Answer:

Slope = rise / run

= -12 / 1500 (It's -12 and not 12 because a drop means it's decreasing)

= -0.008

Answer:

The probabilities are 0.480;0.077 and 0.443 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a conditional probability exercise.

Let's define conditional probability :

Given two events A and B :

$P(A/B)=\frac{P(A,B)}{P(B)} \\P(B) > 0$

P(A,B) = P(A∩B) = P(B∩A) = P(B,A) : Is the probability that event A and event B occur at the same time.

We define the following events :

S1 : ''Specialist 1 processes requisitions''

S2 : ''Specialist 2 processes requisitions''

S3 : ''Specialist 3 preocesses requisitions''

I : ''Incorrect entered requisitions''

In our exercise :

$P(S1)=0.42\\P(S2)=0.27\\P(S3)=0.31\\P(I/S1)=0.04\\P(I/S2)=0.01\\P(I/S3)=0.05$

We are ask to find

$P(S1/I) ;P(S2/I);P(S3/I)$

We write the conditional equations :

$P(I/S1)=\frac{P(I,S1)}{P(S1)} \\0.04=\frac{P(I,S1)}{0.42} \\P(I,S1)=0.0168$

$P(I/S2)=\frac{P(I,S2)}{P(S2)} \\0.01=\frac{P(I,S2)}{0.27} \\P(I,S2)=0.0027$

$P(I/S3)=\frac{P(I,S3)}{P(S3)} \\0.05=\frac{P(I,S3)}{0.31} \\P(I,S3)=0.0155$

We also define

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

P(I) = P [(I,S1)∪(I,S2)∪(I,S3)]

$P(I) =P(I,S1) +P(I,S2)+P(I,S3)\\P(I)=0.0168+0.0027+0.0155\\P(I)=0.035$

There is no intersection between (I,S1);(I,S2) and (I,S3) because they are mutually exclusive events.

$P(S1/I)=\frac{P(I,S1)}{P(I)} =\frac{0.0168}{0.035} =0.480\\P(S2/I)=\frac{P(I,S2)}{P(I)} =\frac{0.0027}{0.035} =0.077\\P(S3/I)=\frac{P(I,S3)}{P(I)} =\frac{0.0155}{0.035} =0.443$

Please help me. The function g(x) is a transformation of f(x). If g(x) has a y-intercept at 3, which of the following functions

Step2247 [10]

<h3>Answer: D. g(x) = f(x)+4</h3>

The graph shows f(x) to have a y intercept at -1, which is where the diagonal line crosses the y axis. We want the y intercept to move to 3. So we must add 4 to the old y intercept to get the new y intercept.

We do this with every single point on f(x) to get g(x) = f(x)+4. This shifts the graph up 4 units.

First, you divide 2042/5950 which is about 0.4036, then you move the decimal 2 spaces to the right which is about 40.4, which means that 40% of Tom's income is his mortgage, higher than the average
