C. You'd be starting at a higher floor (positive number) and descending floors (negative number per x). If you assume x is time it's a little more logical and visual.

Answer:

The correct option is c.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope intercept of the function is

y=mx+b

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept of the line.

It is given that the floor number of an elevator descending at a steady rate. It means the value of m must be negative.

In option a and d the value of m is 2 which is a positive number. Therefore option a is and d are incorrect.

y represents the floor number and x represents the time. So, y-intercept represents the number of floor at initial stage.

The number of floor can not be a number, so the value of b must be positive.

In option b the value of b is -75 which is a negative number. Therefore option b is incorrect.

In option c the value of m is -2 which is a negative and b is 75 which is a positive number. Therefore option c is correct.

The average of 5 quiz grades is 10. When the lowest grade is dropped and the new average is calculated, it turns out to be 11. W
V125BC [204]

Answer:

The score of the dropped grade is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average of a set of numbers you need to add all the numbers and divide by how many numbers there are. The problem wants you to solve it in reverse. Let put this into an algebraic equation with a, b, c, d, and e being the variables of the test scores

(a+b+c+d+e)/5=10

Then we can multiply both sides by 5 and get

a+b+c+d+e=50

Lets assume that c is the lowest test score. To calculate the average of that we get

a+b+d+e/4=11

Doing the same thing, we know that a+b+d+e=44

Now compare the two:

a+b+c+d+e=50

a+b+d+e=44

We can now know that c=50-44=6

So, 6 is the score of the dropped quiz. Hope that helped!

Suppose we have a bag with $10$ slips of paper in it. Eight slips have a $3$ on them and the other two have a $9$ on them. How m

<h3>What is Probability?</h3>

The area of mathematics known as probability deals with numerical descriptions of how likely it is for an event to happen or for a claim to be true. A number between 0 and 1 is the probability of an event, where, broadly speaking, 0 denotes the event's impossibility and 1 denotes its certainty.

According to the given information:

1) There are a total of 10 slips after adding.

8 slip with 3 on it

2 slips with 9  on it

 value = Probability of 3 x 3 plus Probability of 9 x 9.

=  (8 / 11)  x 3 + (2/ 11)  x 9

24 / 11 + 24 / 11 = 4.36

2 )No of total slips after addition = 12

8 slip with 3 on it

4 slips with 9  on it

 value = Probability of 3 x 3 plus Probability of 9 x 9.

=  (8 / 12)  x 3 + (4 / 12)  x 9

2 + 3 = 5

3 )Let n be the required number

No of total slips after addition = 10+n

8 slip with 3 on it

2 + n  slips with 9  on it

value = Probability of 3 x 3 plus Probability of 9 x 9.

=  (8 / 10+n )  x 3 + (2+n  / 10+n )  x 9 = 6

24 + 18 + 9n / 10 + n  = 6

42 + 9n = 60 + 6n

3 n = 18

n = 6

4 )Let n be the required number

No of total slips after addition = 10+n

8 slip with 3 on it

2 + n  slips with 9  on it

expectation value = probability of 3 x 3 + probability of 9 x 9

=  (8 / 10+n )  x 3 + (2+n  / 10+n )  x 9 = 8

24 + 18 + 9n / 10 + n  = 8

42 + 9n = 80 + 8n

n = 38

Minimum of 38 has to be added .

I understand that the question you are looking for is:

1:Suppose we have a bag with $10$ slips of paper in it. Eight slips have a $3$ on them and the other two have a $9$ on them. What is the expected value of the number shown if we add one additional $9$ to the bag? 2:Suppose we have a bag with $10$ slips of paper in it. Eight slips have a $3$ on them and the other two have a $9$ on them. What is the expected value of the number shown if we add two additional $9$'s (instead of just one) to the bag? 3:Suppose we have a bag with $10$ slips of paper in it. Eight slips have a $3$ on them and the other two have a $9$ on them. How many $9$'s do we have to add to make the expected value equal to $6$? 4:Suppose we have a bag with $10$ slips of paper in it. Eight slips have a $3$ on them and the other two have a $9$ on them. How many $9$'s do I have to add before the expected value is at least $8$?
