Jon finds a box of 350 postcards. He selects a random sample of 75 postcards and finds that 27 already have a stamp on them. Predict the total number of postcards in the box with stamps on them.

126

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of postcard with stamp on it =x

Out of 350 postcards, x has stamp on it.

Out of 75 postcards, 27 has stamp on it.

Expressing these as a ratio:

350:x=75:27

350/x=75/27

Cross multiply

75x=350*27

x=(350*27)/75

x= 126

Therefore, the the total number of postcards in the box with stamps on them is 126.

answer: it's upside down and i can't read it

step-by-step explanation:

55.44 inches

step-by-step explanation:

part a. assuming a perfectly linear relationship, we can find the slope from the first two data points.

slope = m = (change in rainfall)/(change in years)

= (61.80 -62.33)/(2005 -2004) = -0.53/1 = -0.53

then the point-slope form of the equation of the line can be written as

y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . m = -0.53, (h, k) = (0, 62.33)

y = -0.53x +62.33 . . . x = years after 2004

part b. in 2017, x = 2017 -2004 = 13. then the predicted rainfall is

y = -0.53·13 +62.33 = 55.44 . . inches

the predicted rainfall in 2017 is 55.44 in.
