The rate of change is the same as “change in y/change in x (Slope).”

21/4

Answer:

21/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of change also means slope.

Pick any two points, for example (8,167) and (12, 188)

Now use the formula y2-y1/x2 - x1 to find slope

188 - 167/ 12 - 8

21/4

The rate of change is 21/4, <em>note you would NOT convert the fraction into to a decimal until your teacher specifies you to.</em>

About 33% of people who get their feet examined are found to have an ingrown toenail. What is the probability of a podiatrist ex

enot [183]

Answer:

The correct answer is 0.94147

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A denote the event that the podiatrist finds the first person with an ingrown toenail.

And (1 - A) denote the event that the podiatrist does not find the ingrown toenail.

While examining seven people, the podiatrist can find the very first person to have an ingrown toenail. Similarly he can find the second patient to have the ingrown toenail. Going in this way the probability of the first person to have an ingrown toenail is given by:

= A + (1 - A) × A + (1 - A) × (1 - A) × A + (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × A + (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × A + (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × A + (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × A.

= $\frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3} \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{1}{3} .$

= $\frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3} \frac{1}{3} + (\frac{2}{3}) ^{2} \frac{1}{3} + (\frac{2}{3})^{3} \frac{1}{3} + (\frac{2}{3})^{4} \frac{1}{3} + (\frac{2}{3})^{5} \frac{1}{3} + (\frac{2}{3})^{6} \frac{1}{3}.$
