I dont know if this helps since no one else is answering I’d like to help
To find slope.. the M in the slope formula of y=Mx+b represents slope
So as long as you know what point on the graph represents what then it should be easy
In most cases.. finding slope is where the line meets on the x axis
Answer:
a) Var[z] = 1600
D[z] = 40
b) Var[z] = 2304
D[z] = 48
c) Var[z] = 80
D[z] = 8.94
d) Var[z] = 80
D[z] = 8.94
e) Var[z] = 320
D[z] = 17.88
Step-by-step explanation:
In general
V([x+y] = V[x] + V[y] +2Cov[xy]
how in this problem Cov[XY] = 0, then
V[x+y] = V[x] + V[y]
Also we must use this properti of the variance
V[ax+b] =
V[x]
and remember that
standard desviation = ![\sqrt{Var[x]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%7BVar%5Bx%5D%7D)
a) z = 35-10x
Var[z] =
Var[x] = 100*16 = 1600
D[z] =
= 40
b) z = 12x -5
Var[z] =
Var[x] = 144*16 = 2304
D[z] =
= 48
c) z = x + y
Var[z] = Var[x+y] = Var[x] + Var[y] = 16 + 64 = 80
D[z] =
= 8.94
d) z = x - y
Var[z] = Var[x-y] = Var[x] + Var[y] = 16 + 64 = 80
D[z] =
= 8.94
e) z = -2x + 2y
Var[z] = 4Var[x] + 4Var[y] = 4*16 + 4*64 = 320
D[z] =
= 17.88
Answer:
<em>The cost of 15 potatoes is $7.50</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The potatoes are sold at a rate of $0.5 per potato.
1. Given Amanda can only spend $5 on potatoes at that price, she can buy at most $5 / 0.5 = 10 potatoes.
Amanda can buy at most 10 potatoes
2. Sam wants to buy 15 potatoes at that very same price. The cost of 15 potatoes is:
15 * $0.5 = $7.50
The cost of 15 potatoes is $7.50
