This is a problem of guess and check; there's no easier way to do it.But in this case you must have an odd number of nickels to make the 5 cents, so your answer is 9 nickels.you can check this by multiplying each one by .05: 9*.05=.45 the rest of the coins left, are 8 of them, and their dimes. .10*8=.80 .80+.45= 1.25

Please help What is the domain of the following function?
enot [183]

Answer:

Let's use these two sets given to explain what is the domain.

Each value from the left set is x, and from the right is f(x).

If we plug any x from the left set in the function, we'll get f(x)  that corresponds to it and that's exactly what the arrows are showing.

Domain of the function is, basically, a set of all values x can have.

In this case, it's easy to see, those are all members of the left set (-6, 1, 5, 8), but sometimes this set can have lots and lots of members, even infinity.

Accountants at the Tucson​ firm, Larry​ Youdelman, CPAs, believed that several traveling executives were submitting unusually hi
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

a) Y= 90 +46.50(5) +0.35 (340) =441.50

b) The accountant should not question the voucher as the request is much higher than expected.

c) We can add the following variables

d) The percentage of variation in the trip cost that can be explained by the model​ = (0.64)^2 =0.4096 or 40.96%

A. Type of travel (air/car)

B. Gender of the executive (male/female)

The last option is not too important since we are analyzing the traveling executives not the type of business

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

For this case we have the multiple regression model given by:

Y= 90 +46.50 x_1 +0.35 x_2

Where x_1 represent the number of days on the road and x_2 the distance traveled in miles.

And we want to find the expected amount from a 340​-mile trip that took her out of town for 5 ​days, so we just need to replace x1= 5 and x2=340 and we got:

Y= 90 +46.50(5) +0.35 (340) =441.50

Part b

The expected value taking in count that x1 = 5 and y = 340 is:

Y= 90 +46.50(55) +0.35 (340) =441.50

And the difference from the obtained value is : 685-441.50=243.5

So then the correct answer would be:

The accountant should not question the voucher as the request is much higher than expected.

Part c

We can add the following variables

A. Type of travel (air/car)

B. Gender of the executive (male/female)

The last option is not too important since we are analyzing the traveling executives not the type of business

Part d

The correlation coefficient is a "statistical measure that calculates the strength of the relationship between the relative movements of two variables". It's denoted by r and its always between -1 and 1.

The coefficient of determination "is a measure used in statistical analysis that assesses how well a model explains and predicts future outcomes. It is indicative of the level of explained variability in the data set".

The percentage of variation in the trip cost that can be explained by the model​ = (0.64)^2 =0.4096 or 40.96%

The football team lost 4 yards on 2 plays in a row. Which of the following could represent the change in field position?
