(0.2)x = 2.

Taking log on both sides

log (0.2)x = log 2.

x log (0.2) = 0.3010, [since log 2 = 0.3010].

x log (2/10) = 0.3010.

x [log 2 - log 10] = 0.3010.

x [log 2 - 1] = 0.3010,[since log 10=1].

x[-0.699] = 0.3010.

x= 0.3010/-0.699.

x= = -0.4306….

x= = -0.4.

x = -0.4306

x= -0.4 (nearest tenth)

Statistics Question. Use the Desmos graphing calculator to find the least-squares regression line for the dataset in the table:

Soloha48 [4]

Given:

The table of values.

To find:

The least-squares regression line for the data set in the table by using the desmos graphing calculator.

Solution:

The general form of least-squares regression line is:

$\hat{y}=mx+b$ ...(i)

Where, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

By using the desmos graphing calculator, we get

$m\approx 2.55,b\approx -6.435$

Substitute these values in (i).

$\hat{y}=(2.55)x+(-6.435)$

$\hat{y}=2.55x-6.435$

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Find three consecutive numbers whose sum is 84

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

27 28 29

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first be n , and if they are consecutive then the next two numbers are n+1 and n+2.

n+(n+1)+(n+2)=84.

3n+3=84.

⇒3n=81.

⇒n=27.

Hence numbers are n,n+1,n+2→27,28 and 29
