Jerry is filling a water tank which initially consists of 75 gallons of water. As the water is being pumped in, the water in the

tank increases by 2.5 gallons every minute. To ensure that the tank does not overflow, he wants to fill the tank with a maximum of 195.5 gallons.
What is the maximum amount of time, in minutes, that Jerry can fill the tank without it overflowing?

Answer:

The maximum amount of time is 48.2 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the equation for a line

y = mx+b

the inital value is 75 gallons   ( that is b)

the slope is 2.5 gallons  (that is m)

We know that we want to fill it to 195.5 gallons ( that would be y)

195.5 = 2.5x +75

We are going to solve for x  (that is the number of minutes)

Subtract 75 from each side

195.5-75 = 2.5x +75-75

120.5 = 2.5x

Divide by 2.5 on each side

120.5/2.5 = 2.5x/2.5

48.2 =x

The maximum amount of time is 48.2 minutes

Answer:

48.2 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

With an increase of 2.5/min,

The volume is:

75 + 2.5t,

Where t is time (in minutes)

To aviod overflow:

75 + 2.5t 《 195.5

2.5t 《 120.5

t 《 48.2

The least-squares regression model y =−3.4+5.2x and correlation coefficient r=−0.66 were calculated for a set of bivariate data
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

r=\frac{n(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2 -(\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2 -(\sum y)^2]}}  

For this case the value of r = -0.66

Now we can calculate the determination coeffcient:

r^2 = (-0.66)^2 = 0.4356

And then we can conclude that 43.56% of the variation in y can be explained by the explanatory variable

And then 100-43.56 = 56.44 % of the variation in y that cannot be explained by the explanatory variable

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we need to calculate the slope with the following formula:

m=\frac{S_{xy}}{S_{xx}}

Where:

S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}

S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}

\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}

\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}

And we can find the intercept using this:

b=\bar y -m \bar x

And the model obtained for this case is:

y = -3.4 +5.2 x

The correlation coefficient is a "statistical measure that calculates the strength of the relationship between the relative movements of two variables". It's denoted by r and its always between -1 and 1.

And in order to calculate the correlation coefficient we can use this formula:  

r=\frac{n(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2 -(\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2 -(\sum y)^2]}}  

For this case the value of r = -0.66

Now we can calculate the determination coeffcient:

r^2 = (-0.66)^2 = 0.4356

And then we can conclude that 43.56% of the variation in y can be explained by the explanatory variable

And then 100-43.56 = 56.44 % of the variation in y that cannot be explained by the explanatory variable

Multiply: 4.56 x 10,000.To multiply, move the decimal point 4 places to the right in the decimal 4.56 true or false​
notka56 [123]
True, because there are 4 zeros and when multiplying zeros you move it to the right.

From $2003$ onward, the number of daily visitors to a website increased by $200\%$ every two years. So, for example, the number
svetlana [45]
When we say an amount increased by some percentage, we usually mean that percentage is added to the original amount. In symbols, if there were V visitors in 2003, then in 2005 there were
  V + 200%×V = 3V
visitors. And in 2007 (after 2 more years), there were
  3(3V) = 9V
visitors. This represents an increase of
(9V -V)/V × 100% = 800%

The number of daily visitors in 2007 was 800% more than in 2003.
