Taylor's computer randomly generate numbers between 0 and 4, as represented by the given uniform density curve.
1 answer:
12.5% is the percentage of numbers randomly generated by Taylor's computer that is less than 0.5.
An illustration of a numerical distribution with continuous results is a density curve. A density curve is, in other words, the graph of a continuous distribution. This implies that density curves can represent continuous quantities like time and weight rather than discrete events like rolling a die (which would be discrete). As seen by the bell-shaped "normal distribution," density curves either lie above or on a horizontal line (one of the most common density curves).
The percentage of numbers randomly generated by Taylor's computer are less than 0.5 is given by
P(0≤X≤0.5)
=
= 0.125
That is 12.5%

In the future, please post the full problem with all included instructions. After doing a quick internet search, I found your problem listed somewhere else. It mentions two parts (a) and (b)
Part (a) asked for the equation of the line in y = mx+b form
That would be y = -2x+9
This is because each time y goes down by 2, x goes up by 1. We have slope = rise/run = -2/1 = -2. This indicates that the height of the candle decreases by 2 inches per hour. The slope represents the rate of change.
The initial height of the candle is the y intercept b value. So we have m = -2 and b = 9 lead us from y = mx+b to y = -2x+9
----------------------------------------------------------------
Part (b) then asks you to graph the equation. Because this is a linear equation, it produces a straight line. We only need 2 points at minimum to graph any line. Let's plot (0,9) and (1,7) on the same xy grid. These two points are the first two rows of the table. Plot those two points and draw a straight line through them. The graph is below
