The equations of two functions are y=-21x+9 and y=24x+8 which function is changing more quickly? Explain
antoniya [11.8K]

Given:

The equations are

y=-21x+9

y=24x+8

To find:

Which function is changing more quickly.

Solution:

The slope intercept form of a line is

y=mx+b

Where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

On comparing y=-21x+9 with the slope intercept form, we get

m_1=-21

|m_1|=|-21|

|m_1|=21

On comparing y=24x+8 with the slope intercept form, we get

m_2=24

|m_2|=24

Since, |m_1|, it means the absolute rate of change of second function is greater than the first function.

Therefore, the second function is changing more quickly.

Historical data for a local manufacturing company show that the average number of defects per product produced is 2. In addition
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

The probability that there will be a total of 7 defects on four units  is 0.14.

Step-by-step explanation:

A Poisson distribution describes the probability distribution of number of success in a specified time interval.

The probability distribution function for a Poisson distribution is:

P(X = x)=\frac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^{x}}{x!}, x=0,1,2,3,...

Let <em>X</em> = number of defects in a unit produced.

It is provided that there are, on average, 2 defects per unit produced.

Then in 4 units the number of defects is, (2\times4)=8.

Compute the probability of exactly 7 defects in 4 units as follows:

P(X = x)=\frac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^{x}}{x!}\\P(X=7)=\frac{e^{-8}8^{7}}{7!}\\=\frac{0.0003355\times2097152}{5040}\\ =0.1396\\\approx0.14

Thus, the probability of exactly 7 defects in 4 units is 0.14.

What is a decimal ( Definition, Example, Non-Example, Facts/Characteristics)
evablogger [386]
A decimal is "." this symbol is used to separate whole numbers from a number value that is less than 1. Decimals basically puts things in its correct "place"  according to the place value chart. | Example : $ 1.70 ; Without the decimal point this would be 170$ and in reality it is only one dollar and seventy cents. |
