The number of aluminum cans used each year varies directly as the number of people using the cans. If 500 people use 120000 cans in one year, how many cans are used each year in a city which has a population of 130000?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer

31,200,000


Explanation

Firstly, calculate the constant of proportionality.

Al ∝ N

Al = kN     Where Al = number of aluminium cans, k = constant and N = number of people using the can.

Al = kN

k = Al/N

  = 120000/500

  = 240

Equation becomes;

Al = 240N

For 130000 cans;

Al = 240 × 130000

   = 31,200,000

Yes, these lines are parallel because they are going in the same direction, same distance from each other, and do not ever intersect.

This could also be reworded to same slope but different y-intercepts.

Which statement about scatter plots is true?Associated variables cannot be represented on scatter plots.



A regression line must pass through all the points on the scatter plot.



A regression line cannot help predict future values of variables.



Scatter plots can be used to represent quantitative data.

Answers

Answer:

On the Scatter Plot, the two variables associated with each other when represented in Quantitative form that is in the form of x-values and y-values, it can be drawn in two dimensional coordinate plane, Representation being a line.

1.The Line may pass through all the points , a single point or none of the points.

2. It can also predict the future values that is for given x , we can find y and for given y , we can find x.

So, only option (4) which is,Scatter plots can be used to represent quantitative data is true.

The answer is letter D.
