Answer:

a) May be used to predict a value of y if the corresponding x value is given

Step-by-step explanation:

In regression analysis, the vertical distance from the regression line to the data points can be minimized using the least square regression line.

Given the example of a least square regression equation:

y = ax + b

Where

a = slope

b = Y-intercept

If the value of x is known, the value of y may be predicted.

Option A is correct.

A least squares regression line may be used to predict a value of y if the corresponding x value is given

Stu hiked a trail at an average rate of 3 miles per hour. He ran back on the same trail at an average rate of 5 miles per hour.
fredd [130]
Let d =  the length of the trail, miles

Note that
distance = speed * time
or
time = distance / speed.

The time, t₁, to travel the trail at 3 miles per hour is
t₁ = d/3 hours
The time, t₂, to travel back at 5 miles per hour is
t₂ = d/5 hours

Because the total time is 3 hours, therefore
t₁ + t₂ = 3
d/3 + d/5 = 3
d(1/3 + 1/5) = 3
d(8/15) = 3
Multiply each side by 15.
8d = 3*15 =45
d = 45/8 = 5 5/8 miles or 5.625 miles
Total distance = 2*d = 11.25 miles or 11 1/4 miles.

t₁ = 5.625/3 = 1.875 hours or 1 hour, 52.5 minutes
t₂ = 5.625/5 = 1.125 hours or 1 hour , 7.5 minutes

Answers ;
Time to travel at 3 miles per hour = 1.875 hours (1 hour, 52.5 minutes)
Time to return at 5 miles per hour = 1.125 hours (1 hour, 7.5 minutes)
Total distance traveled = 2*d = 11.25 miles.

The following table shows the number of hours some teachers in two schools expect students to spend on homework each week: Schoo
Lerok [7]

Answer:

For school A: Minimum=6, Q₁=6.5, Median= 14, Q₃=16, Maximum=17, IQR=9.5

For school B: Minimum=5, Q₁=8, Median= 12, Q₃=15.5, Maximum=19, IQR=7.5

No, the box plots are not symmetric.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

The given data sets are

School A : 9,14,15,17,17,7,15,6,6

School B : 12,8,13,11,19,15,16,5,8

Arrange the data in ascending order.

School A : 6,6,7,9,14,15,15,17,17

School B : 5,8,8,11,12,13,15,16,19

Divide each data set in four equal parts.

School A : (6,6),(7,9),14,(15,15),(17,17)

School B : (5,8),(8,11),12,(13,15),(16,19)

For school A:

Minimum=6, Q₁=6.5, Median= 14, Q₃=16, Maximum=17

Interquartile range of the data is

IQR=Q_3-Q_1=16-6.5=9.5

For school B:

Minimum=5, Q₁=8, Median= 12, Q₃=15.5, Maximum=19

Interquartile range of the data is

IQR=Q_3-Q_1=15.5-8=7.5

Part B:

The box plots are not symmetric because the data values are different. Five number summary and IQR of both the data set are different.

Juan put three square tiles with sides 8 centimeters, 10 centimeters, and x centimeters together so that they form a right trian
Elan Coil [88]
Since the area of a square is equal to the square of one of its side's length, then the area should be equivalent to x^{2}.
A = x^{2} ---> equation (1)
By using pythagoras rule which states that the x^{2} = hyp^2 - opposite^2---> equation (2)
where the opposite side's length is 8 and the hypotenuse side's length is 10
by substituting by the values in equation (2) therefore,
x^{2} = 10^{2} - 8^{2} substitute this value in equation (1) then
A = x^{2} = 10^{2} -8^{2}
where A is the area of the square whose side is x

Annie is running a trail that is 4 1/2 miles long. She ran the first 2/3 of the distance. Then the trail became very steep, so s
qwelly [4]

Answer:

Annie walked 1 11/12 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Trail= 4 1/2 miles

Annie ran the first 2/3 miles

Remaining miles= Total miles - Miles covered first

= 4 1/2 - 2/3

= 9/2 - 2/3

= 27-4 / 6

= 23/6 miles

Remaining miles = 23/6 miles

Annie walked for 1/2 of the remaining distance

1/2 of the remaining miles= 1/2 × 23/6

=23 / 12

= 1 11/12

Annie walked 1 11/12 miles
