Jason places a mirror on the ground 40 feet from the base of a tree. He walks backwards until he can see the top of the tree in

the middle of the mirror. At that point, Jason's eyes are 6 feet above the ground and he is 8 feet from the image in the mirror. What is the height of the tree?

Let
x---------------> <span>the height of the tree

we know that
by using proportion
</span>\frac{40}{8} = \frac{x}{6}  \\  \\ 40*6=8*x \\  \\ x=40*6/8 \\  \\ x=30 feet
<span>
therefore

the answer is
</span><span>the height of the tree is </span>30feet

We have to use a proportion:x is the height of a treex : 40 = 6 : 88 x = 6 * 408 x = 240x = 240 : 8x = 30 ftAnswer:The height of the tree is 30 ft.

A King in ancient times agreed to reward the inventor of chess with one grain of wheat on the first of the 64 squares of a chess
statuscvo [17]
Let's start by visualising this concept.

Number of grains on square:
1   2   4   8   16 ...

We can see that it starts to form a geometric sequence, with the common ratio being 2.

For the first question, we simply want the fifteenth term, so we just use the nth term geometric form:
T_n = ar^{n - 1}
T_{15} = 2^{14} = 16384

Thus, there are 16, 384 grains on the fifteenth square.

The second question begs the same process, only this time, it's a summation. Using our sum to n terms of geometric sequence, we get:
S_n = \frac{a(r^{n} - 1)}{r - 1}
S_{15} = \frac{2^{15} - 1}{2 - 1}
S_{15} = 2^{15} - 1 = 32767

Thus, there are 32, 767 total grains on the first 15 squares, and you should be able to work the rest from here.

11) Which of the following is NOT an assumption of Simple Linear Regression?
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

11) c. the independent variables are not col-linear

12) b. Bar graph

13) a. Units of distance from the mean

14) d. None of the above

15) b. The difference between the predicted Y and observed Y

16) c. There is no spatial auto-correlation

17) a. It has a low Adjusted R²

18) c. A point that can influence the regression in a way that reflects the value of most other points

19) c. Rejecting the Null hypothesis incorrectly

20) c. The variable is not normally distributed

Step-by-step explanation:

11) With simple linear regression there is a col linear relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variables

Therefore, the correct option is c. the independent variables are not col linear

12) The bar graph which is also known as a bar chart, is used for the frequencies of data that are categorized

Therefore, the correct option is b. Bar graph

13) The z-value is a measure of the distance from the mean, therefore, the correct option is a. Units of distance from the mean

14) The higher the R² value the increased correlation between the factors of the dependent variable and the independent variable

Therefore, the correct option is d. None of the above

15) In an OLS residual error = Observed value of Y - Predicted value of Y

Therefore, the best option is b. The difference between the predicted Y and observed Y

16) A Moran's I value of zero indicates perfect randomness or no auto-correlation

The correct option is therefore, c. There is no spatial auto-correlation

17) The adjusted R² value increases when the added variable improves the model to the observation correlation more than would be expected by chance alone, therefore, the correct option is a. It has a low Adjusted R²

18) A leverage point is a point that is far from the other points in the observation, therefore, the correct option is c. A point that can influence the regression in a way that reflects the value of most other points

19) A type 1 error occurs when an accurate (statistically acceptable) null hypothesis is rejected therefore, the correct option is c. Rejecting the Null hypothesis incorrectly

20) The Quantile-Quanttile (QQ) plot is a technique used for checking the commonness of the sources of two sets of data, therefore sources of data that are from the source (hence normally distributed) align with the diagonal lines in a QQ-Plot

The correct option is therefore c. The variable is not normally distributed
