In an area of the Midwest, records were kept on the relationship between the rainfall (in inches) and the yield of wheat (bushel

s per acre). Which is the best predicted value for y given x = 7.1? Assume that the variables x and y have a significant correlation.
Rainfall (in inches)(x): 10.5,8.8,13.4,12.5,18.8,10.3,7.0,15.6,16.0

Yield (bushels per acre) (y): 50.5,46.2,58.8,59.0,82.4,49.2,31.9,76.0,78.8

A. 35.4, B. 35.2, C. 35.7, D. 35.9

Answer:

Option A is correct.

y = 35.4 bushels per acre when rainfall = 7.1 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

An image of the steps to obtain the equation that relates x to y is attached to this answer.

n = number of variables = 9

μₓ = mean of variable x (rainfall in inches)

μᵧ = mean of variable y (yield in bushels per acre)

σₓ = standard deviation of variable x (rainfall in inches)

σᵧ = standard deviation of variable y (yield in bushels per acre)

y = 4.379x + 4.268

when x = 7.1

y = 4.379(7.1) + 4.268 = 35.3589 = 35.4 bushels per acre.

Question 45 A length of pipe that weighs 45 pounds is cut into two pieces. One of the pieces is 3 feet long and weighs 18 pounds
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer: 4.5 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Weight of original pipe =45 pounds

Weight of first piece = 18 pounds

Then, Weight of  other piece = 45- 18 =  27 pounds

Length of first piece = 3 feet

Let x be the length of other piece.

As length is directly proportional to weight.

Then, \dfrac{x}{27}=\dfrac{3}{18}

\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{x}{27}=\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{1}{6}\times27 =4.5

Hence, the he length of the other piece = 4.5 pounds.

Answer: <u>Last option</u>

Z_ {13} = 0.5,\ Z_ {17} = 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The z-scores give us information about how many standard deviations from the mean the data are. This difference can be negative, if the data are n deviations to the left of the mean, or it can be positive if the data are n deviations to the right of the mean.

To calculate the Z scores, we calculate the difference between the value of the data and the mean and then divide this difference by the standard deviation.

so  

Z = \frac{x- \mu}{\sigma}.

Where x is the value of the data, μ is the mean and σ is the standard deviation

In this case :

μ = 12 $/h

\sigma = 2 $/h

We need to calculate the Z-scores for x = 17 and x = 13

Then for x = 17:

Z_{17} = \frac{17-12}{2}.

Z_{17} = 2.5

Then for x = 13:

Z_{13} = \frac{13-12}{2}.

Z_{13} = 0.5

Therefore the answer is:

Z_ {13} = 0.5,\ Z_ {17} = 2.5

we are asking everyone to focus on reducing their average transaction time by 10%. the average transaction time for this locatio
Anettt [7]

Answer:

We have to get the average transaction time down to 371 seconds or 6 minutes 11 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average transaction time for this location is 6 minutes and 52 seconds.

1\text{ minute}=60\text{ seconds}

6\text{ minute}=6\times 60\text{ seconds}

6\text{ minute}=360\text{ seconds}

The average transaction time for this location is

360+52=412\text{ seconds}

The average transaction time is reduced by 10%.

412-\frac{10}{100}\times 412=412-41.2=370.8\approx 371\text{ seconds}

The average transaction time of this location reduced to 371 seconds.

\frac{371}{60}=\frac{360+11}{60} =6+\frac{11}{60}

The average transaction time of this location reduced to 6 minutes 11 seconds.

Error = 1/2(Maximum range - Minimum range) = 1/2(3.2-1.1) = % = 0.0105

If p is the point estimator;

Then,
Minimum range = p - Error
Maximum range = p + Error

Solving one of the two expressions,
0.011 = p - 0.0105 => p = 0.011+0.0105 = 0.0215 = 2.15%
