HELP! WILL GIVE A MEDAL!!!

You suspect that the spiciness of food served in a restaurant is positively correlated with number of soft drinks ordered. You have gathered several observations of people ordering food of different spice-levels and the number of soft drinks they ordered. You have also plotted the data and found a line of best fit. What would be your next steps to test your hypothesis? Plot all data together on a dot plot to assess if there is any visible correlation between the data sets. Offer a conclusion based on the data you observed. Pick two points on the dot plot and find a line of best fit. Find the correlation coefficient to see how well the line of best fit actually fits the data.

I think it's A.

OpenStudy (ilovecake):

Yes it is

OpenStudy (happyfeet8040):

Are you sure?

OpenStudy (ilovecake):

Yes it is A. I have done this question before and I got 100%

OpenStudy (happyfeet8040):

Okay, thank! Can you help me with some more?

OpenStudy (happyfeet8040):

Thanks*

OpenStudy (ilovecake):

Yeah sure

A company is paying a local television station to run its commercials. The cost for running commercials is a one-time campaign fee and also a per-second fee for the air time of each commercial. The cost can be modeled by the equation y = 500 + 50x, where x is seconds. What is the y-intercept, and what does it represent? 500; it represents the per-second fee of air time 500; it represents the one-time campaign fee 50; it represents the per-second fee of air time 50; it represents the one-time campaign fee

OpenStudy (ilovecake):

It is 500 and it represents the one time campaign fee.

Okay, thank you so much.. I have 2 more :)

The price of a community pool membership has a one-time sign-up fee and a monthly fee. The price can be modeled by the function y = 20x + 50, where x is the number of months. What is the slope, and what does it represent? 20; it represents the monthly fee 20; it represents the one-time sign-up fee 50; it represents the monthly fee 50; it represents the one-time sign-up fee

OpenStudy (ilovecake):

now the slope would be the part that changes with time, the other would just be where what the cost would be at time =0 or the y intercept or the sign-up fee, hint hint

OpenStudy (ilovecake):

When you first get to the pool, your number of months there is 0 (x=0). So y = 20x + 50 = 20(0) + 50 = 50. So that means 50 must be the sign-up fee. Also, the first month (x=1) you've payed y = 20(1)+ 50 = 70. That means you've payed 20 more than before. So that 20 must be the monthly fee.

So, B?

OpenStudy (ilovecake):

Yes good job!

OpenStudy (happyfeet8040):

Thanks! :) One more !

Hey happyfeet. According to the CoC you should ask one question only.. Not keep replying different question in one. Keep that in mind for next time :)
