4 consecutive days means everyday except friday, or everyday except monday.
this would be 2(0.3x0.3x0.3x0.3x0.7)

(i) Find the gradient of the straight line passing through the points: (0,3) and (9,21). (ii) Write down the equation of the line in form y = mx + c

(i) To find the gradient of a straight light, we take any two (different) points on the straight line and compute the change in Y divided by the change in X. So here this is; (21-3)/(9-0) = 18/9 = 2. So t...
