answer is  0 < x <span>≤ 7 
</span>
First, we know that width =  x
Which means that length = x +18

So, the possible equation for the Table's area is

X (X + 18)  ≤ 175

X^2 + 18x - 175  <span>≤ </span>0

Next, we need to calculate is by using complete square method
x^2 + 18x + 81 <span>≤ 175 + 81

(x + 9)^2 </span><span>≤ 256

|x + 9| </span><span>≤ sqrt(256)

|x + 9| </span><span>≤ +-16

-16 </span>≤ x + 9 <span>≤ 16

</span>-16 - 9 ≤ x <span>≤ 16 - 9

</span>-25 ≤ x <span>≤ 7

Since the width couldn't be negative, we can change -25 with 0,

so it become

We are told that the data is representative of the two populations (U.S. males aged 20-29 years and U.S. males aged 75+ years),
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

The data provide strong evidence that young men weigh more on average than old men in the U.S

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

The null hypothesis ; H0 : μ1 = μ2

The alternative hypothesis ; H1 : μ1 > μ2

T score = 5.3 ; Pvalue = < 0.0001

The decision region :

If Pvalue < α ; We reject the Null

If Pvalue > α ; We fail to reject the Null

When the α - level isn't stated, we usually assume a α - level of 5%

However, even at lower alpha level of 1% = 0.01 ;

The Pvalue < α

Hence, we can conclude that there is significant evidence that there is difference in the mean weight of young men and old men in the U.S
