The equation P=28+2.54w models the relation between the amount of Randy's monthly water bill payment, P, in dollars, and the number of units of water, w, used. Interpret the P-intercept of the equation.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The P - intercept of the equation is 28

Solution:

Given equation models the relation between amount of Randy's monthly water bill payment and number of units of water used

P = 28 + 2.54w

Where,

"P" is the monthly water bill payment in dollars

"w" is the number of units of water used

Compare this equation with slope intercept form

Slope intercept form: y = mx + c

Where "m" is the slope of line and "c" is the y intercept

Therefore in given equation, P = 28 + 2.54w

2.54 is the slope and 28 is the P - intercept

The slope, 2.54, means that Randy’s payment increases by $2.54 when the number of units of water he used increases by 1

When "w" increases by 1 , then P increases by $ 2.54

The P –intercept means that if the number units of water Randy used was 0, the payment would be $28

When w = 0 ,

P = 28 + 0

P = $ 28

Thus the P - intercept determines the monthly payment bill

Answer 2
Answer:

Answer:

The slope,  2.54, means that Randy's monthly water bill payment increases by  2.54  dollars for each unit of water used.

only 6 of the 75 trees in the park are at least 30 feet tall. what percentage of the trees are under 30 feet tall?

Answers

Total number of trees in the park = 75
Number of trees that are at least 30 feet tall = 6
Then
Number of tress that are less than 30 feet tall = 75 - 6
                                                                          = 69
So
Percentage of trees that are less than 30 feet tall = (69/75) * 100
                                                                                = (69 * 4)/3
                                                                                 = 276/3
                                                                                 = 92 percent
So the percentage of trees that are below 30 feet is 92%. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
Hi

75-6 = 69 trees

69/3 = 23
75/3 = 25

69/75 = 23/25 = 0,92 = 92% are under 30 feet tall

following statements true about the sample?
It is not a valid sample because it is only a short study,
It is a valid sample because money is offered to participants.
It is a valid sample because the first 10 people were selected to participate.
It is not a valid sample because it is not a random sample of the population

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is the last on that’s states: it is not a valid sample because it is not a random sample of the population.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a researcher wants to know about the same thing, he/she has to take a sample from the population.

Example, consider a researcher wants to know how many hours the students study at home in a week, so the researcher has to take the sample from the student population.

Here, he/she gives the advertisement and offers $10 for 10 people. Therefore for anyone can come they might not required for a particular study.

Therefore, the answer is the last one.

The clothing company makes a profit of $2.3 million this is $4.1 million more than last year what was the profit last year

Answers

Answer:

The profit earn by clothing company last year is - $1.8 million .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The profit earn by clothing company this year = $2.3 million

And The profit earn by clothing company this year = $4.1 million more than that of last year

Let The profit earn by clothing company last year = $A

Now, According to question

profit earn by clothing company this year = $4.1 million more than that of last year

Or, profit earn by clothing company this year = $4.1 million + profit earn by clothing company last year

Or, $2.3 million = $4.1 million + $A

Or, A = $2.3 million - $4.1 million

Or, A = - $1.8 million

So,The profit earn by clothing company last year = A =  - $1.8 million

Hence, The profit earn by clothing company last year is - $1.8 million . Answer

A bull’s-eye with a 4-inch diameter covers 20 percent of a circular target. What is the area, in square inches, of the target?

Answers

Area of a circle is found using the formula: Area = π * r^2

Using 3.14 for π

Area of the bull'e eye = π * 2^2 = 4π = 4 * 3.14 = 12.56 square inches.

This is 20% of the entire target.

To find the area of the entire target, divide the area of the bull's eye by the percentage:

Area = 12.56 / 0.20 = 62.8 square inches.

Round the answer as needed.

Answer:

Area of target = 62.8 inch²

Step-by-step explanation:

A bull’s-eye with a 4-inch diameter covers 20 percent of a circular target.

Diameter of bull's eye = 4 inch

\texttt{Area of bull's eye = }(\pi* 4^2)/(4)=12.56inch^2

Given that  bull’s-eye covers 20% of circular target.

\texttt{Area of bull's eye = }(20)/(100)* \texttt{Area of target}\n\n\texttt{Area of target}* 0.2=12.56\n\n\texttt{Area of target}=(12.56)/(0.2)=62.8inch^2

Area of target = 62.8 inch²
