The equation푦=19.42+125.4푥estimates the total number of textmessages sent monthly by an average adult over the age of 60 since 2014, where 푥represents the number of years since 2014, and 푦represents the total number oftexts. Which of the following best describes the meaning of the number 125.4 in the equation?

the answer   is 200

step-by-step explanation:

this is a problem about poisson probabilities.   i don't know if you've

already studied poisson distributions, or if you have a place to look

to read more about the subject.  

here's how you can see a poisson distribution coming.   when there are

a lot of events that may happen at any time (or any place), and when

you're counting how many of them happen at a particular time (or a

particular place), and each event is independent of the others, then

the result is a poisson distribution.   this is roughly true for the

chocolate chips; one chip being in a cookie has only a small effect on

the probability that another chip will be in the cookie.

once you know you have a poisson distribution, you know a lot.   there

is only one parameter to a poisson distribution, so if you know the

mean, you know everything.   the form of the distribution is

  probability of n chips = {[e^(-x)]*(x^n)} / (n! )

a = 11 : 4

b = 38

c = 1 for every 6

y=mx+

yes the total will be same because in both of them the expression.is rearranged but their sign remains the same hence it hss just been shuffled
