Question

The rate for renting a motor scooter for one day at a beach resort area is $25 plus 30 cents for each mile the scooter is driven. The total cost y in dollars for renting a scooter and driving it x miles is y=0.30x+25 a.Explain whether the relationship between the cost y of renting the scooter for a day and the distance x that the scooter is driven that day is deterministic or contains an element of randomness. b.A person intends to rent a scooter one day for a trip to an attraction 17 miles away. Assuming that the total distance the scooter is driven is 34 miles, predict the cost of the rental.

Explanation / Answer

here above equation is deterministic as there is no scope of randomness or errror in above relationship.

Here indepednent variable is distance which is deterministic, therefore Y is also,

b) predection of cost at x=34 ; total cost y =0.3*34+25 =$35.2
