Question

the table shows the amount of money (in billions of dollars) that a country spent on their pets for the years shown. complete parts a through d below. a. write this paired data as a set of ordered pairs of the form (year, pet - related expenditures) (2001, 28.2), (2002, 29.7), (2003, 32.7), (2004, 34.8) (type an ordered pair. type an integer or a decimal. use a comma to separate answers as needed.) b. what is the meaning of the ordered pair (2004, 34.8)? choose the sentence below that best describes the meaning of the ordered pair a. in the year 2004, $34.8 billion was spent on pet - related expenditures. b. from 2001 to 2004, $34.8 billion was spent on pet - related expenditures. c. in the year 2004, the average person spent $34.80 on pet - related expenditures. c. create a scatter diagram of the paired data. choose the correct scatter diagram of the paired data below

Explanation:

• For part a, ordered pairs are formed by taking the year as the first element and the pet - related expenditures as the second element.
• For part b, in an ordered pair \((x,y)\) where \(x\) is the year and \(y\) is the expenditure, the pair \((2004,34.8)\) means that when \(x = 2004\) (the year), \(y=34.8\) (the expenditure in billions of dollars).

Answer:

• a. \((2001,28.2),(2002,29.7),(2003,32.7),(2004,34.8)\)
• b. A. In the year 2004, $34.8$ billion was spent on pet - related expenditures.
