Question

How many sunny days must there be for the plants to grow 35 centimeters?

  • Round your final answer to the nearest whole number.

Question

A park ranger is interested in plant growth around the trails of the park. He finds the plants growth, G, is dependent on the number of sunny days that occur in three months, x, and can be modeled by the function

G(x)=−8+3x.

Draw the graph of the growth function by plotting its G-intercept and another point.

Question

The scatter plot below shows data relating total income and the number of children a family has. Which of the following patterns does the scatter plot show?

A scatterplot has a horizontal axis labeled Number of children from negative 1 to 7 in increments of 1 and a vertical axis labeled Income left-parenthesis thousands right-parentheses from 0 to 200 in increments of 50. A series of plotted points loosely forms a line that falls from left to right and passes through the points left-parenthesis 0 comma 180 right-parentheses and left-parenthesis 6 comma 25 right-parentheses. All coordinates are approximate.

Question

Using the linear relationship graphed above, estimate the percent of snack purchases if 80% of customers wait in line for more than 15 minutes.

Question

A ticket taker at a movie theater explored the relationship between the percent of customers that wait more than 15 minutes in line for tickets and the percent of customers that purchase snacks at the theater. The ticket ticker collects information from 6 lines during a particular week, shown in the table below.

Use the graph below to plot the points and develop a linear relationship between the percent of waiting customers and the percent of snack purchases at a movie theater.

Line % of Waiting Customers % of Snack Purchases
1 90 3
2 75 11
3 60 16
4 52 20
5 40 30
6 30 35

Question

Using the linear relationship graphed above, estimate the percent of return customers if 80% of customers wait more than 10 minutes in line.

Question

A grocery store manager explored the relationship between the percent of customers that wait more than 10 minutes in line and the percent of return customers at the store. The manager collects information from 6 checkout lines, shown in the table below.

Use the graph below to plot the points and develop a linear relationship between the percent of waiting customers and the percent of return customers.

Line % of Waiting Customers % of Return Customers
1 20 85
2 35 80
3 50 75
4 60 60
5 70 50
6 90 32

Question

How much time did a person spend at the library over a month for them to spend 40 hours reading a book?

  • Round your final answer to the nearest whole number.

Question

A librarian finds that the number of hours spent reading a book over a month, R, is dependent on the numbers of hours a person spends at the library over the course of a month, x, and can be modeled by the function

R(x)=26+1.5x.

Draw the graph of the reading function by plotting its R-intercept and another point.
