<span>The word decreased by means subtract.
So...
Lets look at A.
A: a-b
Sound correct?
No,
Because the sentence said that "a is decreased by the number b."
Lets look at B.
B. b-a
Sound correct?
Yes,
Because a is getting decreased by b.
Your answer is, B.
Hope this helps!(:

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Allow me to rewrite your question and hope it will fit the original one:
<em>Jackson recorded the growth of a plant over 10 weeks. The equation </em><em>y=0.25x+4</em><em> represents the height y in inches over time x in weeks what does the y intercept represent In terms of the situation</em>
My answer:
As we know that y intercept is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis (the value of x =0)
So in this situation, if x= 0, it means the height of the tree (y-intercept) initially be at 4 at week 0.
Hope it will find you well.

Answer: 0.421
Step-by-step explanation:
Heavy smoker = 20%
Light smoker = 30%
Non smokers = 50%
We can assume that the probability that a non-smoker is going to die in the next 5 years be y.
Since light smokers were twice as likely as nonsmokers to die during the five-year study, the probability will be:
= 2 × y = 2y
Probability for the Heavy smokers will be:= 2 × 2y = 4y
The expected number of people that will die for each in the next 5 years will be:
Non smoker:
= 50% × y
= 0.5 × y
= 0.5y
Light smoker:
= 30% × 2y
= 0.3 × 2y.
= 0.6y
Heavy smoker:
= 20% × 4y.
= 0.2 × 4y
= 0.8y
Total = 0.5y + 0.6y + 0.8y = 1.9y
The probability that the participant was a heavy smoker will be:
= 0.8y/1.9y
= 0.421
