Answer:
m = - , c = -
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Given
2x + 3y + 1 = 0 ( subtract 2x + 1 from both sides )
3y = - 2x - 1 ( divide terms by 3 )
y = - x -
← in slope- intercept form
with m = - and c = -
Answer:
a) 0.32 = 32% probability that your bid will be accepted
b) 0.72 = 72% probability that your bid will be accepted
c) An amount in excess of $15,400.
Step-by-step explanation:
An uniform probability is a case of probability in which each outcome is equally as likely.
For this situation, we have a lower limit of the distribution that we call a and an upper limit that we call b.
The probability that we find a value X lower than x is given by the following formula.
Assume that the competitor's bid x is a random variable that is uniformly distributed between $10,400 and $15,400.
This means that
a. Suppose you bid $12,000. What is the probability that your bid will be accepted (to 2 decimals)?
You will win if the competitor bids less than 12000. So
0.32 = 32% probability that your bid will be accepted
b. Suppose you bid $14,000. What is the probability that your bid will be accepted?
You will win if the competitor bids less than 14000. So
0.72 = 72% probability that your bid will be accepted
c. What amount should you bid to maximize the probability that you get the property (in dollars)?
His bid is uniformly distributed between $10,400 and $15,400.
So, to maximize the probability that you get the property, you should bid an amount in excess of $15,400.
