Answer: C) the y-intercept is the starting height of the plant

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation of a straight line, there is a slope (2) and a y intercept (5). The y intercept is where the line crosses the y axis. It is the starting point for the y values. The science class starts the experiment with the plant being 5 centimeters high and since this is the starting point/height, this is also the y intercept.

The time it takes to transmit a file always depends on the file size. Suppose you transmitted 30 files, with the average size of
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

Y = 0.009042 + 0.0002457X

Y = 0.1073 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given problem we have two variables: the transmission time and average size of file.

Y = transmission time

X = average file size

The linear regression model is given by

Y = a + bX

The slope b is given by

b = correlation coefficient*(SDy/SDx)

Where SDy is the standard deviation of average transmittance time and SDx is the standard deviation of average file size.

b = 0.86(0.01/35)

b = 0.0002457

The y-intercept a is given by

a = y - bx

a =  0.04 - (0.0002457)126

a = 0.04 - 0.030958

a = 0.009042

Therefore, the linear regression model is

Y = 0.009042 + 0.0002457X

Predict the time it will take to transmit a 400 Kbyte file.

Substitute X = 400 in the regression model

Y = 0.009042 + 0.0002457(400)

Y = 0.009042 + 0.09828

Y = 0.1073 seconds

Therefore, the predicted time to transmit a 400 Kbyte file is 0.1073 seconds.

You mix soda water, fruit punch concentrate, and ginger ale in the ratio of 1 : 2 : 5 to make fruit punch. How many pints of eac
EastWind [94]
So the ratio is 1 to 2 to 5
so basically 1 unit of soda water to 2 units of fruit punch to 5 units of ginger ale

total is 1+2+5=8 units

so 4 gallons=8 units
divide by 8
1/2 gallon=1 unit

soda water=1 unit=1/2 gallon
fruit punch=2 unit=1/2 times 2=1 gallon
ginger ale=5 unit=5 times 1/2=5/2=2 and 1/2 gallon

soda water=1/2 gallon
fruit punch concentrate=1 gallon
ginger ale=5/2 gallon or 2 and 1/2 gallon

Which statements are true about circle Q? Select three options. The ratio of the measure of central angle PQR to the measure of
kkurt [141]

Answer:

<h3>- The ratio of the measure of central angle PQR to the measure of the entire circle is One-eighth. </h3><h3>- The area of the shaded sector depends on the length of the radius. </h3><h3>- The area of the shaded sector depends on the area of the circle</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given central angle PQR = 45°

Total angle in a circle = 360°

Ratio of the measure of central angle PQR to the measure of the entire circle is \frac{45}{360} = \frac{1}{8}. This shows ratio that <u>the measure of central angle PQR to the measure of the entire circle is one-eighth</u>.

Area of a sector = \frac{\theta}{360}*\pi r^{2}

\theta = central angle (in degree) = 45°

r = radius of the circle = 6

Area of the sector

= \frac{45}{360}*\pi (6)^{2}\\ = \frac{1}{8}*36 \pi\\  = 4.5\pi units^{2}

<u>The ratio of the shaded sector is 4.5πunits² not 4units²</u>

From the formula, it can be seen that the ratio of the central angle to that of the circle is multiplied by area of the circle, this shows <u>that area of the shaded sector depends on the length of the radius and the area of the circle.</u>

Since Area of the circle = πr²

Area of the circle = 36πunits²

The ratio of the area of the shaded sector to the area of the circle = \frac{4.5\pi }{36 \pi } = \frac{1}{8}

For length of an arc

= \frac{45}{360}*2\pi r\\= \frac{45}{360}*2\pi (6)\\= \frac{45}{360}*12 \pi \\= \frac{12\pi }{8} \\= \frac{3\pi }{2} units

ratio of the length of the arc to the area of the circle = \frac{\frac{3\pi}{2} }{36\pi} = \frac{3}{72} =\frac{1}{24}

It is therefore seen that the ratio of the area of the shaded sector to the area of the circle IS NOT equal to the ratio of the length of the arc to the area of the circle

Darya [45]

Answer: Tickets cost $25 and each person must contribute $2 for the bus. There are 52 people going on the trip.


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Mr. Bartley is taking the theater club on a field trip [which must include bus or other vehicle] to see the musical wicked. The school treasurer asked Mr. Bartley for the group's total ticket cost.

He wrote the following cost function for the school treasurer.

Total Cost =52(25+2)

Since cost function is a function based on number of people and per head cost.

So, the statement which best describe the cost function is "Tickets cost $25 and each person must contribute $2 for the bus. There are 52 people going on the trip."
