For eliminating you need to have a variable that cancels the other out and in this case 2x and -2x do. Then you want to take -3y+9y and add the numbers after the equal sign. -9+3
The slope is -3/2 and the y-intercept is -3. If you need me to explain I can do that :) hope this helps
Answer:
Approximately
(
.) (Assume that the choices of the
passengers are independent. Also assume that the probability that a passenger chooses a particular floor is the same for all
floors.)
Step-by-step explanation:
If there is no requirement that no two passengers exit at the same floor, each of these
passenger could choose from any one of the
floors. There would be a total of
unique ways for these
passengers to exit the elevator.
Assume that no two passengers are allowed to exit at the same floor.
The first passenger could choose from any of the
floors.
However, the second passenger would not be able to choose the same floor as the first passenger. Thus, the second passenger would have to choose from only
floors.
Likewise, the third passenger would have to choose from only
floors.
Thus, under the requirement that no two passenger could exit at the same floor, there would be only
unique ways for these two passengers to exit the elevator.
By the assumption that the choices of the passengers are independent and uniform across the
floors. Each of these
combinations would be equally likely.
Thus, the probability that the chosen combination satisfies the requirements (no two passengers exit at the same floor) would be:
