Sarita showed the steps to solving the equation.
1 answer:
The option that explains Sarita's mistake is Sarita’s solution is correct. She made an error in her verification.
<h3>What was Sarita's mistake?</h3>The given equation is: 5(x - 3) + 7(x + 4) = 73
In order to determine the value of x, take the following steps:
1. Apply the Distributive property:
5x - 15 + 7x + 28 = 73
2. Add similar terms together:
12x + 13 = 73
3. Combine similar terms:
12x = 73 - 13
4. Add similar terms
12x = 60
5. Divide both sides of the equation by 12
x = 60 / 12
x = 5
In order to verify the answer, substitute for x in the given equation :
5(5 - 3) + 7(5 + 4) = 73
5(2) + 7(9) = 73
10 + 63 = 73
73 = 73

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
Given the variables
X: daily hotel room rate
Y: amount spent on the entertainment
See second attachment for scatter plot.
The population regression equation is E(Yi)= α + βXi
To estimate the y-intercept and the slope of the regression equation you have to apply the following formulas:
a= Y[bar]-bX[bar]
n= 9; ∑X= 945; ∑X²= 103325; ∑Y= 1134 ∑Y²= 148804; ∑XY= 123307
X[bar]= ∑X/n= 945/9= 105
Y[bar]= ∑Y/n= 1134/9= 126
a= 126 - 1.03*105= 17.49
^Y= 17.49 + 1.03Xi
Slope interpretation: The estimated average amount spent on entertainment increases 1.03 every time the daily hotel room rate increases one unit.
If the room rate for Chicago is $128 (X), to predict the mount spent in entertainment (Y) you have replace it in the estimated regression line:
^Y= 17.49 + 1.03Xi= 17.49 + 1.03*128= 149.33
The expected amount spent on entertainment for Chicago is $149.33
I hope this helps!
