Complete question :

Each state imposes its own excise tax on gasoline. Suppose, for example, that the state of Massachusetts imposes a state gasoline tax of $0.26 per gallon. Suppose further that an average of 1,022,000 gallons of gasoline per day were sold in Massachusetts in 2010. The average revenue from gasoline tax in 2010 is approximately?

Answer:

$265,720

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

State gasoline tax = $0.26 per gallon

Average number of gasoline sold per day = 1,022,000 gallons

. From the availabke information given :

Revenue generated = gasoline tax per gallon multiplied by the average number of gallons sold

= $0.26 * 1,022,000

= $265,720

The average rate of change from x = 0 to x = 15 is about −4.667. How does the average rate of change from x = 0 to x = 20 compar
Amanda [17]
First we calculate the ambio rate from x = 0 to x = 15:
 We have:
 R = ((80-10) / (0-15))
 R = -4.666666667
 We now calculate for the entire interval:
 from x = 0 to x = 20:
 R = ((80-2) / (0-20))
 R = -3.9
 Answer:
 What is the average rate of change over the entire slide?
 R = -3.9
 The average rate of change from x = 0 to x = 15 is about -4.667. How does the average rate change from x = 0 to x = 20 compare to this number?
 The percentage difference is:
 (-3.9 / -4.666666667) * (100) = 83.57142857%
 100-83.57142857 = 16.42857143%

A rectangular plot of land that contains 1500 square meters will be fenced and divided into two equal portions by an additional
WINSTONCH [101]
Let x = the length of the rectangle
Let w= the width

Two sections are required, hence 2w of fence required
2x+3w=500

this can be written as:
3w=1500-2x
w=(1500-2x)/3

Area=x*w
replacing w with our expression:
A=x(1500-2x)/3
A=(500x-2x^2)/3

This is a quadratic equation, if we find the axis of symmetry we will know what value of x gives maximum area:
Axis of symmetry: x=-b/2a
From our equation we get:
a=-2/3; b=1500/3
thus
x=(1500/3)/(-(-2/3))
x=750
thus the maximum area will be given by length of 750

The random variable x is said to have the yule simon distribution if
balu736 [363]
The Yule-Simon distribution is a discrete probability distribution. It is named after Udny Yule and Herbert A. Simon. 

The Yule–Simon distribution was originally created by Yule as a limiting distribution model for a particular stochastic process, called the "Yule process" or the "preferential attachment process," in his study of the distribution of biological taxa and subtaxa.

The random variable X is said to have the Yule-Simon distribution if 

P (X=k) =  <u>            4              </u>      where   k = 1,2,...<u>
</u>
                     k (k+1)(k+2)

9 out of 10 people at a game are rooting for the home team. What is the probability that exactly 6 of 8 people sitting together
scZoUnD [109]

A random supporter roots the home team with probability 0.9, and the away team with probability 0.1.

Choosing 6 out of 8 supporters who root for the home team has probability

\displaystyle\binom{8}{6}\cdot 0.9^6\cdot 0.1^2 = 28\cdot0.531441\cdot 0.01=0.14
