The team statistician has given James, Marcus, and Tony their odds at hitting a home run in their next baseball game. The probability James hits a homerun is 0.71. The probability Tony hits a homerun is 0.29. The probability Marcus hits a homerun is -0.44. Which of the following must be true and WHY?

A. Marcus will not hit a homerun in the next game. 

B. It is certain (100% likelihood) that either James or Tony will hit a homerun. 

C. The statistician made an error in calculating their probabilities.  

C because probabilities must fall between 0 and 1, and Marcus has a probability of -0.44.

A dairy farm sells gallons of milk in bulk each week. The price p for each gallon is independently generated week to week, and the number of gallons bought is dependent on the price per gallon. The farm models their gallons bought by the equation g=900-50p. Interpret the slope using the terms "gallons of milk" and "price per gallon."


Each time the price per gallon is raised by $1.00, the dairy farm projects it will sell 50 less gallons of milk.
