Answer:

a. 24

b. 2

c. 0.0833 = 8.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

The first "slot" of person to arrive has 4 possibilities, then the second "slot" will have 3 possibilities, as one has already arrived, then the third "slot" has 2 possibilities, and the fourth "slot" has just 1 possibility.

So, multiplying all these combinations, we have 4*3*2*1 = 24 possible ways they can arrive

b.

If the first and the last person are already "locked", we just have possibilities for the second and third person. The second will have 2 possibilities (Sergio or Tyrone), and the third will have only 1 (the person that wasn't the second between Sergio and Tyrone). So, the number of possibilities is 2*1 = 2

c.

If we have 2 cases where Dawn is first and Jim is last, from a total of 24 possible cases, the probability is 2/24 = 1/12 = 0.0833 = 8.33%

To bill customers for water usage, one city converts the number of gallons used into units. This relationship is represented by
Anastaziya [24]

We are given equation g = 748u, where g is the total number of gallons of water used and u is the number of units.

We can see that the number of units of water being used by customers.

The number of units of water doesn't depend on the total number of gallons of water used.  

Therefore, the number of units u is an independent variable.

The value of the total number of gallons is totally depends on the number of units used.

Therefore,  the total number of gallons of water used g is a dependent variable.

So, we can conclude following statements:

1) g is the dependent variable.

2) u is the independent variable.
