Answer:
An equation is used when we have paired sets of data to describe how the values in one pair change when we alter the values in the other set.
On the other hand, a series gives a general formula of determining the value of the nth observation when the values have been arranged in increasing order
Step-by-step explanation:
An equation such as; y = 3x+5 models the relation between the response variable y and the predictor variable x. It tells us how y changes when x is altered by a certain magnitude. The value 3 is described as the slope while 5 is the y-intercept.
On the other hand, a series such as; score = 2 + 3n provides a general formula that can be used to determine the score of the nth individual in a sample or population.
To do this you need to work backwards. if you note the number as 'n' you can put
7n = 5600
to find n you simply divide both sides by 7 getting
n = 5600/7
n = 800
Answer: 40%
=========================================
Work Shown:
"given that it's a senior" is an important piece of info that tells us to only focus on the "seniors" column. The word "given" is an indication that we know this information 100%
There are 5 seniors (2+3 = 5) and 2 of them are male. So 2/5 = 0.40 = 40% of the seniors are male. The probability of selecting a male, if we know this person is a senior, is 40%
