Alocal ice-cream shop sells ice-cream cones for $2.00, and customers can choose from the following options.
ice-cream flavor
type of cone: sugar or waffle
chocolate dipped for an additional $0.50
sprinkles for an additional $0.50
which of the following is a quantitative variable?
1. ice-cream flavor
2. type of cone
3. chocolate dipped or not
4. sprinkles or not
5. the total cost of the cone

Option 5) The total cost of the cone

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Quantitative variable:

In the given situation the quantitative variables are:

1. Ice-cream flavor

It is not a quantitative variable since it cannot be measured.

2. Type of cone

It is not a quantitative variable since it cannot be measured.

3. Chocolate dipped or not

Since it would be answered with a yes or no, it is not a quantitative variable as it cannot be measured.

4. Sprinkles or not

Since it would be answered with a yes or no, it is not a quantitative variable as it cannot be measured.

5. The total cost of the cone

It is a quantitative variable as this would be expressed in numbers.

E) The total cost of the cone

Step-by-step explanation:

A quantitative variable is one that takes on numerical values for a measured or counted quantity. The total cost of the cone is a quantitative variable since it can assume different numerical values representing the cost of each cone. The total cost of a cone could be $2.00 (ice cream in cone only), $2.50 (ice cream with sprinkles only or ice-cream cone with chocolate only), or $3.00 (ice-cream cone that is both chocolate dipped and has sprinkles).

problem:

f(x) = - 2/3x + 5; f(5/2)

substitute 5/2 in for x:

f(5/2) = -2/3(5/2) + 5

simplify the right side:

f(5/2) = -5/3 + 5

f(5/2) = 10/3

f(5/2) = 10/3

i hope this !
