Answer: y = 40x + 750
Step-by-step explanation:
Linear model;
y = mx + c
y is the total cost of buying granite counter tops for a certain number of square foot as well as the cost to install the counter top.
m is the cost of granite counter tops per square foot which is $40 in this case.
x is the number of square feet required.
c is the base pay for the installation of the counter top which is $750
Linear model will therefore look like this;
y = 40x + 750
To test it. Assume you want enough granite tops for 10 square feet. How much would it cost;
= 40 (10) + 750
= $1,150
We need to get x alone, to do that we add 1 to both sides to cancel out the -1 on the right.
-4 = x -1
+1 +1
-3=x
This means x is equal to -3. Hope this helps!
Answer:
The probability is 0.9938
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are asked to calculate the probability that the mean blood pressure readings of a group of people is less than a certain reading.
To calculate this, we use the z score.
Mathematically;
z = (mean - value)/(standard deviation/√N)
From the question, we can identify that the mean is 125, the value is 123 , the standard deviation is 9.6 and N ( total population is 144)
Let’s plug these values;
z = (125-123)/(9.6/√144) = 2.5
Now we proceed to calculate the probability with a s score less than 2.5 using statistical tables
P(z<2.5) = 0.9938
