Leonard is studying the relationship between the fuel efficiency in miles per gallon (mpg), y, and the speed in miles per hour (

mph), x, of his car. He collected data for 8 different speeds and found a linear model that best fit his data: y = 18.46 + 0.16x. To analyze the fit, he found the residuals and created the following residual plot.
Using the residual plot, what conclusion can he make about the linear model he found?
A. There is a negative linear relationship between the speed and fuel efficiency.
B. There is a positive linear relationship between the speed and fuel efficiency.
C. There is a quadratic relationship between the speed and fuel efficiency.
D. There is a nonlinear relationship between the speed and fuel efficiency.

Answer:

D. There is a nonlinear relationship between the speed and fuel efficiency.  

Step-by-step explanation:

A desirable residual plot should show a horizontal band with points randomly distributed about the horizontal axis.

Leonard's plot is definitely nonlinear.

The residuals show a good fit to a parabola.

This suggests that the relation between speed and fuel efficiency may be parabolic.

Do<br><br> 5cm<br> 5cm<br> 15 cm<br><br> form a triangle?
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

No, 5cm, 5cm, and 15cm cannot create a triangle because the side lengths do not follow the formula a + b > c. Since 5 + 5 = 10, and 10 is not greater than 15, these side lengths won't be able to form a triangle.

Hope this helps!!

HELP ME PLEASE!!!!<br> ΔAXY ~ ΔABC. What is the value of BC
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

BC = 28 \frac{1}{3} ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

\frac{AX}{AB} = \frac{XY}{BC} , substitute values

\frac{12}{20} = \frac{17}{BC} ( cross- multiply )

12BC = 340 ( divide both sides by 12 )

BC = \frac{340}{12} = \frac{85}{3} = 28 \frac{1}{3}

First you do 1482/7 which gives you an average for each day (211.7)

Then you take 211.7  and divide that by 24 because there are 24 hours in a day and doing so would give you 8.8
