Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

every time x goes up 1,  y goes up 4  

x = 3  minus x = 2  is a delta (a change of 1)

x = 4  minus x = 3  is a delta (a change of 1)

x = 5  minus x = 4  is a delta (a change of 1)

       the delta x is ALWAYS 1 for this table you can always substract x's to find the delta     delta is symbolized by Δ      Δx  for the delta x

y = 7  minus y = 3  is a delta (a change of 4)

y = 11  minus y = 7  is a delta (a change of 4)

y = 15  minus y = 11  is a delta (a change of 4)

    the delta y is ALWAYS 4 for this table you can always substract y's to find the delta     delta is symbolized by Δ     Δy  for the delta y

the slope m = Δy / Δx      m = 4 / 1     m = 4

     y = mx + b             when x = 0    then  y = b   (called the y intercept)

so how do we find the y intercept?    

look at the pattern in the TABLE  Δx  and Δy

   when x = 1    y = (3 - 4)  = -1

             x = 0    y =( -1 - 4)   = -5

so       y = 4x - 5     is a line equation for the data in this table

                                I believe there are other forms for linear equations

                               I chose the y-intercept form

use the point slope equation

       (y - y1)  =  m(x - x1)            where (x1, y1)  are the coordinates of a point on  

                                                the line

       when you know the slope of the line and a point on the line

       as before

       m = (y2 - y1)  / (x2 - x1)          from the table

           = (7 - 3) / (3 - 2)                 still equals

           = 4/1  =  4        

        pick a point on the line    say x= 4 and y = 11    (4, 11)

       (y - y1)  =  m(x - x1)    

        y - 11   =   4(x - 4)              point slope form

         solving point slope form  for  y

        y  - 11  =   4x - 16               add 11 to both sides    

           y  =  4x - 5                    back to the y-intercept form

Which point could be removed in order to make the relation a function? (–9, –8), (–{(8, 4), (0, –2), (4, 8), (0, 8), (1, 2)}
stepan [7]

We are given order pairs  (–9, –8), (–{(8, 4), (0, –2), (4, 8), (0, 8), (1, 2)}.

We need to remove in order to make the relation a function.

<em>Note: A relation is a function only if there is no any duplicate value of x coordinate for different values of y's of the given relation.</em>

In the given order pairs, we can see that (0, –2) and (0, 8) order pairs has same x-coordinate 0.

<h3>So, we need to remove any one (0, –2) or (0, 8) to make the relation a function.</h3>

The perimeter of a rectangular field is 320320 yd. the length is 2020 yd longer than the width. find the dimensions.
hichkok12 [17]
The sum of length and width is half the perimeter, 160 yd. The length is the average of the sum and difference of dimensions:
.. (160 +20)/2 = 90
Then the width is 160 -90 = 70

The rectangular field is 70 yd by 90 yd.

At a 20th high school reunion, all the classmates were asked the number of children they had. The probability of having a partic
finlep [7]

Answer:

a) We need to check two conditions:

1) \sum_{i=1}^n P_i = 1

0.05+0.14+0.34+0.24+0.11+0.07+0.02+0.02+0.01= 1

2) P_i \geq 0 , \forall i=1,2,...,n

So we satisfy the two conditions so then we have a probability distribution

b) P(C \geq 1)

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

P(C \geq 1)= 1-P(C

c) P(C=0) = 0.05

d) For this case we see that the result from part b use the probability calculated from part c using the complement rule.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following probability distribution given:

C    0        1        2         3       4       5        6       7        8      

P  0.05   0.14   0.34   0.24  0.11  0.07  0.02  0.02  0.01

And we assume the following questions:

a) Verify that this is a probability distribution

We need to check two conditions:

1) \sum_{i=1}^n P_i = 1

0.05+0.14+0.34+0.24+0.11+0.07+0.02+0.02+0.01= 1

2) P_i \geq 0 , \forall i=1,2,...,n

So we satisfy the two conditions so then we have a probability distribution

b) What is the probability one randonmly chosen classmate has at least one child

For this case we want this probability:

P(C \geq 1)

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

P(C \geq 1)= 1-P(C

c) What is the probability one randonmly chosen classmate has no children

For this case we want this probability:

P(C=0) = 0.05

d) Look at the answers for parts b and c and explain their relationship

For this case we see that the result from part b use the probability calculated from part c using the complement rule.
