Considering that 160,000 is the y-intercept of the function, it's significance is given by:

the initial population at the time of the estimation.

<h3>What is the y-intercept of a function f(x)?</h3>

The y-intercept is f(0), that is, the value of y when x = 0, which is interpreted as the initial value of the function.

Researching this problem on the internet, it is found that f(0) = 160,000, hence the significance of 160,000 in the function is given by:

the initial population at the time of the estimation.

When you send out a resume, the probability of being called for an interview is 0. 40. what is the probability that the first in
Kipish [7]

The probability that the first interview occurs on the fifth resume that you sent is 0.2592.

According to the given question.

The probability of being called for an interview, p = 0.40.

So, the probability of not being called for an interview, q = 1 - 0.40 = 0.60

As we know that binomial distribution summarizes the number of trials, or observations when each trial has the same probability of attaining one particular value. The binomial distribution determines the probability of observing a specified number of successful outcomes in a specified number of trials.

Therefore, the probability that the first interview occurs on the fifth resume that you send out

= ^{5} C_{1} (0.40)^{1} (0.60)^{4}

= 5(0.40)(0.1296)

= 0.2592

Hence, the probability that the first interview occurs on the fifth resume that you sent is 0.2592.

The sum of three numbers is 24. Twice the smallest number is 2 less than the largest number. The largest number is equal to the
Anit [1.1K]

Known information:

  • the sum of three numbers: 24
  • the smallest number is 2 less than the largest number
  • the largest number is equal to the sum of the smallest and middle number.

Let us set up some variables for our terms:

  • smallest number --> S
  • middle number --> M
  • largest number -- L

Let us set up some equations in terms of our known information

  • S + M + L = 24
  • S = L - 2
  • L = S + M

Let us set up everything in terms of L, because in the first equation, we will be able to get rid of all the other variables but L allowing us to solve the equation:

              (S + M) + L = 24 --->   L + L = 24

              2L = 24

              L = 12

Since L = 12, we know that S = L - 2:

              S = L - 2 = 12 - 2 = 10

Since now we know that L = 12, and S = 10, and L = S + M:

              L = S + M

              12 = 10 + M

               M = 2

So our answer is 2, 10, 12

Hope that helps!
