What equation best models this data? (Use y to represent the population in millions, and t to represent the year, assuming that

2010 is t = 0.)

Answer:

y = 2.31x + 309.35

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever you are checking for a best fitting equation you want to check if it has a constant slope.  If it does then the relation is linear and super easy.

So, since the t values are increasing by the same amount you want to see if the y values are  too.  And they are, each population entry is increasing by 2.31, this is the slope.  

Also, keep in mind you can caluclate slope with the equation \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}  here x is replaced by t though.

Now, since we know it's linear and we know the slope we can find the equation with the formula  y - y1 = m(x - x1) where again, x is replaced by t and m is the slope 2.31

I am just going to use the first point.  so x1 = t1 = 0

y - 309.35 = 2.31(x-0)

y = 2.31x + 309.35

Let me know if there was something you didn't understand.

Answer:

x= {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}

Step-by-step explanation:

As the random variable takes the values from 0 ----10 it can be written as

x= {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}

The probability of the defective and non defective items would be

P ( defective) = 12/ 100 = 0.12

P ( non defective) = 1-0.12= 0.88

Since the events are independent the probability of defective items in the randomly 10 selected items would be given

P (1/10) * 0.12 +P ( 2/10) * 0.12 + P(3/10)*0.12 ,---------,+P (10/10) * 0.12

Similarly the probability of non defective item s would be

P (1/10) * 0.88 +P ( 2/10) * 0.88 + P(3/10)*0.88 ---------P (10/10) * 0.88

That is the individual probability is multiplied with the probability of the defective or non defective items to get the total probability of defective and non defective items as the events are independent.

The Gross Domestic of a country in the first quarter of 2014 was $1.3299×10×8.<br> GPD=$
krek1111 [17]

The GDP of the country for 2014 is $5.3196 × 10⁸.

<h3>What is multiplication?</h3>

Multiplication is the process of multiplying, therefore, adding a number to itself for the number of times stated. For example, 3 × 4 means 3 is added to itself 4 times, and vice versa for the other number.

Given the Gross Domestic of a country in the first quarter of 2014 was $1.3299×10⁸. Therefore, the GDP of the country for that year will be,

GDP = 4 × (Gross Domestic for a single quarter)

         = 4 × ($1.3299×10⁸)

         = $5.3196 × 10⁸

Hence, the GDP of the country for 2014 is $5.3196 × 10⁸.
