The equation of the regression line has the following shape:

y=mx+b

Where m is calculated through the following equation:

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

And b is calculated through the following equation:

b=\frac{\sum^{}_{}y-m\sum^{}_{}x}{N}

N is the number of samples. 8 for this case.

The values of all the sums present in the above equation are reported in the last row of the table:

\begin{gathered} \sum ^{}_{}x=31 \\ \sum ^{}_{}y=680.1 \\ \sum ^{}_{}xy=3202.71 \\ \sum ^{}_{}x^2=142.52 \\ \sum ^{}_{}y^2=80033.99 \end{gathered}

Now, we can begin calculating m by replacing the values:

\begin{gathered} m=\frac{8\cdot3202.71-31\cdot680.1}{8\cdot142.52-31^2} \\ m=25.333 \end{gathered}

The slope of the equation is m = 25.333.

Now, we can calculate b:

\begin{gathered} b=\frac{680.1-25.333\cdot31}{8} \\ b=-13.153 \end{gathered}

Now that we know the parameters m and b for the linear regression, we can build the equation:

\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ y=25.333x-13.153 \end{gathered}

Where x represents the murders and y the robberies per 100,000 population.

Then, (a): the equation of the regression line is y = 25.333x - 13.153.

To predict the robberies per 100,000 population when x = 4.5 murders, we just need to replace that 4.5 in the equation that we just found:

y=25.333\cdot4.5-13.153=100,85

Finally, (b): according to the linear regression, the number of robberies per 100,000 population when x = 4.5 murders is approximately 100,85.

First you subtract 8 from 26, which is 18. Then you divide 18 by 6, which is 3. x equals 3.

If she goes 75 mph for 2 hours, that's 150 miles altogether. 45 mph for 1 hour is 45 miles, so 150 + 45 is 195 miles.

Which set of three numbers could be the side lengths of a triangle?
Tresset [83]

Answer:

<h2>А. 3, 5, 7</h2><h2 />

Step-by-step explanation:

Because

7 - 3 = 4

7 + 3 = 10

then

7 - 3 < 5 < 7 + 3

the 3 other cases don’t fit with this rule.

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

8/15

Step-by-step explanation:

In a right triangle, where B is an acute angle, the tan B is equal to the measure of the side opposite B divided by the measure of the shorter side at B

tanB = 16/30 = 8/15
