Question

A research analyst for a car rental agency found that the probability distribution function for the age of the rental car (in years) is a straight line. The line decreases from the point (0, h) to the point (10, 0). None of the rental cars are older than 10 years. Enter your answers as decimals. 7(a). What is the height for the line when the age of the car is zero?

Answer 1

Answer:

10 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Decline from (0,h) to (10,0)

See attachment for graph

Required

Determine the age when height = 0

The function of the graph is represented as: (age, height)

So, we need to read from the graph the corresponding value of age (on the x-axis) when height = 0 (i.e. the y-axis)

From the attached graph;

$age = 10$ when $height = 0$

Hence, the age of the car is 10 years
