Chapter 2.1 Problem 100

Question

The Corruption Perceptions Index uses perceptions of thegeneralpublic, business people, and risk analysts to ratecountriesby how likely they are to accept bribes. The ratings are ona scale from 0 to 10, where higher scores represent less corruption.The graph shows the corruption ratings for the worldsleastcorrupt and most corrupt countries. (Theratingforthe UnitedStates is 7.6.) Use the graph to solve Exercises99100.a. Write a set of four ordered pairs in which each of themost corrupt countries corresponds to a corruptionrating. Each ordered pair should be in the form(country, corruption rating).b. Is the relation in part (a) a function? Explain youranswer.c. Write a set of four ordered pairs in which corruptionratings for the most corrupt countries correspond tocountries. Each ordered pair should be in the form(corruption rating, country).d. Is the relation in part (c) a function? Explain youranswer.

Solution

Step 1 of 6)

The first step in solving 2.1 problem number 112 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The Corruption Perceptions Index uses perceptions of thegeneralpublic, business people, and risk analysts to ratecountriesby how likely they are to accept bribes. The ratings are ona scale from 0 to 10, where higher scores represent less corruption.The graph shows the corruption ratings for the worldsleastcorrupt and most corrupt countries. (Theratingforthe UnitedStates is 7.6.) Use the graph to solve Exercises99100.a. Write a set of four ordered pairs in which each of themost corrupt countries corresponds to a corruptionrating. Each ordered pair should be in the form(country, corruption rating).b. Is the relation in part (a) a function? Explain youranswer.c. Write a set of four ordered pairs in which corruptionratings for the most corrupt countries correspond tocountries. Each ordered pair should be in the form(corruption rating, country).d. Is the relation in part (c) a function? Explain youranswer.
From the textbook chapter Basics of Functions and Their Graphs you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
