A sweater that normally sells for $78 is marked 15% off. Which of the following estimates the sale price of the sweater?

Correlation of two variables falls into:

Positive correlation: an increase in one variable causes another variable to increase

Negative correlation: an increase in one variable causes another one to decrease

No correlation: a change in one variable does not cause any response in another variable.

From the given choices

Option a is no correlation

Option b is a negative correlation

Option c is a negative correlation

Option d is a positive correlation

Thus, the correct statement is a.

: the question requires we find the cost of four syringes.

If we let x be the cost of four syringes, then we set up a proportion equation with cost as numerator and number of syringes as denominator. The proportion equation becomes

Cross-multiply to solve for x

Rearranging the above

Divide both sides of the equation by 55

Thus, the cost of 4 syringes is $48.

To solve this problem, first find the radius of the circle.

 we are to find the selling price of the sweater from the marked price and the discount. The marked price is given as

Discount=mark off rate*original price

Discount=15%*$78

Convert 15% into a fraction, which become 15/100=0.15. Then

Discount=0.15*$78=$11.70

The selling price of the sweater will be the original price less the discount or mark off value. Then,

Thus, the approximate selling price of the sweater is $66.

We need to find the radius in order to find the area of the pizza.

Radius of pizza

The area of the pizza

But r=4.5

Thus, the area of the pizza is 20.25  in2.

NOTE:  is used as is since values of pi may vary e.g. 3.14, 3.142, 22/7. Hence we use pi symbol to generalize.

Before we compare the values of the options, we convert the decimals to fractions.

5.4 becomes 54/10

6.25 becomes 625/100

Thus, the set of fractions is 11/2, 54/10, 13/3, 625/100. The least common denominator for 2, 10, 3, and 100 is 300, which we use to compare each options given.

11/2*300=1650

54/10*300=1620

13/3*300=1300

625/100*300=1875

From the above, 1875 is the greatest value which corresponds to 6.25. Therefore, 6.25 is the greatest value of all the choices given.

: We need to find the total rainfall for the months of May, June, and July using the given graph.

In the month of May, rainfall is between 3 and 4, which is halfway. Therefore, rainfall in May is 3.5 inches

On June, rainfall was 3 inch and on July the rainfall was 2.5 inches. Thus,

Total rainfall=3.5 inches+3 inches+ 2.5 inches=9.0 inches

When solving percent problems, the following words and their meaning becomes handy.

• Is means equals
• Of means multiply
• What means unknown (variable)

If we let x represent the amount of tip the couple want to leave behind, then

So, the couple will leave a tip of $2.84, which is about $3.00

correlations fall into positive, negative, and no correlation. A positive correlation shows that an increase in one variable increase results in an increase on the other variable increases as shown.

A negative correlation scatter plot shows that an increase in one variable results in a decrease on the other one.

The no-correlation scatter plot demonstrates that there is no response between variables. A change in one variable has no effect on the other variable.

Looking at the provided scatter plot, the heights of the students does not have any relationship on the students’ scores. Thus, the type of correlation is no correlation.

The babies' measured weights change over time and depend on the time interval after birth. Since weight is the outcome being measured, it is the dependent variable in the study.
