Answer:
Option a) u is called the "error term". It is the error we make in prediction
Option d) x is called the independent variable because x is independent from y and u.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following information in the question:

where y is the dependent variable, x is the independent variable.
: It is the value of y when x is zero, that is y-intercept.
: It is the coefficient of x in predicting the dependent variable y.
u is the error term.
- An error term represents the margin of error.
- It refers to the sum of the deviations within the regression line, that is the difference between the predicted value and the observed value of y.
Thus, Option A) u is the error term and Option D) x is called the independent variable because x is independent from y and u are the correct answer.
Sorry I don't what the answer would be for A. But B would be (3,13)
Answer:
The three-digit numbers with these properties are 850 or 941.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the hundreds digit, y the tens digit, and z the ones digit. The first condition says that
. The second condition is:
the original number is
while the reversed number is
so

Now we have the system

You can divide by 99 to simplify the second equation.

Note that x, y, z must be digits between 0 and 9 and
. If
, then the second equation forces
, for example z=2 so x-2=8, x=10 which is impossible. If z=0, you get x=8, y=5 and the number is 850. If z=1, you get x=9,y=4 and the number is 941.
