Hasan plans to choose a book from a section of the store where everything is 25%25% off. He writes the expression d−0.25dd-0.25d
to find the sale price of the book if the original price is dd dollars. Bella correctly writes another expression, 0.75d0.75d, that will also find the sale price of the book if the original price is dd dollars. Use the drop-down menus to explain what each part of Hasan's and Bella's expressions mean.

We know that
case a)
the equation of the vertical parabola write in vertex form is
y=a(x-h)²+k,
where (h, k) is the vertex.
Using our vertex, we have:
y=a(x-2)²-1
We know that the parabola goes through (5, 0),
so
we can use these coordinates to find the value of a:
0=a(5-2)²-1
0=a(3)²-1
0=9a-1
Add 1 to both sides:
0+1=9a-1+1
1=9a
Divide both sides by 9:
1/9 = 9a/9
1/9 = a
y=(1/9)(x-2)²-1
the answer is
a=1/9
case b)
the equation of the horizontal parabola write in vertex form is
x=a(y-k)²+h,
where (h, k) is the vertex.
Using our vertex, we have:
x=a(y+1)²+2,
We know that the parabola goes through (5, 0),
so
we can use these coordinates to find the value of a:
5=a(0+1)²+2
5=a+2
a=5-2
a=3
x=3(y+1)²+2
the answer is
a=3

Answer:
(a) 0.20
(b) 31%
(c) 2.52 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
The random variable <em>Y</em> models the amount of time the subject has to wait for the light to flash.
The density curve represents that of an Uniform distribution with parameters <em>a</em> = 1 and <em>b</em> = 5.
So,
(a)
The area under the density curve is always 1.
The length is 5 units.
Compute the height as follows:
Thus, the height of the density curve is 0.20.
(b)
Compute the value of P (Y > 3.75) as follows:
Thus, the light will flash more than 3.75 seconds after the subject clicks "Start" 31% of the times.
(c)
Compute the 38th percentile as follows:
Thus, the 38th percentile is 2.52 seconds.
