Triangles are similar

x/5=12/13
13x=60

x=60/13
x=4.615
x=4.62

Option E

Answer:

Both of the triangles are similar but they look like they have been rotated a bit. Sides x is similar to 12 and side 5 (the hypotenuse) is similar to 13. Therefore we can just set up an equation and cross-multiply.

$\frac{x}{5} = \frac{12}{13}$

$(x * 13) = (5 * 12)$

$13x = 60$

Divide 12 from both sides

$13x/13 = 60/13$

$x=4.615$

Best option would be Option E, 4.62

Find the least squares regression equation using the school year (in number of years after 2000) for the input variable and the

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer-

The least squares regression equation using the school year (in number of years after 2000) for the input variable and the average cost (in thousands of dollars) for the output variable is "y=0.937x+12.765" .

Solution-

The independent variable / input variable= x = Number of years after 2000 ( = year-2000)

The dependent variable / output variable = y = Average cost in thousands of dollars

(The table has been attached herewith.)

To find the regression equation for a group of (x,y) points,

We have to calculate the slope and y-intercept, then we can put those values in the equation y = mx + c ( Slope - Intercept formula)

We know that,

$Slope=m=\frac{N\sum xy -\sum x\sum y}{N\sum x^{2}- (\sum x)^{2}}$
