Yes you have a good example.
x = number of cookies
2*x = total amount spent on cookies at $2 each
2x-3 = amount you pay after the $3 discount is applied one time for the entire order
-------------
a more numeric example may be this
Lets say you bought 12 cookies, so x = 12
This means it costs 2*x = 2*12 = 24 dollars total if the discount doesnt apply
However, the 3 dollar discount is there, so the grand total is 24-3 = 21 dollars.
The slope is 2 and the y intercept is 3 m = 3 and b = 2x
Answer:
P(Y=1|X=3)=0.125
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
p(1,1)=0
p(2,1)=0.1
p(3,1)=0.05
p(1,2)=0.05
p(2,2)=0.3
p(3,2)=0.1
p(1,3)=0.05
p(2,3)=0.1
p(3,3)=0.25
Now we are supposed to find the conditional mass function of Y given X=3 : P(Y=1|X=3)
P(X=3) = P(X=3,Y=1)+P(X=3,Y=2) +P(X=3,Y=3)
P(X=3)=p(3,1) +p(3,2) +p(3,3)
P(X=3)=0.05+0.1+0.25=0.4
Hence P(Y=1|X=3)=0.125
Answer:
1/2 or one half
Step-by-step explanation:
The 8 percent commission must be at least $1000.
8% = $1000
1% = $125
100% = $12500
Hence, Jim needs to sell $12500 dollars worth of widgets.
