In the report "Expenditures on Children by Families," the U.S. Department of Agriculture projected the yearly child-rearing expenditures on children from birth through age 17. For a child born in 2010 to a two-parent middle-income family, the report estimated annual expenditures of $10,808 when the child is 6 years old, and $14,570 when the child is 15 years old. (a) Using the above information, write the two ordered pairs of the form (child's age, annual expenditure). (Let c represent the child's age and y represent annual expenditure.) (c, y) = | (smaller c-value) (c, y) = |(larger c-value) (b) Assume the relationship between the child's age c and the annual expenditures y is linear. Use your answers to part (a) to write an equation in slope-intercept form that models this relationship. (c) What are the projected child-rearing expenses when the child is 11 years old?

Concept explainers

Unitary Method

The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.

Speed, Time, and Distance

Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 miles away.

Profit and Loss

The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.

Units and Measurements

Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.

In the report "Expenditures on Children by Families," the U.S. Department of Agriculture projected the yearly child-rearing expenditures on children from birth through age 17. For a child born in 2010
to a two-parent middle-income family, the report estimated annual expenditures of $10,808 when the child is 6 years old, and $14,570 when the child is 15 years old.
(a) Using the above information, write the two ordered pairs of the form (child's age, annual expenditure). (Let c represent the child's age and y represent annual expenditure.)
(с, у)
(smaller c-value)
%D
(с, у) 3
|(larger c-value)
(b) Assume the relationship between the child's age c and the annual expenditures y is linear. Use your answers to part (a) to write an equation in slope-intercept form that models this
relationship.
(c) What are the projected child-rearing expenses when the child is 11 years old?

Alexandria's typical daily meal costs are as follows: Breakfast Lunch Dinner $3.67 $3.97 $6.34 What is Alexandria's typical monthly food costs? Use the same calculation that you did for your Avatar's typical monthly food costs. First determine how much Alex spends on food in a week. Then determine how much Alex would spend in a year (use the approximation that there are 52 weeks in a year). From that value, determine Alex's typical monthly food costs by using the idea that there are 12 months in a year. O $55.92 O $424.06 O $13.98 O $391.44

At a large furniture and electrical store, customers usually find that the furniture on display is not held in stock. Rather than being immediately available, it must be sourced from manufacturers. In the sofa department, the average delivery time is expected to be six weeks after purchase. In order to test whether this target is accurate, the store records the delivery times (in days) taken for 50 sofa purchases. Complete parts (a) through (d). LOADING... Click the icon to view the data table. a. The supervisor claims that the mean number of days between receipt of the order and delivery of the sofa is 42 days or more. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence that the claim is not true (that is, that the mean number of days is less than 42)? State the null and alternative hypotheses.

Total DVD and Blu-ray disc sales in 2009 were $8.72 billion. For the purposes of this problem, you will combine DVD and Blue-ray disk sales into one category of DVD sales. A study by In-Stat predicted that "physical disc sales will decline by $4.7 billion by 2014," and that "streaming, on the other hand, should grow from its current $2.2 billion to $6.3 billion over the same time period (2009–2014). d.

In what year do the models predict streaming video sales to exceed DVD sales?

An fruit grower knows from previous experience and careful data analysis that if the fruit on a specific kind of tree is harvested at this time of year, each tree will yield, on average, 127 pounds, and will sell for $4.6 per pound. However, for each additional week the harvest is delayed (up to a point), the yield per tree will increase by 2.1 pounds, while the price per pound will decrease by $0.07. A) How many weeks should the grower wait before harvesting the apples in order to maximize the sales revenue per tree? (Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a week.) Answer: __________ (rounded to the nearest tenth) B) Use your answer in part A to find the actual maximum revenue that can be expected. (Round your answer to the nearest dollar.) Answer: ____________ dollars (rounded to the nearest dollar)
An analyst in the real estate business is interested in the relationship between the cost of the monthly rent of an apartment and the size of an apartment, in big cities. She gathers data for apartment buildings in 12 cities in 12 different states. In each city, she gets the numbers for at least 5 different buildings and at least 40 apartments in each building. She reaches the following conclusion: the rental cost of a 2-bedroom apartment is 50% more than the rental cost of a 1-bedroom apartment, and the rental cost of a 3-bedroom apartment is 50% more than the rental cost of a 2-bedroom apartment. Based on the paragraph, what is the minimum number of apartments she collected data on? Do you think her sample was large enough to be statistically valid? Based on the paragraph, are there any apartments or apartment buildings that she would have excluded from her study? Do you see any bias in how she selected apartments for her study? Based on the paragraph, is there a positive…
