A researcher is studying the relationship between the number of TVs owned by a family and the size of the family's electric bill. After collecting data, he finds that the relationship is best modeled by the equation B = 2.43T + 95.66, where B is one month's electric bill in dollars and T is the number of TVs owned by the family. Which of these is a good interpretation of the y-intercept of this model?

Step-by-step explanation:

No choice is given but here is the general interpretation.

Y-intercept is where the plot crosses the y-axia at x=0. In this case, x is T which represents number of TVs owned by the family. T=0 meaning there is no TV and B = 96.66 is the one month's electric bill in dollars for all other appliances in the home.

Given function

Now

Compare to slope intercept form y=mx+b

Here y intercept may be the fixed charge .

step-by-step explanation:

85.560%

step-by-step explanation:

conditional probability is defined as:

p(a|b) = p(a∩b) / p(b)

in other words, the probability that a occurs, given that b has occurred = the probability that both a and b occur / the probability that b occurs.

in this example:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = p(turns 64 & turns 44) / p(turns 44).

if someone turns 64, they must have already turned 44, so:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = p(turns 64) / p(turns 44)

on page 42, we see that of the original 100,000, 94944 turn 44, and 81234 turn 64.   therefore:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = 81234 / 94944

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = 0.85560
