Chapter 4 Problem 4.2.18

Question

Raisins The following data represent the weight w (in grams) of a box of raisins and the number N of raisins in the box. Number of Raisins, N 42.3 87 42.7 91 42.8 93 42.4 87 42.6 89 42.4 90 42.3 82 42.5 86 42.7 86 42.5 86 Source: Jennifer Maxwell, Student at Joliet Junior College (a) Does the relation defined by the set of ordered pairs (w, N) represent a function? (b) Draw a scatter diagram of the data treating weight as the independent variable. (c) Select two points and find the equation of the line containing the points.* (d) Graph the line on the scatter diagram drawn in part (b). (e) Express the relationship found in part (c) using function notation. (f) Predict the number of raisins in a box that weighs 42.5 grams. (g) Interpret the slope of the line found in part (c).

Solution

Step 1 of 6)

The first step in solving 4 problem number 18 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Raisins The following data represent the weight w (in grams) of a box of raisins and the number N of raisins in the box. Number of Raisins, N 42.3 87 42.7 91 42.8 93 42.4 87 42.6 89 42.4 90 42.3 82 42.5 86 42.7 86 42.5 86 Source: Jennifer Maxwell, Student at Joliet Junior College (a) Does the relation defined by the set of ordered pairs (w, N) represent a function? (b) Draw a scatter diagram of the data treating weight as the independent variable. (c) Select two points and find the equation of the line containing the points.* (d) Graph the line on the scatter diagram drawn in part (b). (e) Express the relationship found in part (c) using function notation. (f) Predict the number of raisins in a box that weighs 42.5 grams. (g) Interpret the slope of the line found in part (c).
