Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

a)

The dependent variable is

Y: length of a dugong

The explanatory variable is

X: age of a dugong

You need to estimate the linear regression of the length of the dugongs as a function of their age.

Using the given data I've estimated the regression using a statistic software:

The regression model is E(Yi)= α + βXi

The estimated model is ^Yi= a + bXi

Where a is the estimate of the intercept and b is the estimate of the slope:

a= 2.02

b= 0.03

And the estimate of the population variance of the error is Se²= 0.03

The estimated regression equation is ^Yi= 2.02 + 0.03Xi

b)

You have to estimate the length of a dugong when its age is 11 years using the model, for this all you have to do is replace X=11 in the regression line and calculate the corresponding ^Y value:

^Yi= 2.02 + 0.03*11= 2.35

The average length of an 11-year-old dugong should be 2.35.

I hope it helps!

93 / 12 = 7.75

so Lester earns $7.75 a hour.

if he earns $62 how many hours did he work.

so 62 = 7.75 (h)

62/ 7.75 = 8

so he worked 8 hours.

The dot plots below show rainfall totals in the Highlands and Lowlands areas of a certain region.
Andre45 [30]

Options:

A. Both the Highlands and the Lowlands data points are evenly distributed around the center.

B. Both the Highlands and the Lowlands data points are clustered toward the left of the plot.

C. The Highlands data points are evenly distributed around the center, while the Lowlands data points are clustered toward the left of the plot.

D. The Highlands data points are clustered toward the left of the plot, while the Lowlands data points are evenly distributed.

Answer:

B. Both the Highlands and the Lowlands data points are clustered toward the left of the plot.

Step-by-step Explanation:

From the dot plots displaying rainfall totals for highland and lowland areas as shown in the diagram attached below, we can clearly observe that most of the dots on the plot tend to be more concentrated towards the left of the plot, compared to the concentration of dots toward the right of the plot.

Invariably, we can infer that data points for lowlands and Highlands are clustered toward the left of the plot.

Therefore, the statement that is true, comparing the shapes of the dot plot is B. "Both the Highlands and the Lowlands data points are clustered toward the left of the plot."

What are the solutions of 8x2 = 6 + 22x? Check all of the boxes that apply.
Sholpan [36]
Transpose all the terms in the left hand side of the equation. The equation then becomes,
                         8x²  - 22x - 6 =0
Divide both sides of the equation by 2,
                        4x² - 11x - 3 = 0 

In this equation, A = 4, B = -11, and C = -3

With the variables identified, the quadratic equation can be used to identify the roots,
                         x = (-B +/- √B² - 4AC) / 2A
The values of x in the equation are,
                        <em> x = 3 and x = -1/4
</em>
<em />Thus, the one of the answer to this item is the third choice, x = 3. <em>

How many marbles, each with a volume of 36 cubic centimeters, are needed to fill in a cylindrical vase with a radius of 6 centim
ANEK [815]
The volume of a cylinder can be found using the formula:

π r² h, 

where r is the radius of the circular base and h is the height of the cylinder.

If we plug in the measurements of the cylinder, we get:

π (6²) (28)

When this is simplified, we get that the volume of the cylinder is:

1008π cubic cm

Thus, if each marble has a volume of 36π cubic cm, then to find how many marbles will fit into the vase we must divide the vases total volume by the volume of each marble.

1008π / 36π = 28

Therefore, the answer is D. 28 marbles
