A party planner estimates a party will cost $200 plus $8 for each person attending. What is the y-intercept of the graph of the

Nady [450]

Answer:

The y intercept is 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Base Cost = 200

Per person =8

Required

Determine the y intercept

First, we need to determine the equation.

The total amount (y) for x persons can be calculated using:

y = Base Cost + Amount per person * x.

This gives

y = 200 + 8 * x

y = 200 + 8x

The general expression of a linear equation is:

y = mx + b

Where b = y intercept

By comparison,

b = 200

Hence, the y intercept is 200

Alice works at a health care facility. She has measured the hemoglobin levels of 200 people. The data follows a normal distribut

ICE Princess25 [194]

If the data follows a normal distribution:
Less than 13 ( less than a mean - 1 sigma ): 16% of a population.
0.16 · 200 = 32
Greater than 14 ( 14 is a mean value ): 50% of a population.
0.5 · 200 = 100
Answer:
... about 32 people have hemoglobin levels less than 13, and about 100 people have hemoglobin levels greater than 14.
