Answer:

y-intercept = 3

The y-intercept represents the initial fee before any miles are traveled.

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point where the graph of the linear equation crosses the y-axis. The y-intercept is also the value of y when x = 0. The coordinates of the y-intercept is (0, b ).

Looking at your graph, it shows that the line crosses the y-axis at (0, 3). Therefore, the y-intercept = 3.

The y-intercept represents the initial fee before any miles are traveled. This means that the taxi ride already has a set amount of $3, regardless of the number of miles traveled. This is added to the total cost of the taxi fare, which is represented by y.

9 apples and 9 bananas cost £2.43 altogether. The total cost of 2 apples and 3 bananas is £0.69. Calculate the cost of an apple

vekshin1

Answer: 0.27£

Explanation:

9 apples + 9 bananas = 2.43
9(apple + banana) = 2.43
Apple + banana = 2.43/9
Apple + banana = 0.27£

Therefore, the cost of an apple AND a banana is 0.27£

In the Ardmore Hotel, 20 percent of the guests (the historical percentage) pay by American Express credit card. (a) What is the

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

(a) The expected number of guests until the next one pays by American Express credit card is 4.

(b) The probability that the first guest to use an American Express is within the first 10 to checkout is 0.0215.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable X can be defined as the number of guests until the next one pays by American Express credit card

The probability that a guest paying by American Express credit card is, p = 0.20.

The random variable X follows a Geometric distribution since it is defined as the number of trials before the first success.

The probability mass function of X is:

$P(X=x)=(1-p)^{x}p;\ x=0,1,2,3...,\ 0$

(a)

The expected value of a Geometric distribution is:

$E(X)=\frac{1-p}{p}$

Compute the expected number of guests until the next one pays by American Express credit card as follows:

$E(X)=\frac{1-p}{p}$

$=\frac{1-0.20}{0.20}$

$=4$

Thus, the expected number of guests until the next one pays by American Express credit card is 4.

(b)

Compute the probability that the first guest to use an American Express is within the first 10 to checkout as follows:

$P(X=10)=(1-0.20)^{10}\times0.20$

$=0.1073741824\times 0.20\\=0.02147483648\\\approx0.0215$

Thus, the probability that the first guest to use an American Express is within the first 10 to checkout is 0.0215.

Given the points A(3, 4) and B (6, 10), find the

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

P (5 , 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

P (x,y) partition A (x₁ , y₁) B (x₂ , y₂) into ratio AM:MB = a:b = 2:1 ... a=2 , b=1

x = (bx₁ + ax₂) / (a+b)

= (1 * 3 + 2 * 6) / (2 + 1)

= 15/3

= 5

y = (by₁ + ay₂) / (a+b)

= (1 * 4 + 2 * 10) / (2 + 1)

= 24/3

= 8

P (5 , 8)
