Let 6x represent the men

5x represents the women

The ratio of men to women is 6 to 5 or 6/5

6x / 5x = 1500/ W where W is the number of women

6/5 = 1500/W

W = 1250 women

Makovka662 [10]

if one customer shows up, and she buys one song, that's $1.29, if she doesn't buy anymore, then that's the charge.

the first song is always at a full price, and after that, to encourage buying, the next ones are just 99 cents, let's see how it goes after a few songs purchases.

1 song.........................$1.29

2 songs.......................$1.29 + 0.99(2)

3 songs.......................$1.29 + 0.99(3)

4 songs.......................$1.29 + 0.99(4)

c songs.......................$1.29 + 0.99(c)

s(c) = 1.29 + 0.99c.

What is the equation of the best-fitting regression line? Find this in two ways. First, using the regression analysis part of th

Lemur [1.5K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Regression analysis is used to infer about the relationship between two or more variables.

The line of best fit is a straight line representing the regression equation on a scatter plot. The may pass through either some point or all points or none of the points.

Method 1:

Using regression analysis the line of best fit is: $y=\alpha +\beta x+e$

Here α = intercept, β = slope and e = error.

The formula to compute the intercept is:

$\alpha =\bar y-\beta \bar x$

Here $\bar y$ and $\bar x$ are mean of the y and x values respectively.

$\bar y=\frac{\sum y_{i}}{n} \\\bar x=\frac{\sum x_{i}}{n}$

The formula to compute the slope is:

$\beta =\frac{\sum (x-\bar x)(y - \bar y)}{\sum (x=\bar x)^{2}}$

And the formula to compute the error is:

$e=y-\alpha -\beta x$

Method 2:

The regression line can be determined using the descriptive statistics mean, standard deviation and correlation.

The equation of the line of best fit is:

$(y-\bar y)=r\frac{\sigma_{x}}{\sigma_{y}} (x-\bar x)$

Here r = correlation coefficient = $r=\frac{Cov (x,y)}{\sqrt{\sigma^{2}_{x}\sigma^{2}_{y}} }$

$\sigma_{x}$ and $\sigma_{y}$ are standard deviation of x and y respectively.

$\sigma_{x}=\frac{1}{n}\sum (x-\bar x)^{2} \\\sigma_{y}=\frac{1}{n}\sum (y-\bar y)^{2}$

The sum of 5 consecutive integers is 120. What is the third number in this sequence?

aliina [53]

Ok so

x - the smallest
The other 4 are : x+1, x+2, x+3, x+4
We know that sum is 120
So
x+x+1+x+2+x+3+x+4=120
Combine like terms
5x+10=120
Subtract 10 on both sides
5x=120-10
5x=110
Divide by 5 on both sides
X=22
The third number is x+2 = 22+2=24
