In Galton’s height data, the least-squares line for predicting forearm length (y) from height (x) is y = −0.2967 + 0.2738x.

1 answer:

4 0

Using the line of best fit, it is found that the prediction of the forearm length of a man whose height is of 72 in is of 19.417 in.

<h3>What does the line of best fit state?</h3>

It states that the predicted forearm length of a person of height x is given by:

y = -0.2967 + 0.2738x.

In this problem, the height is of x = 72 in, hence:

y = -0.2967 + 0.2738(72) = 19.417 in.

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

$p_1 -p_2 = 0.097-0.052 = 0.045$

So then the difference between the two proportions is 0.045 and if we convert this into % we got

$0.045*100= 4.5%$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can define the following notation:

$p_1$ represent the unemployment rate for high school graduates with no college degree

$p_2$ represent the unemployment rate for college graduates with a bachelor's degree

And for this case we need to find the difference in proportions of those unemployed between these two groups, we want to find:

$p_1 -p_2$

From the info given we have $p_1 = \frac{9.7}{100}=0.097$

$p_2 = \frac{5.2}{100}=0.052$

And the difference:

$p_1 -p_2 = 0.097-0.052 = 0.045$

So then the difference between the two proportions is 0.045 and if we convert this into % we got

$0.045*100= 4.5%$

What are the solutions to the quadratic equation -2x^2 + 6x + 3 = 0?

mario62 [17]

For this, we will be using the quadratic formula, which is $x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ , with a=x^2 coefficient, b=x coefficient, and c = constant. Our equation will look like this: $x=\frac{-6+/-\sqrt{6^2-4*(-2)*3}}{2*(-2)}$

Firstly, solve the multiplications and the exponents: $x=\frac{-6+/-\sqrt{36+24}}{-4}$

Next, do the addition: $x=\frac{-6+/-\sqrt{60}}{-4}$

Next, your equation will be split into two: $x=\frac{-6+\sqrt{60}}{-4},\frac{-6-\sqrt{60}}{-4}$ . Solve them separately, and your answer will be $x=-0.436,3.436$

I think I'm struggling to find the inverse for this one:

USPshnik [31]

Recall that the derivative of a constant is 0.

$\bf y=x^2-4x+4\implies y=(x-2)^2\implies \stackrel{inverse}{x=(y-2)^2}
\\\\\\
\sqrt{x}=y-2\implies \sqrt{x}+2=y\implies x^{\frac{1}{2}}+2=y
\\\\\\
\cfrac{1}{2}x^{-\frac{1}{2}}+0=\cfrac{dy}{dx}\implies \cfrac{1}{2}x^{-\frac{1}{2}}=\cfrac{dy}{dx}$
