Answer:

-2x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Trust me, this is the answer.

An explanation:

Slope is rate of change.

if the lady sells 2 cakes in 3 hours, her rate of change, or slope is 2/3.

Y-intercept is where the data enters the graph. It will not always be at the origin of the graph. If on the lady's first day of business, she sold 10 cakes, the Y-intercept is 10. This equation of the lady's business in slope intercept form would be 2/3x + 10. ALWAYS write the slope before x and the y intercept after the + or -- , hope this helps, but -2x + 3 is your answer for sure.

Answer:

49.6

Step-by-step explanation:

A = πr2, (Pi r-squared)

A = (3.14)(8)2

A = (3.14) (64)

A = 198.4

but you need to take 1/4th of that since you are only looking at 1/4th of the circle so,

.25 x 198.4 = 49.6

at a local green market, Debra bought 5 ounces of chinese long beans for $13.55. at that rate , how much would she pay for 8 oun

kumpel [21]

In my opinion I think that you have to multiply 13.55 by 8 ounces to find how much she needs to pay.

The sum of two consecutive integers is at most 3. what is the greatest possible value for the greater integer?

Rudik [331]

2 consecutive integers...x and x + 1

x + x + 1 < = 3
2x + 1 < = 3
2x < = 3 - 1
2x < = 2
x < = 1

x + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2.......the greatest possible value for the greatest integer is 2

In a pizza takeout restaurant, the following probability distribution was obtained for the number of toppings ordered on a large

Elis [28]

Answer:

The random variable (number of toppings ordered on a large pizza) has a mean of 1.14 and a standard deviation of 1.04.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete:

The probability distribution is:

x P(x)

0 0.30

1 0.40

2 0.20

3 0.06

4 0.04

The mean can be calculated as:

$M=\sum p_iX_i=0.3\cdot 0+0.4\cdot 1+0.2\cdot 2+0.06\cdot 3+0.04\cdot 4\\\\M=0+0.4+0.4+0.18+0.16\\\\M=1.14$

(pi is the probability of each class, Xi is the number of topping in each class)

The standard deviation is calculated as:

$s=\sqrt{\sum p_i(X_i-M)^2}\\\\s=\sqrt{0.3(0-1.14)^2+0.4(1-1.14)^2+0.2(2-1.14)^2+0.06(3-1.14)^2+0.04(4-1.14)^2}\\\\s=\sqrt{0.3(-1.14)^2+0.4(-0.14)^2+0.2(0.86)^2+0.06(1.86)^2+0.04(2.86)^2}\\\\ s=\sqrt{0.3(1.2996)+0.4(0.0196)+0.2(0.7396)+0.06(3.4596)+0.04(8.1796)}\\\\s=\sqrt{0.3899+0.0078+0.1479+0.2076+0.3272}\\\\ s=\sqrt{ 1.0804 }\\\\s\approx 1.04$
