Answer:

y = 2/5x + 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the slope of the equation: y = 2/5x – 1/2

The slope of the above equation can be obtained as follow:

y = mx + c

Where m is the slope.

c is the y-intercept.

y and x are the coordinate.

Comparing:

y = 2/5x – 1/2 with y = mx + c

The slope of y = 2/5x – 1/2 is 2/5.

Now, let us determine the equation parallel to y = 2/5x – 1/2.

This is illustrated below:

The coordinate of the line => (–7, 2)

x1 = –7

y1 = 2

Slope (m) = 2/5 => Since the lines are parallel, their slope are equal.

y – y1 = m (x – x1)

y – 2 = 2/5(x – –7)

y – 2 = 2/5(x + 7)

Clear bracket

y – 2 = 2/5x + 14/5

Rearrange

y = 2/5x + 14/5 + 2

y = 2/5x + 4/5

Therefore, the equation is:

y = 2/5x + 4/5

Fifty percent of the customers who go to Sears Auto Center for tires buy four tires and 30% buy two tires. Moreover, 18% buy few

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

A. Probability = 0.02

B. This is in a cumulative frequency table in the attachment I added

Step-by-step explanation:

A. We have these following probabilities

Prob(X=0) = 0.05

Prob(x= 2) = 0.30

Prob(X = 4) = 0.50

Prob(X < 2) = Prob(X=0) + prob(X=1)

0.18 = 0.05 + prob(X=1)

prob(X=1) = 0.13

A. Prob(x = 3)

= 1 - (0.05 + 0.13 + 0.30 + 0.50)

= 0.02

Probability of buying only 3 times = 2%

B. The cumulative frequency is in the attachment.
