A random sample of 65 high school seniors was selected from all high school seniors at a certain high school. The following scat

terplot shows the height, in centimeters (cm), and the foot length, in cm, for each high school senior from the sample. The least-squares regression line is shown. The computer output from the least-squares regression analysis is also shown.
(a) Calculate and interpret the residual for the high school senior with a foot length of 20cm and a height of 160cm .

3 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The line of best fit is y = 2.599x + 105.08. At x = 20, the estimated height is y = 157.06. The actual height is 160 cm, so the residual is:

160 cm − 157.06 cm = 2.94 cm

Nancy has to find the reflection of a point across both the x- and the y-axes. Using what you've learned so far about reflection

kifflom [539]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

All she needs to know is that a reflection across the x-axis is when the x coordinate stays the same and the y-coordinates change.

Hope this helped.

In 2012, Gallup asked participants if they had exercised more than 30 minutes a day for three days out of the week. Suppose that

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

There is 95% confidence that the population proportion of people from Vermont who exercised for at least 30 minutes a day 3 days a week is between 55.9% and 74.7%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to answer the population proportion for Vermont.

We can only do it by a confidence interval, as we only have information from a sample.

This sample, of size n=100, has a proportion p=0.653.

The degrees of freedom are:

$df=n-1=100-1=99$

We will calculate a 95% confidence interval, which for df=99 has a critical value of t of t=1.984.

The margin of error can be calculated as:

$E=t*\sigma_p=t\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=1.984\sqrt{\dfrac{0.653*0.347}{100}}\\\\\\E=1.984*\sqrt{0.00226}=1.984*0.0476=0.094$

Then, the upper and lower bounds of the confidence interval are:

$LL=p-E=0.653-0.094=0.559\\\\UL=p+E=0.653+0.094=0.747$

Then, we can say that there is 95% confidence that the population proportion of people from Vermont who exercised for at least 30 minutes a day 3 days a week is between 55.9% and 74.7%.

The energy expended by a bird per day, E, depends on the time spent foraging for food per day, F hours. Foraging for a shorter t

Veronika [31]

Answer:

Therefore F=2.387 hours gives a minimum value of energy expenditure E.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The energy expended by a bird per day

$E=0.25 F+\frac{1.7}{F^2}$

Differentiating with respect to F

$E'=0.25 -\frac{3.4}{F^3}$

Again differentiating with respect to F

$E''=\frac{10.2}{F^4}$

Now set E'=0

$0.25 -\frac{3.4}{F^3}=0$

$\Rightarrow \frac{3.4}{F^3}=0.25$

$\Rightarrow F^3=\frac{3.4}{0.25}$

$\Rightarrow F=2.387$

Now $E''|_{F=2.387}=\frac{10.2}{2.387^4}>0$

Since, E''>0 at F=2.387, So at F=2.387 , E has minimum value.

Therefore F=2.387 hours that minimizes energy expenditure.

which of the following is equivalent to 3 sqrt 32x^3y^6 / 3 sqrt 2x^9y^2 where x is greater than or equal to 0 and y is greater

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

$\frac{\sqrt[3]{16y^4}}{x^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The options are missing; However, I'll simplify the given expression.

Given

$\frac{\sqrt[3]{32x^3y^6}}{\sqrt[3]{2x^9y^2} }$

Required

Write Equivalent Expression

To solve this expression, we'll make use of laws of indices throughout.

From laws of indices $\sqrt[n]{a} = a^{\frac{1}{n}}$

So,

$\frac{\sqrt[3]{32x^3y^6}}{\sqrt[3]{2x^9y^2} }$ gives

$\frac{(32x^3y^6)^{\frac{1}{3}}}{(2x^9y^2)^\frac{1}{3}}$

Also from laws of indices

$(ab)^n = a^nb^n$

So, the above expression can be further simplified to

$\frac{(32^\frac{1}{3}x^{3*\frac{1}{3}}y^{6*\frac{1}{3}})}{(2^\frac{1}{3}x^{9*\frac{1}{3}}y^{2*\frac{1}{3}})}$

Multiply the exponents gives

$\frac{(32^\frac{1}{3}x*y^{2})}{(2^\frac{1}{3}x^{3}*y^{\frac{2}{3}})}$

Substitute $2^5$ for 32

$\frac{(2^{5*\frac{1}{3}}x*y^{2})}{(2^\frac{1}{3}x^{3}*y^{\frac{2}{3}})}$

$\frac{(2^{\frac{5}{3}}x*y^{2})}{(2^\frac{1}{3}x^{3}*y^{\frac{2}{3}})}$

From laws of indices

$\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}$

This law can be applied to the expression above;

$\frac{(2^{\frac{5}{3}}x*y^{2})}{(2^\frac{1}{3}x^{3}*y^{\frac{2}{3}})}$ becomes

$2^{\frac{5}{3}-\frac{1}{3}}x^{1-3}*y^{2-\frac{2}{3}}$

Solve exponents

$2^{\frac{5-1}{3}}*x^{-2}*y^{\frac{6-2}{3}}$

$2^{\frac{4}{3}}*x^{-2}*y^{\frac{4}{3}}$

From laws of indices,

$a^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n}$ ; So,

$2^{\frac{4}{3}}*x^{-2}*y^{\frac{4}{3}}$ gives

$\frac{2^{\frac{4}{3}}*y^{\frac{4}{3}}}{x^2}$

The expression at the numerator can be combined to give

$\frac{(2y)^{\frac{4}{3}}}{x^2}$

Lastly, From laws of indices,

$a^{\frac{m}{n} = \sqrt[n]{a^m}$ ; So,

$\frac{(2y)^{\frac{4}{3}}}{x^2}$ becomes

$\frac{\sqrt[3]{(2y)}^{4}}{x^2}$

$\frac{\sqrt[3]{16y^4}}{x^2}$

Hence,

$\frac{\sqrt[3]{32x^3y^6}}{\sqrt[3]{2x^9y^2} }$ is equivalent to $\frac{\sqrt[3]{16y^4}}{x^2}$
