Answer:

The linear model is not appropriate.

Step-by-step explanation:

In regression, the difference amid the observed-value of the dependent-variable (y) and the predicted-value (\hat y) is known as the residual (e).

e=y-\hat y

A residual plot is a graphical representation of the residuals on the y-axis and the independent variable on the x-axis. If the data-points on the residual plot are randomly spread around the x-axis, a linear regression model is appropriate for the data. And if the residual plots shows a non-random or a U or inverted U pattern, a nonlinear model is more appropriate for the data.

The residual provided shown an inverted U pattern. That is the points are not scattered around he graph.

Thus, the linear model is not appropriate.

The value in dollars,v(x),of a certain truck after x years is represented by the equation v(x)=32,500(0.92)^x.To the nearest dol
Vika [28.1K]

Answer: $2193

Step-by-step explanation:

v(x) = 32,500(.92)^{x}

Plug two and three in for x

v(2) = 32,500(.92)^{2}

v(2) = 32,500(.8464)

v(2) = 27,500

v(3) = 32,500(.92)^{3}

v(3) = 32,500(.778688)

v(3) = 25,307.36

Subtract v(3) from v(2)

27,500 - 25,307.36 = 2192.64

Round to the nearest dollar to get $2193

Which two statements describe domestic stocks? They are directly affected by exchange rate fluctuations. They are always traded
kondaur [170]

Answer:

They are based in the investor’s country of residence

They are always traded in local currency.

Step-by-step explanation:

Stocks, in general, indicate ownership shares of a company and domestic stocks as the name suggests are stocks that are based in the investor's home country.

These domestic stocks are almost always traded in local currency and they are a great help to local investors because it eliminates the currency risk because of exchange rates which can change at any time.

Avon Edwards worked 45.5 hours at $5 per hour. He made $100 in tips but no bonuses. Anything over 40 hours is paid time-and-a-ha
posledela

Answer:

1. D

2. B


Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Question 1:</u>

We can get Avon's earnings using the equation  W=HR+1.5VR+B+T

Where W is his earnings

HR is the regular hours (40 hours in this case)

V is overtime hours (hours over 40, 45.5 - 40 = 5.5 hours)

B is bonus (no bonus)

T is tips ( $100 tips, given)

and R is the rate (which is $5 per hour)


<em>Substituting the given info into the equation, we get:</em>

<em>W=HR+1.5VR+B+T\\W=(40)(5)+1.5(5.5)(5)+0+100\\W=341.25</em>


<em>So avon's earnings are $341.25</em>

<em>Answer choice D is right.</em>


<u>Question 2:</u>

The other employee needs to work x hours @ $15 per hour to equate or surpass $428. So we can set up the equation shown below and solve for x:

(15)(x)=428\\x=\frac{428}{15}\\x=28.53

Rounded to 1 decimal place, this is about 28.5 hours

Answer choice B is right.
