The student's question provides a scenario where a tutor named Svetlana earns money from tutoring sessions with a pricing model that can be represented as a linear equation. The main concepts involved are creating linear equations from financial information and understanding the relationship between independent and dependent variables.
The question relates to forming linear equations based on given financial information from individual tutoring sessions. The information provided gives us a scenario where Svetlana, a tutor, has a pricing model for her tutoring sessions. The linear equation that represents the total amount she earns per session is given by y = 25 + 15x, where x is the independent variable, representing the number of hours she tutors, and y is the dependent variable, representing the amount she earns in dollars.
For a tutoring school requiring a one-time enrollment of $500 and $3,000 per year, the equation would be similar in structure, except the coefficients would reflect the cost structure of this particular school. If we translate this into an equation, we could have something like y = 500 + 3000x, where x could represent the number of years.
When discussing probabilities, such as the chance of a student passing a true-false quiz by guessing, we can calculate the probability using combinatorics or Binomial probability formulas if certain assumptions, such as independent events, are met.
