Answer: The required value of a is $\dfrac{3}{2}b.$

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to solve the following equation for variable a :

$7a-2b=5a+b~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

To solve the above equation for a, we need to take terms involving a on one side of equality that that involving b on the other side.

So, from equation (i), we get

$7a-2b=5a+b\\\\\Rightarrow 7a-5a=b+2b\\\\\Rightarrow 2a=3b\\\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{3}{2}b.$

Thus, the required value of a is $\dfrac{3}{2}b.$

7a-2b = 5a + b
2a=3b
a = 3b/2

Answer:

35 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

180 - 110 = 70 (TUW and UWT together)

70 / 2 = 35 (UWT)

Since the other part is congruent, we can assume it is also 35.

The least squares regression line minimizes the sum of the Group of answer choices differences between actual and predicted y va

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

The least squares regression minimizes the sum of squared differences between actual and predicted y-values. This is the last option in your list of possible answers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that when one performs the least square regression, one deals with what are called the "residuals". These are the differences in between the predicted "y-value" from the best fitting function, and the actual value of the dependent variable plotted (the actual y-value of the plotted points)

What the least square regression does is to find the best function parameters that minimize the sum of these squared residuals.
