Which linear function represent the table?

rodikova [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:So, if the graph is a straight line, it is the graph of a linear function. From a table, you can verify a linear function by examining the x and y values. The rate of change for y with respect to x remains constant for a linear function. This rate of change is called the slope.Mar 9, 2011

The table gives the relative frequencies of recipes that contains sugar and salt, contain at least one of those ingredients, or

tigry1 [53]

<u>Answer-</u>

<em>The probability that a randomly selected recipe does not contain sugar, given that it contains salt is 22.4%</em>

<u>Solution-</u>

The given table in the link shows the relative frequencies of recipes that contains sugar and salt, or contains at least one of those ingredients, or contains neither of those ingredients.

We have to find the conditional probability that the recipe doesn't contain sugar, given that it contains salt.

We know that, the conditional probability of occurrence of A given that B occurs is,

$P(A|B)=\frac{P(A\ and\ B)}{P(B)} =\frac{P(A\bigcap B)}{P(B)}$

$P(\text{Doesn't contain sugar}\ |\ \text{Contains salt})=\frac{P(\text{Doesn't contain sugar}\ and\ \text{Contains salt})}{P(\text{Contains salt})}$

$P(\text{Doesn't contain sugar}\ and\ \text{Contains salt})=\frac{0.15}{1} =0.15\\P(\text{Contains salt})=\frac{0.67}{1}=0.67$

Putting these values,

$P(\text{Doesn't contain sugar}\ |\ \text{Contains salt})=\frac{0.15}{0.67} =0.224=22.4\%$
