X = # of perfomances
y = total amount of money
Income: y = 7500x
Expense: y = 5900x + 88000
Substitution:
7500x = 5900x + 88000
1600x = 88000
x = 55
y = 7500(55) = $412,500
55 performances are needed to break-even.
Number 4: line XZ; number 5: theory of congruent triangles.
Answer:
y = (-1/3)(x + 10)
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the new (perpendicular) line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line, which appears to be 3. Thus, the perpendicular line has the slope -1/3.
Using the slope-intercept form y = mx + b, and substituting the givens, we obtain:
y = mx + b => -6 = (-1/3)(8) + b, or
-6 = -8/3 + b. We must solve for the y-intercept, b:
Multiplying all three terms by 3 removes the fraction:
-18 = -8 + 3b. Thus, -10 = 3b, and so b must be -10/3.
The desired equation is
y = (-1/3)x - 10/3, or
y = (-1/3)(x + 10)
Answer:
- p=0.7103 (4-game series)
- p=0.6480 (2-game series)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X be the random variable equal the the first 4 straight wins. An overall win for the stronger team implies a negative binomial function with the parameters n=4, p=0.6:
#We find probabilities for the different values of i:
Hence, probability of the stronger team winning overall is:
#Define Y as the random variable for winning 2/3 games.:
Hence, probability of the stronger team winning in 2 out 3 game series is 0.6480
The stronger team has a higher chance of winning in a 4-game series(0.7103>0.6480)
