To increase an amount bu 17.5%what single multiplier would i use ?

This week, we are covering relationships that can be approximated by linear equations. For instance, y = 453x + 3768 represents

Answer:

See explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume that the data is given by :

x: 30, 30, 30, 50, 50, 50, 70,70, 70,90,90,90

y: 38, 43, 29, 32, 26, 33, 19, 27, 23, 14, 19, 21.

Where X represent the cost for scholarships in thousands of dollars and y represent the cost of life for an academic semester (The data comes from the web)

We can find the least-squares line appropriate for this data.

For this case we need to calculate the slope with the following formula:

$m=\frac{S_{xy}}{S_{xx}}$

Where:

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}$

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}$

So we can find the sums like this:

$\sum_{i=1}^n x_i = 30+30+30+50+50+50+70+70+70+90+90+90=720$

$\sum_{i=1}^n y_i =38+43+29+32+26+33+19+27+23+14+19+21=324$

$\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i =30^2+30^2+30^2+50^2+50^2+50^2+70^2+70^2+70^2+90^2+90^2+90^2=49200$

$\sum_{i=1}^n y^2_i =38^2+43^2+29^2+32^2+26^2+33^2+19^2+27^2+23^2+14^2+19^2+21^2=9540$

$\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i =30*38+30*43+30*29+50*32+50*26+50*33+70*19+70*27+70*23+90*14+90*19+90*21=17540$

With these we can find the sums:

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}=49200-\frac{720^2}{12}=6000$

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}=17540-\frac{720*324}{12}{12}=-1900$

And the slope would be:

$m=-\frac{1900}{6000}=-0.317$

Nowe we can find the means for x and y like this:

$\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{720}{12}=60$

$\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{324}{12}=27$

And we can find the intercept using this:

$b=\bar y -m \bar x=27-(-0.317*60)=46.02$

So the line would be given by:

$y=-0.317 x +46.02$

We have an inverse linear relationship since the slope is negative between the variables of interest.

What is 1/4 subtract 1 and 1/2 A. 1/2 B. 1/8 C. 3/4 D. 3/8

Lelu [443]

Answer:

-1 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 - (1 1/2)

Get a common denominator

1/4 - 1 2/4

Take the larger number and subtract the smaller number and take the sign of the larger

1 2/4 - 1/4 = 1 1/4

The sign of the larger was negative

-1 1/4

A Ferris wheel has a diameter of 56 ft. how far will a rider travel during a 4-minute ride if the wheel rotates once every 20 se

Luba_88 [7]

First calculate the circumference. Usually this is the diameter times pi, but since we are told to estimate pi, the circumference equals 56 * 22/7 or 176 feet.
In 4 minutes, 4 * 60 = 240 seconds pass. In this time, a 20 second period will occur 240/20 = 12 times.
So we know that the rider rotates 12 times and each rotation takes them 176 feet, meaning that they will travel 12 * 176 = 2112 feet
