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) = 10x - 30, where x is the
number of doors she knocks on during the week and E(x) is her earnings for
the week in dollars.
Which of the following are reasonable interpretations of the y-intercept of
Jessica's function?
Check all that apply.
A. She can earn $10 per week even if she does not knock on any
doors.
B. She will lose $10 per week if she does not knock on any doors.
C. If she does not knock on any doors at all during the week, she will
lose $30.
D. Her expenses are $30 per week.

The resumâ´es of two male applicants for a college teaching position in chemistry are placed in the same file as the resumâ´es of two female applicants. two positions become available, and the first, at the rank of assistant professor, is filled by selecting one of the four applicants at random. the second position, at the rank of instructor, is then filled by selecting at random one of the remaining three applicants. using the notation m2f1, for example, to denote the simple event that the first position is filled by the second male applicant and the second position is then filled by the first female applicant, (a) list the elements of a sample space s; (b) list the elements of s corresponding to event a that the position of assistant professor is filled by a male applicant; (c) list the elements of s corresponding to event b that exactly one of the two positions is filled by a male applicant; (d) list the elements of s corresponding to event c that neither position is filled by a male applicant; (e) list the elements of s corresponding to the event a â© b; (f) list the elements of s corresponding to the event a âş c; (g) construct a venn diagram to illustrate the intersections and unions of the events a, b, and c.
