A researcher wants to determine whether the rate of water flow (in liters per second) over an experimental soil bed can be used

to predict the amount of soil washed away (in kilograms). The researcher measures the amount of soil washed away for various flow rates, and from these data calculates the least-squares regression line to be amount of eroded soil = 0.4 + 1.3x (where x is flow rate) The correlation between amount of eroded soil and flow rate would be:

Here we are given the specific equation of:

amount of eroded soil = 0.4 + 1.3 x

where x is the flow rate

 

A linear equation has a general formula in the form of:

y = m x + b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept of the equation

 

If we compare this with our specific equation, we can see that the slope and y intercept are both positive with values:

m = 0.4

b = 1.3

Therefore this only means that as the flow rate increases, the amount of eroded soil also increases.

Hence the correlation must be positive but we cannot solve for the exact value since we need the data for x and y.


Answer: 

positive, but we cannot say what the exact value is

In 2010, a city's population was 1,405,233 and it was decreasing at a rate of 1.1%. At this rate when will the city's population
frez [133]
The equation
                                            P(t) = 1405233 * (1 - 0.011)^(t)
models the population at t years after 2010. Then, when P(t) = 1,200,000, we have
                                 1200000 = 1405233 * (0.989)^t
                                  (0.989)^t = 1200000/1405233
                                                t = log(1200000/1405233)/log(0.989)
                                                t = 14.27 years
This means 14.27 years after 2010. Therefore, the answer to this question is 2024.

Which equation represents a line that passes through (–2, 4) and has a slope of 2/5? y – 4 = 2/5 (x 2) y 4 = 2/5 (x – 2) y 2 = 1
Natali5045456 [20]
Equation of a line is given by y - y1 = m(x - x1); where m is the slope.
y - 4 = 2/5 (x - (-2))
y - 4 = 2/5 (x + 2)

Elan Coil [88]

To Find :

Net worth of Rachel.

Solution :

Net worth is given by the (sum of all the assets she owns) -( total amount of loans she have ).

Net \ Worth=( 195000+160000+2325+9300+1437+1200)-(875+4800)\\\\Net \ Worth=\$\ 363587

Therefore, net worth of Rachel is $ 363587.

Hence, this is the required solution.

A hospital bill is estimated to be $462.00. It ends up actually costing the patient $525.00. What is the percent error in the bi
Mamont248 [21]
In order to find the percent error, we need to first find the difference between what was expected and what is actually costed. We do this by subtracting:

525-462=63

So now we know that the expected amount was off by $63. To find the percent error, we need to take this $63, and divide it by the amount that was estimated. Let's do that now:

\frac{63}{462}=0.1364

However this is in decimal form. We need to multiply by 100 in order to get it in a percent:

0.1364*100=13.64%

Now we know that the percent error of the hospital bill estimate is 13.64%.
