Answer:

300 tarts

Step-by-step explanation:

we must solve this equation by going backwards

3/4 of something (as 1/4 was given away) is 150

150 / 3/4 is what you must do

or

150 * 4/3

that is

200

3/5 was sold so 2/5 was left

2/5 of something is 200

200 / 2/5

200 * 5/2

that is

500

3/5 of that was sold

so

500 * 3/5 is 300

300 tarts were sold

lions [1.4K]

The line of best fit is a straight line that can be used to predict the

average daily attendance for a given admission cost.

Correct responses:

The equation of best fit is; $\underline{ \hat Y = 1,042 - 4.9 \cdot X_i}$

The correlation coefficient is; r ≈<u> -0.969</u>

<h3>Methods by which the line of best fit is found</h3>

The given data is presented in the following tabular format;

$\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}Cost, (dollars), x&20&21&22&24&25&27&28&30\\Daily attendance, y&940&935&940&925&920&905&910&890\end{array}\right]$

The equation of the line of best fit is given by the regression line

equation as follows;

$\hat Y = \mathbf{b_0 + b_1 \cdot X_i}$

Where;

$\hat Y$ = Predicted value of the<em> i</em>th observation

b₀ = Estimated regression equation intercept

b₁ = The estimate of the slope regression equation

$X_i$ = The <em>i</em>th observed value

$b_1 = \mathbf{\dfrac{\sum (X - \overline X) \cdot (Y - \overline Y) }{\sum \left(X - \overline X \right)^2}}$

$\overline X$ = 24.625

$\overline Y$ = 960.625

$\mathbf{\sum(X - \overline X) \cdot (Y - \overline Y)} = -433.125$

$\mathbf{\sum(X - \overline X)^2} = 87.875$

Therefore;

$b_1 = \mathbf{\dfrac{-433.125}{87.875}} \approx -4.9289$

Therefore;

The slope given to the nearest tenth is b₁ ≈ -4.9

$b_0 = \mathbf{\dfrac{\left(\sum Y \right) \cdot \left(\sum X^2 \right) - \left(\sum X \right) \cdot \left(\sum X \cdot Y\right)} {n \cdot \left(\sum X^2\right) - \left(\sum X \right)^2}}$

By using MS Excel, we have;

n = 8

∑X = 197

∑Y = 7365

∑X² = 4939

∑Y² = 6782675

∑X·Y = 180930

(∑X)² = 38809

Therefore;

$b_0 = \dfrac{7365 \times 4939-197 \times 180930}{8 \times 4939 - 38809} \approx \mathbf{1041.9986}$

The y-intercept given to the nearest tenth is b₀ ≈ 1,042

The equation of the line of best fit is therefore;

$\underline{\hat Y = 1042 - 4.9 \cdot X_i}$

The correlation coefficient is given by the formula;

$\displaystyle r = \mathbf{\dfrac{\sum \left(X_i - \overline X) \cdot \left(Y - \overline Y \right)}{ \sqrt{\sum \left(X_i - \overline X \right)^2 \cdot \sum \left(Y_i - \overline Y \right)^2} }}$

Where;

$\sqrt{\sum \left(X - \overline X \right)^2 \times \sum \left(Y - \overline Y \right)^2} = \mathbf{446.8121}$

$\sum \left(X_i - \overline X \right) \times \left(Y - \overline Y\right) = \mathbf{-433.125}$

Which gives;

$r = \dfrac{-433.125}{446.8121} \approx \mathbf{-0.969367213}$

The correlation coefficient given to the nearest thousandth is therefore;

<u>Correlation coefficient, r ≈ -0.969</u>

Answer:

$y = 1x - 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to solve for the x intercept on the equation

$2x-5y=8\\2x-5(0)=8\\2x=8\\x=4\\(4,0)$

That is the x intercept for that equation.

Then solve for the y intercept on the equation

$4x-3y=12\\4(0)-3y=12\\-3y=12\\y=-4\\(0,-4)$

That is the x intercept for that equation.

Use that to find slope for point slope form

$\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-_{1}} \\\\\frac{-4-0}{0-4} \\\\\frac{-4}{-4} \\\\1$

1 is the slope

and slope makes B the y intercept so the equation is

$y = 1x - 4$
