First choice is "1 of 10 grape lollipops from 35 lollipops"
The probablity is 10/35 = 2/7
Second choice is "1 of 18 apple lollipops from 34 lollipops"
So probablity is 18/34 = 9/17
Between this is AND so you have to these probablities multiply:
P(A) = 2/7 * 9/17 = 18/119
P(A) = 18/119 * 100% = 1800/119 %
It is approximaly 15,1 %.
Rates like $ per channel is a slope, "m". The added fee is a constant so it's the intercept "b".
y = mx + b
So for the first problem (9)
(a)
y = total cost in dollars
x = number of premium channels
y = 16x + 44
(b) when x = 3 channels
y = 16(3) + 44
y = 92 $
the second problem (10)
(a) every 4 years the tree grows by 12-9=3 ft
So the unit rate or slope will be 3 ft per 4 yrs, (3/4). You can see this also by solving for slope "m" using the given points (4,9) and (8,12).
x = number of years
y = height of tree in ft
y = (3/4)x + b
use one of the points to find the y-intercept "b".
9 = (3/4)(4) + b
9 = 3 + b
9 - 3 = b
6 = b
y = (3/4)x + 6
(b) when x = 16
y = (3/4)(16) + 6
y = 12 + 6
y = 18 ft
Thé correct answer is the third one
