Jessica is selling books during the summer to earn money for college. She earns a commission on each sale but has to pay for her

own expenses.
After a month of driving from neighborhood to neighborhood and walking door-to-door, she figures out that her weekly earnings are approximately a linear function of the number of doors she knocks on.

She writes the equation of the function like this: E(x) = 20x - 50, where x is the number of doors she knocks on during the week and E(x) is her earnings for the week in dollars.

What does the slope of Jessica's function represent?

a. For each additional set of books she sells, her earnings will increase by $20.

b. For each additional door she knocks on, her earnings will increase by $20.

c. For each additional set of books she sells, her earnings will increase by $50.

d. For each additional door she knocks on, her earnings will increase by $50.

Greetings.

<span>Jessica is selling books during the summer to earn funds for college. She earns commissions on her sales and shoulders her own costs. 

After a month of visiting neighborhoods and going door-to-door, she's discovered that her earnings each week can be approximated by a linear function related to the doors she knocks on. 

She expresses this relationship as E(x) = 20x - 50, where x represents the number of doors knocked in a week and E(x) reflects her weekly earnings in dollars.


</span><span>b. For each additional door she knocks on, her earnings will increase by $20.</span>

To find the answer to the previous question, 
only the number of doors knocked matters for earnings, which means options 1 and 3 can be disregarded because they pertain to book sales rather than the equation. 

<span>Thus, we're left with the possibilities of either a $20 or $50 increase for each door knocked. The x-value we multiply by is 20, making #2 the right choice; her earnings increase by $20 per door. </span>

<span>You can verify this by substituting values: </span>

<span>If we assume 10 doors are knocked: </span>
<span>E(10) = 20(10)-50 = 200-50 = 150 </span>

<span>If we consider 11 doors (one additional door) knocked: </span>
<span>E(11) = 20(11)-50 = 220-50 = 170 </span>

<span>The increase for one door is $20.</span>

The amount of time it takes for a student to complete a statistics quiz is uniformly distributed (or, given by a random variable
Zina [9171]

Answer:

(A) 0.15625

(B) 0.1875

(C) Cannot be determined

Step-by-step explanation:

The time it takes for a student to finish a statistics quiz is uniformly distributed between 32 and 64 minutes.

Let's denote X as the duration needed for the student to complete the statistics quiz

Thus, X ~ U(32, 64)

The probability density function (PDF) for a uniform distribution is expressed as;

f(X) = \frac{1}{b-a},  a < X < b      where a = 32 and b = 64

The cumulative distribution function (CDF) is given by P(X <= x) = \frac{x-a}{b-a}

(A) The probability of a student taking longer than 59 minutes to complete the quiz = P(X > 59)

   P(X > 59) = 1 - P(X <= 59) = 1 - \frac{x-a}{b-a} = 1 - \frac{59-32}{64-32} = 1-\frac{27}{32} = 0.15625

(B) The probability that a student completes the quiz between 37 and 43 minutes = P(37 <= X <= 43)  = P(X <= 43) - P(X < 37)

    P(X <= 43) = \frac{43-32}{64-32} = \frac{11}{32} = 0.34375

    P(X < 37) = \frac{37-32}{64-32} = \frac{5}{32} = 0.15625

    P(37 <= X <= 43) = 0.34375 - 0.15625 = 0.1875

(C) The probability that a student takes exactly 44.74 minutes to complete the quiz

     = P(X = 44.74)

This probability cannot be calculated as it is a continuous distribution, which doesn't provide probabilities for specific points.

Given that Ray E B bisects ∠CEA, which statements must be true? Select three options. m∠CEA = 90° m∠CEF = m∠CEA + m∠BEF m∠CEB =
tester [8842]

Answer:

Attached is the question in consideration.

m\angle CEA =90 \ (deg)

m\angle BEF=135\ (deg)

\angle CEF forms a straight line.

\angle AEF depicts a right triangle.

The options 1,4,5,6 represent the correct answers.

Step-by-step explanation:

⇒ Given that \ ray\ AE  is ⊥FEC it constitutes a right triangle, leading to m\angle CEA =90\ (deg).

⇒ The measure for \angle BEF =135\ (deg) equals \angle BEF =\angle AEB +\angle AEF = (45+90)=135\ (deg) as \angle AEB bisects \angle AEC, implying that \angle AEB is half of \angle AEC, thus  \angle AEB = 45\ (deg).

⇒\angle CEF represents a straight line, as the angle measures across it yield 180\ (deg).

⇒ The angle measure for \angle AEF = 90\ (deg) is derived from the linear pair concept.

Since \angle CEA + \angle AEF = 180\ (deg), inserting the values of  m\angle CEA =90\ (deg) leads to \angle AEF = 90\ (deg).

The other two options are incorrect as:

  • m\angle CEF=m\angle CEA + m\angle BEF = (90+135)=225

       it surpasses 180\ (deg) while \angle CEF is a               

      straight line.

  • Also, m\angle CEB=2(m\angle CEA) is inaccurate.

     As \angle CEA = 90\ (deg) and \angle CEB=45\ (deg)

Thus, we have a total 4 valid answers.

The confirmed options are 1,4,5,6.

A silent auction was held for a quilt donated for charity. Fifteen bids that were drawn randomly are listed here. What percentil
Leona [9271]

The provided values are

$85 $240 $120 $60 $315 $190 $145 $105 $285 $260 $95 $215 $235 $175 $155

To start, we will arrange these in ascending order

resulting in

$60 $85 $95  $105  $120  $145 $155 $175 $190 $215 $235 $240 $260 $285 $315

The total count is 15

the position of 105 is 4

Now, we can calculate the percentile

=\frac{4}{15} *100

Thus, the percentile for the bid of $105 is 26.667%...........Response

Iy = 5   Uy = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Ix = 0   Ux = \sqrt{y-9z^2}

Iz = 0   Uz = \frac{\sqrt{y} }{3}

Iy = 5   Uy = 10

El área de una propiedad en metros cuadrados, mide 704/5. Se construye una casa que ocupa 5/6 del área total. La mitad del área
tester [8842]

Answer:

The remaining area available for construction is \frac{704}{60}\ m^{2}

Step-by-step analysis:

The inquiry in English reads

The total area of a property, measured in square meters, amounts to 704/5. A house is constructed occupying 5/6 of this area. Half of the leftover space is utilized for a terrace; thus, how much area remains for additional construction?

We know that

The total area is represented by the fraction 6/6

A house accounts for 5/6 of the entire area

Thus, the remaining area is (6/6)-(5/6)=1/6 of the overall area

If half of this leftover area is designated for a terrace

then

the terrace occupies (1/6)/2=1/12 of the total area

consequently,

The area remaining for construction is 1/12 of the total area

therefore

(\frac{1}{12})\frac{704}{5} =\frac{704}{60}\ m^{2}
