Using the probability table, it is found that:

  • a) There is a 0.25 = 25% probability that this couple spends 45 dollars or more.  
  • b) The expected amount the couple actually has to pay is $36.85.

Item a:

To find the probabilities involving the total cost, we have to <u>add the variables X and Y</u> from the table, then:

P(X = 30) = P(X = 15|Y = 15) = 0.2

P(X = 35) = P(X = 15|Y = 20) + P(X = 20|Y = 15) = 0.15 + 0.15 = 0.3

P(X = 40) = P(X = 15|Y = 25) + P(X = 20|Y = 20) + P(X = 25|Y = 15) = 0.05 + 0.15 + 0.05 = 0.25

P(X = 45) = P(X = 20|Y = 25) + P(X = 25|Y = 20) = 0.1 + 0.1 = 0.2

P(X = 50) = P(X = 25|Y = 25) = 0.05

The probability involving <u>values of 45 or more</u> is:

P(X \geq 45) = P(X = 45) + P(X = 50) = 0.2 + 0.05 = 0.25

0.25 = 25% probability that this couple spends 45 dollars or more.

Item b:

For a <em>discrete distribution</em>, the expected value is the <u>sum of each outcome multiplied by it's respective probability</u>, hence, involving the 10% discount for prices above $45:

E(X) = 0.2(30) + 0.3(35) + 0.25(40) + 0.9[0.2(45) + 0.05(50)] = 36.85

The expected amount the couple actually has to pay is $36.85

Dominik [7]

Answer:

1) y = 5/2x - 3/2

2) y = 2/5x - 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

(1, 1) and (3, 6)

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

m= (6 - 1)/(3-1)

m= 5/2

m= 5/2

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 1 = 5/2(x - 1)

y - 1 = 5/2x - 5/2

y = 5/2x - 3/2

2)

(2, 0) and (7, 2)

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

m= (2 - 0)/(7 - 2)

m = 2/5

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 0 = 2/5(x - 2)

y = 2/5x - 4/5
