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!

Amar cycles at a speed of 18km/h.
damaskus [11]

Answer:

<em>The distance between the two villages is 16.5 Km</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Constant Speed Motion</u>

It's a type of motion in which the distance of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

If v is the constant speed, the object travels a distance x in a time t, given by the equation:

x=vt

Amar cycles at v=18 Km/h for t=55 minutes. We need to calculate the distance traveled between the two villages.

Since the speed and the time are given in different units, we convert the time to hours, recalling that 1 hour=60 minute.

t=55 min = 55/60 hours

For the sake of precision, we won't operate the division so far. Compute the distance:

x=18 *55/60=16.5 Km

The distance between the two villages is 16.5 Km

If the area of a garden is 11 square feet what could be the dimensions of the garden
sergejj [24]
Assuming that the garden is rectangular in shape, the area of a rectangle is given by length x width.

11 is a prime with factors 1 and 11.

Therefore, if the area of a (rectangular) garden is 11 square feet, then the possible dimension of the garden is 1 feet by 11 feet.

Bill and Joe leave their house at the same time heading in opposite directions. If Bill is driving three times faster than Joe a
Arisa [49]

The problem statement gives you the relationship between their speeds, and it gives you information you can use to find their total speed. You solve this by finding the total speed, then the proportion of that belonging to Bill.

The total speed is (120 mi)/(3 h) = 40 mi/h.

The speed ratio is ...

... Bill : Joe = 3 : 1

so the speed ratio Bill : Total is ...

... 3 : (3+1) = 3:4.

Bill's speed is (3/4)×(40 mi/h) = 30 mi/h.
