HHenry is going on a trip to Brazil. He is currently deciding which cities he will visit during his stay. The table below shows

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

First, sum up the total expenses for the original plan

Duque de Caxias + Campinas + Rio de Janeiro + Guarulhos = 242+185+193+120 = R$740

It is clearly over the intended budget. The average cost per itinerary is around R$200 so we will consider making a swap on either Duque de Caxias and Rio de Janeiro. Possible answers are (b) or (c)

for (b) Replace Duque de Caxias with Fortaleza, we will have

Fortaleza + Campinas + Rio de Janeiro + Guarulhos =
⇒ 201+185+193+120 = R$699 ⇒ This is exactly the budget intended for the trip

for (C) Replace Rio de Janeiro with Porto Alegre
Duque de Caxias + Campinas + Porto Alegre + Guarulhos =
⇒ 242 + 185 + 153 +120 = R$ 700 ⇒ This is over R$1

The answer is (b)

Clarisse used the ordered pairs (0, 13) and (24, 5) for her trend line. What would be the y-intercept of her trend line?

laila [671]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

You have 2 points to solve the equation y = mx + b. After finding m, use either of the points to find b.

Formula

y = mx + b

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Solution

y2 = 13
y1 = 5
x2 = 0
x1 = 24

m = (13 - 5)/(0 - 24)

m = 8 / - 24

m = - 1/3

y = mx + b

y = -1/3 x + b

Use (0,13) as the point.

13 = -1/3 * 0 + b

13 = b

The y intercept = (0,13)

Miranda has a bag of marbles with 5 blue marbles, 1 white marbles, and 1 red marbles. Find the following probabilities of Mirand

kvasek [131]

Answer:

(a) $\frac{5}{7},\frac{1}{6}$ (b) $\frac{1}{7},\frac{1}{6}$ (c) $\frac{5}{7},\frac{2}{3},\frac{3}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: Miranda has a bag of marbles with $5$ blue marbles, $1$ white marbles, and

TO FIND: a) A Blue, then a red Preview

,b)A red, then a white Preview

,c) A Blue, then a Blue, then a Blue.

SOLUTION:

Total marbles in bag $=7$

(a)

Probability of drawing blue marble $=\frac{\text{total blue marble}}{\text{total marbles}}$

$=\frac{5}{7}$

As marble is not returned to bag,

Probability of drawing red marble $=\frac{\text{total red marble}}{\text{total marbles}}$

$=\frac{1}{6}$

(b)

Probability of drawing red marble $=\frac{\text{total red marble}}{\text{total marbles}}$

$=\frac{1}{7}$

As marble is not returned to bag,

Probability of drawing white marble $=\frac{\text{total white marble}}{\text{total marbles}}$

$=\frac{1}{6}$

(c)

Probability of drawing blue marble $=\frac{\text{total blue marble}}{\text{total marbles}}$

$=\frac{5}{7}$

As marble is not returned to bag,

Probability of drawing second blue marble $=\frac{\text{total blue marble}}{\text{total marbles}}$

$=\frac{4}{6}=\frac{2}{3}$

As marble is not returned to the bag

Probability of drawing third blue marble $=\frac{\text{total blue marble}}{\text{total marbles}}$

$=\frac{3}{5}$
