The speed of the first car was 6 miles/hour

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Acceleration is rate of change of velocity.

\large {\boxed {a = \frac{v - u}{t} } }

\large {\boxed {d = \frac{v + u}{2}~t } }

<em>a = acceleration ( m/s² )</em>

<em>v = final velocity ( m/s )</em>

<em>u = initial velocity ( m/s )</em>

<em>t = time taken ( s )</em>

<em>d = distance ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

<u>Given:</u>

Distance between two cars = d = 10 miles

Time Taken = t = 1 hour

Distance covered by the first car = d₁ = 2 + d₂

<u>Unknown:</u>

Speed of the first car = v₁ = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

d = d_1 + d_2

10 = ( 2 + d_2 ) + d_2

10 = 2 + 2d_2

10 - 2 = 2 d_2

8 = 2 d_2

d_2 = 8 \div 2

d_2 = 4 \texttt{ miles}

\texttt{ }

d_1 = 2 + d_2 = 2 + 4 = 6 \texttt{ miles}

v_1 = d_1 \div t = 6 \div 1 = 6 \texttt{ miles/hour}

The speed of the first car is \boxed{6{\text{ mph}}} and the speed of the second car is \boxed{4{\text{ mph}}}.

Further explanation:

The formula of the speed can be expressed as follows,

\boxed{{\text{Speed}} = \frac{{{\text{Distance}}}}{{{\text{Time}}}}}

The formula of the time can be expressed as follows,

\boxed{{\text{Time}} = \frac{{{\text{Distance}}}}{{{\text{Speed}}}}}

Given:

The distance between the two cars is 10{\text{ miles}}.

The first car covered 2 miles more than the second car.

Explanation:

Consider the speed of the second car be “x”.

Consider the speed of the first car be “x+2”.

The distance covered by the first car in one hour is x + 2{\text{ miles}}.

The distance covered by the second car in one hour is x{\text{ miles}}.

The total distance covered by two cars is 10{\text{ miles}}.

\begin{aligned}x + 2 + x &= 10\\2x + 2 &= 10\\2x &= 10 - 2\\2x &= 8\\x&= 4\\\end{aligned}

The speed of the second car is 4{\text{ miles/h}}.

The speed of the first car can be obtained as follows,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Speed}} &= x + 2\\&= 4 + 2\\&= 6{\text{ miles/h}}\\\end{aligned}

The speed of the first car is \boxed{6{\text{ mph}}} and the speed of the second car is \boxed{4{\text{ mph}}}.

For which data set is a linear regression most reasonable?
Oxana [17]

Answer:

The correct option is;

A. A set of nine data pairs with a correlation coefficient r = -0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

In statistical analysis, it is important to make use of an adequate sample size in order to arrive at a valid result. An analysis with a very small sample size can provide misleading results

When performing regression analysis it is generally accepted by researchers that each variable should have at least 10 observations.

Therefore, the data set having nine data pairs with a negative correlation of -0.4 will provide the most valid result that can then be used for generalization about the larger statistical population.
