Let’s work with some actual data this time. Go online to research and find a set of real-world data in two variables. The data c

an be in tabular form or in a scatter plot. Choose data that has a reasonable number of data points so you’re able to uncover trends. For the purposes of this activity, the data must not show a linear association. Describe the data you’ve identified in a sentence or two, and include a link to the data. then create a scatter plot of your data.
Identify the function from part B that best fits the scatter plot of your real-world data. why did you choose the function that you did in part c? explain your answer.

The quadratic regression equation that best fits the data set is y = 32.86x² - 379.14x + 1369.14

<h3>The data points </h3>

The following table of values represents the data points that would be used to solve this question:

x 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

y 470 416 403 226 314 338 693

Where:

x represents years since 2000
y represents the annual revenue of a manufacturing company in thousand dollars

<h3>The function of the dataset</h3>

The table of values illustrates a quadratic function.

The function would be calculated using a graphing calculator

From the graphing calculator, we have:

a = 32.86; b = -379.14 and c = 1369.14

A quadratic regression equation is represented as:

y = ax² + bx + c

So, we have:

y = 32.86x² - 379.14x + 1369.14

Hence, the quadratic regression equation that best fits the data set is y = 32.86x² - 379.14x + 1369.14

<h3>Why the function type was chosen?</h3>

From the table of values in (a), we can see that as x increases; the value of y decreases and then increases after it reaches a minimum.

This illustrates the behavior of a quadratic regression function

The difference of two numbers is 0.77. If the larger number is increased 5 times, then the difference becomes 77. Find the numbe

Lelu [443]

Let the two numbers are x and y

Let larger number = x

and smaller number = y

it means

x-y = 0.77

Now it says larger number is increased 5 times

So it now becomes 5x

So second equation becomes

5x -y =77

Now we have to solve these two equations

x-y = 0.77 and 5x-y = 77

multiply first equation by -1 and then add both equations

-x+y = -0.77

Now on adding we get

-x+5x +y -y = 77-0.77

4x = 76.23

Divide both sides by 4

x=19.0575

We get the larger number , now subtract 0.77 from this , we will get the smaller number

y=19.0575-0.77=18.2875

y=18.2875

Hence the larger number = 19.0575

Smaller number = 18.2875

A recent taste test showed that 85% of people liked a new chicken sandwich recently added to a restaurant’s menu. The restaurant

Vesna [10]

Answer:

a) The margin of error = 0.11

b) The interval estimate = (0.74, 0.96)

c) Not valid because 68% = 0.68 is less than the values in the interval estimate

Step-by-step explanation:

The statistical data from the population and the simulation are;

The percentage of the people that liked the new chicken sandwich = 85% = The population proportion

The percentage the restaurant manager claims liked the new sandwich = 68%

The number of trials of the simulation = 100 trials

The sample size of each trial = 30

The point estimate of each trial = 0.85

The minimum sample proportion = 0.66

The maximum sample proportion = 0.88

a) The confidence interval = (0.66, 0.88)

By the half the range method, the margin of error is given by half the width of the confidence interval

∴ The margin of error, MOE = (0.88 - 0.66)/2 = 0.11

b) The interval estimate are the expected range of numbers for a parameters

The interval estimate = The point estimate ± MOE

∴ The interval estimate = 0.85 ± 0.11 = (0.74, 0.96)

Given that the manager's claim of 68% is not within the interval estimate, the manager's claim is not valid based on the expected values for the people that liked the new sandwich found with the point estimate and the margin of error

PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paraphin [41]

the overhead, fixed costs, is $1000.

the variable cost is $200, so if she sells "x" tiles, then her costs is 200*x or 200x.

total costs then will just be C(x) = 200x + 1000.

namely both costs added together.

Revenue is just how much it's been taken in from the sales, since each tile is selling for $240, then the revenue is simply 240*x or just R(x) = 240x.

break even point is when those two guys equal each other

$\bf \stackrel{R(x)}{240x}=\stackrel{C(x)}{200x+1000}\implies 40x=1000\implies x=\cfrac{1000}{40}\implies x=25$

what if the cost for each tile were $220, 20 bucks more?

$\bf \stackrel{R(x)}{240x}=\stackrel{C(x)}{220x+1000}\implies 20x=1000\implies x=\cfrac{1000}{20}\implies x=50$

well, if the cost for each tile is $200, her break-even point is at 25 units, namely once she has sold 25 tiles, she's has lost nothing, has won nothing either, but hasn't lost anything.

if the cost is however $220 instead, her break-even point comes much later, at 50 units, so she'll have to sell more tiles in order to not have any losses, so she's worse off if the cost is more or course.

three sister are getting new outfits. shirts cost 11 each,skirts coat 25 each and shows cost 44 a pair what is the total coast o

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

240.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the correct question: Three sister are getting new outfits. shirts cost 11 each,skirts coat 25 each and shoes cost 44 a pair. what is the total cost of the new outfits for all of the sisters?

Given: Cost of each shirt is 11

Cost of each skirts coat is 25

Cost of each pair of shoes cost is 44.

Now, finding total cost of shirt, skirt coat and shoes as cost of one new outfit.

= $11+25+44 = 80$

∴ Total cost of one new outfit is 80.

Next, finding cost of new outfit for all, three sisters.

Cost of new outfit for three sister = $\textrm { cost of one outfit}\times \textrm{ number of sisters}$

∴ Cost of new outfit for three sister = $80\times 3= 240$

240 is the total cost of new outfit for all the sisters.
