Let the number be x. The equation x/5 - 17 = 48 leads to (x - 85)/5 = 48. Multiplying gives x - 85 = 240, so x = 240 + 85, resulting in x = 325.
You will require approximately 13 pounds of grass.
THE FUNCTION IS CONTINUOUS - True
The table indicates that for every hour indicated, there is a corresponding amount of juice (cups) provided. The graph would represent a linear progression between the hours of 4 and 8 without any discontinuities.
TIME IS THE DEPENDENT VARIABLE - False
Time acts as the independent variable since it remains unaffected by any other factors. Conversely, the number of cups is contingent upon the hours, categorizing it as a dependent variable.
THE SCENARIO IS CHARACTERIZED BY
A LINEAR FUNCTION AS THE RATE OF CHANGE IS CONSTANT - True
The rate of change is a steady 53 cups per hour, indicating a linear function.
AS TIME INCREASES, THERE ARE FEWER CUPS OF JUICE POURED EACH HOUR - False
Since the rate of change is positive, the cups poured each hour will actually increase.
FOR EACH EXTRA HOUR, 53 CUPS OF JUICE ARE POURED - True
The hourly difference in cups poured is consistently 53.
Response:
Option B is correct
Step-by-step breakdown:

(One-tailed test at a significance level of 5%)
n = 16 and x̄ = 1.97
s = 0.1
Standard error of the mean = 
Difference in means = 
t statistic = Difference in means/se = -1.2
degrees of freedom = 16 - 1 = 15
p-value = 0.124375
(B) do not reject the null hypothesis since the test statistic (-1.2) is > the critical value (-1.7531).
