Answer:
a) 4/25, or 0.16, or 16%
b) 1/5, or 0.2, or 20%
c) The first option - the theoretical and experimental values should become closer the more trials that are performed.
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 4 of Tammy's 25 spins landed on black, so the experimental probability is 4/25, or 0.16, or 16%.
b) The spinner is split into 5 equal sections. Assuming it is fair, the chance of landing in any given section for a single spin is 1/5, or 0.2, or 20%.
c) The theoretical and experimental values should get closers the more trials you do.
For example, consider 1 coin flip vs 100. The theoretical probability of landing on a given side of a coin is 1/2, or 0.5, or 50%. With a single flip, your experimental probability will either be 0% or 100%, both off of the theoretical probability by 50%. After 100 flips however, the experimental and theoretical probabilities will be much closer to each other.
The linear function that models the total cost for x deliveries is:
-------------------
A linear function has the following format:
In which
- m is the slope, that is, the rate of change.
- b is the y-intercept, that is, the value of y when x = 0.
In this problem:
- Fixed cost of $9 per month,
. - Cost of $2 for each delivery, thus
.
The function for the <u>total cost for x deliveries is:</u>
