A large toiletry distributor claims that 35% of all individuals who purchase toilet paper from the stores that carry its product choose original toilet paper, 28% choose sensitive toilet paper, 20% choose ultra-strong toilet paper, and 17% choose ultra-soft toilet paper. To investigate this claim, researchers collected data from a random sample of customers in a large city. The results were 170 packages of original, 105 sensitive, 80 ultra-strong, and 45 ultra-soft toilet paper purchases. Are the data from the sample consistent with the distributor's claim

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.

answer: it's d
