For a set of data: x = (0,1,2,3,4,5,6) and y=(36, 28, 25, 24, 23, 21, 19), is it wise to use a linear regression to extrapolate

data for x = 50? Solution: Since the coefficient of determination is 0.8582, the linear model is a reasonably good fit for the data, so extrapolation for any x-value is acceptable. What is wrong with this solution?

Answer:

The problem with this solution is that a regression model is not recommended to extrapolate because we do not know if the linear relation that we calculated for a specific range of x values still holds outside this range.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a linear regression model, with a range of the independent variable "x" that goes from 0 to 6.

The regression model finds a good fit (r=0.8582).

As it has a good fit, it is proposed to use this model to extrapolate and calculate the value of y for x=50.

It is not recommended to extrapolate a regression model unless we are really sure that the model is still valid within the range within we are extrapolating.

This means that if we have no proof that y has a linear relation in a range of x that includes x, the extrapolation has no validity and can lead to serious errors.

A linear regression model is only suitable for interpolation or extrapolating within the range we are sure that the relation between y and x is linear within a certain acceptable error.

H is directly proportional to the square root of p h= 5.4 when p = 1.44 find h when p =2.89
LenKa [72]

Answer:

h=7.65

Step-by-step explanation:

H is directly proportional to the square root of p;

Let k be the constant of proportionality;

Means h=k√p

This means for corresponding points of h and p such that (h1,p1) and (h2,p2) we have;

h1/√p1=h2/√p2

Let h= 5.4 when p = 1.44 and h when p =2.89 be respectively (h1,p1) and (h2,p2)

So that

5.4/√1.44=h/√2.89

5.4/√1.44 ×√2.89 = h

7.65= h

h=7.65

Within the United States, approximately 11.25% of the population is left-handed. Of the males, 12.6% are left-handed, compared t
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

There is a 45.05% probability that the selected person is a right-handed female.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities

A 50% probability that a person is a male

A 50% probability that a person is a female.

A 12.6% probability that a male is left-handed.

A 9.9% probability that a female is left-handed.

If a person is selected at random, to find the probability that the selected person is a right-handed female, one would compute:

50% are female.

9.9% of the females are left-handed, so 100-9.9 = 90.1% of the females are right handed.

So

P = 0.5*0.901 = 0.4505

There is a 45.05% probability that the selected person is a right-handed female.

What is 4log1/2^w(2log1/2^u-3log1/2^v written as a single logarithm?
IrinaK [193]
Given:

4log1/2^w (2log1/2^u-3log1/2^v)

Req'd:

Single logarithm = ?

Sol'n:

First remove the parenthesis,

4 log 1/2 (w) + 2 log 1/2 (u) - 3 log 1/2 (v)

Simplify each term,

Simplify the 4 log 1/2 (w) by moving the constant 4 inside the logarithm;
Simplify the 2 log 1/2 (u) by moving the constant 2 inside the logarithm;
Simplify the -3 log 1/2 (v) by moving the constant -3 inside the logarithm:

 log 1/2 (w^4)  + 2 log 1/2 (u) - 3 log 1/2 (v) 
log 1/2 (w^4) + log 1/2 (u^2) - log 1/2 (v^3)

We have to use the product property of logarithms which is log of b (x) + log of b (y) = log of b (xy):

Thus,

Log of 1/2 (w^4 u^2) - log of 1/2 (v^3) 

then use the quotient property of logarithms which is log of b (x)  - log of b (y) = log of b (x/y)

Therefore, 

log of 1/2 (w^4 u^2 / v^3)

and for the final step and answer, reorder or rearrange w^4 and u^2:

log of 1/2 (u^2 w^4 / v^3)

Which expression can be used to find 17% of 58?
posledela

Answer:

58 times 0.17 which agrees with answer C in the given list of possible answers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that 17% in math terms is 17/100 = 0.17

Now to find the 17% of the number 58, we need to multiply 58 by 17/100, which gives:

58 times 0.17
