A general equation of a linear function is expressed as y = mx + b where m represents the slope and b is the y-intercept. The slope is the rate of change of y with respect x which is equal to 4 for this problem. The y-intercept represents the value when x is equal to zero. It is the initial value of y. In this case, it is equal to $1,000. The linear equation would be:
y = 4x + 1000
assuming y is the income and x is the consumption.
At an income (y) equal to $20,000, we can calculate for the consumption.
20000 = 4x + 1000
19000 = 4x
x = 4750
Answer:
a) N = 240 ways
b) N = 303,600 ways
c) N = 10 ways
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Given
General course consist of one course from each of 4 groups.
Social Science = 5 options
Humanities = 4 options
Natural sciences = 4 options
Foreign language = 3 options.
Therefore the total number of possible ways of selecting one each from each of the 4 groups is:
N = 5×4×4×3 = 240 ways
b) if four people are chosen from 25 member for four different positions, that makes it a permutation problem because order of selection is important.
N = nPr = n!/(n-r)!
n = 25 and r = 4
N = 25P4 = 25!/(25-4)! = 25!/21!
N = 303,600 ways
c) The number of ways by which 5 tosses of coin can yield 2 heads and 3 tails.
N = 5!/(5-5)!(2!)(3!)
N = 5×4/2
N = 10 ways
Simplify both brackets, this equals 22 + 10x - 17 + 5x
Simplify further and you get 15x + 5
