I need to know how to calculate on my TI-84 Plus calculator.
A highway has an optional toll lane that drivers may take to reduce the time they spend driving. Drivers pay a small fee to enter the toll lane ($0.25)($0.25). Then, once they leave the toll lane, they pay a fee based on the number of miles they have traveled on the toll lane. Assume that the driver may leave the lane after any whole number of miles and pays for exactly that number, without rounding up. Note that there is a linear relationship between the number of miles a vehicle has traveled and the price of the toll.

The herd population started at 2000 when this study began. Calculate the number of deaths (predation + starvation). To determine the deer population change, subtract the number of deaths from births (births - deaths), this can be a positive number, indicating growth, ora negative number which indicates a population decline.

The third group has one word every 2 seconds, and the fourth group has one word every 3 seconds. After the list is presented, the psychologist asks each person to recall the entire list. The dependent variable is the number of errors in recall. The data from this experiment are as follows: 1/2 Second 1 Second 2 Seconds 3 Seconds 4 0 3 0 6 2 1 2 2 2 2 1 4 0 2…arrow_forward
