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.

The equations -6x + 3y = 6 and x² + y = 10 intersect at the
eimsori [14]

The values of the letters in coordinates (a, b) and (c,d) are;

<u><em>a = -4</em></u>

<u><em>b = -6</em></u>

<u><em>c = 2</em></u>

<u><em>d = 6</em></u>

<u><em /></u>

We are given two equations;

-6x + 3y = 6  ---(eq 1)

x² + y = 10 ---(eq 2)

  • We are told that they intersect at coordinates; (a, b) and (c, d).

Let us make y the subject in eq 2 to get;

y = 10 - x²  --(eq 3)

  • Let us put 10 - x² into eq 1 to get;

-6x + 3(10 - x²) = 6

expanding further gives;

-6x + 30 - 3x² = 6

rearranging gives;

3x² + 6x - 24 = 0

Using online quadratic equation <em>solver</em>, we have;

x = -4 and x = 2

Putting x = -4 into eq 3 gives;

y = 10 - (-4)²

y = 10 - 16

y = -6

Putting x = 2 into eq 3 gives;

y = 10 - (2)²

y = 10 - 4

y = 6

  • Thus, the coordinates are; (-4, -6) and (2, 6)

Comparing with (a, b) and (c,d), we have;

a = -4

b = -6

c = 2

d = 6

Victor drives a distance of 21.45 miles everyday from home to his office. He moves into a new apartment that is just 3.65 miles
Mila [183]

Answer:

17.8 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

His old house was 21.45 miles from the office. He moves to a new apartment which is just 3.65 miles from the office.

Since it asks for the distance he reduced to the office, we would do

21.45 - 3.65 = 17.8 miles
