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

See attachment for the scatter plot

Jim sells hot dogs for $2.95 each and steak sandwiches for $9.95 each out of his food cart. During a busy outdoor festival, he s
Afina-wow [57]

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 985

2.95x + 9.95y = 7343.75

-2.95x - 2.95y = -2905.75

7y = 4438

y= 634 steak sandwiches

x + 634 = 985

x = 351 hot dogs

The diagram shows the net of a juice box. The box is a rectangular prism.
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

269.6 square centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The correct question is</em></u>

The diagram shows the net of a juice box. the box is a rectangular prism. what is the surface area of the juice box? 6.4 cm 4 cm 10.5 cm

we know that

The surface area of a rectangular prism is equal to

SA=2B+PH

where

B is the area of the base

P is the perimeter of the base

H is the height of the prism

we have

L=6.4\ cm\\W=4\ cm\\H=10.5\ cm

<em>Find the area of the base B</em>

B=LW

substitute the given values

B=(6.4)(4)=25.6\ cm^2

<em>Find the perimeter of the base P</em>

P=2(L+W)

substitute the given values

P=2(6.4+4)=20.8\ cm

<em>Find the surface area</em>

SA=2B+PH

substitute  

SA=2(25.6)+(20.8)10.5=269.6\ cm^2

A friend has a 83% average before the final exam for a course. That score includes everything but the final, which counts for 25
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

\mathrm{Best\:course\:grade\:possible:\:}87.25\%,\\\mathrm{Minimum\:score\:on\:final\:to\:earn\:at\:least\:a\:75\%\:for\:the\:course:\:}51\%

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the maximum score for the final is 100\%, we can multiply each score by its respective course weight and add them together to give a final score. If your friend did receive this maximum score of 100\%, their overall grade for the course would be:

83(1-0.25)+100(0.25)=\fbox{$87.25\%$}.

To find the minimum score they need to earn a 75% for the course, we set up the following equation:

83(1-0.25)+x(0.25)=75, where x is the minimum score she needs.

Solving, we get:

62.25+x(0.25)=75,\\x(0.25)=12.75,\\x=\fbox{$51\%$}.
