Answer:

1) 0.338

2) 0.4065

3) 0.2555

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The probability that they will lose both contracts is the probability of losing contract 1 and 2 altogether:

The probability of losing contract 1 is: 1 - 0.35 = 0.65

The probability of losing contract 2, given that they lose contract 1 is: 1 - 0.48 = 0.52

The probability of losing both contracts is 0.65*0.52 = 0.338

2. The probability that they win only one contract is the probability they they win contract 1, lose contract 2, plus the probability that they lose contract 2, win contract 1:

0.35*(1-0.73) + (1-0.35)*0.48 = 0.0945 + 0.312 = 0.4065

3. The probability that they win both contract is

0.35 * 0.73 = 0.2555

An electric utility company determines the monthly bill for a residential customer by adding an energy charge of 7.32 cents per
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

y(x) = 0.0732x + 17.32

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the monthly charge has the following format

y(x) = ax + b

In which y(x) is the cost in function of the number of kilowatt-hours used(x), a is the price of each killowatt hour and b is the fixed(base) charge.

Base charge of $17.32 per month.

This means that b = 17.32

charge of 7.32 cents per kilowatt-hour

Our answer is in dollars. Each dollar is 100 cents. So 7.32 cents is a = 0.0732

Write an equation for the monthly charge y in terms of x, the number of kilowatt-hours used.

y(x) = ax + b

y(x) = 0.0732x + 17.32

Can Somebody Please Help With This?
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

  see below

Step-by-step explanation:

A multiplier on the function value moves its y-coordinate farther from the x-axis by that multiplier value. It is the stretch factor. Stretch factors less than 1 cause the graph to be compressed vertically.

__

A multiplier on the independent variable means it doesn't need to be as large to give the same function value. That is, multiplication of x by a factor of k compresses the graph horizontally by that factor of k. Equivalently, it does a horizontal stretch by a factor of 1/k.
