Answer:
B) The sum of the squared residuals
Step-by-step explanation:
Least Square Regression Line is drawn through a bivariate data(Data in two variables) plotted on a graph to explain the relation between the explanatory variable(x) and the response variable(y).
Not all the points will lie on the Least Square Regression Line in all cases. Some points will be above line and some points will be below the line. The vertical distance between the points and the line is known as residual. Since, some points are above the line and some are below, the sum of residuals is always zero for a Least Square Regression Line.
Since, we want to minimize the overall error(residual) so that our line is as close to the points as possible, considering the sum of residuals wont be helpful as it will always be zero. So we square the residuals first and them sum them. This always gives a positive value. The Least Square Regression Line minimizes this sum of residuals and the result is a line of Best Fit for the bivariate data.
Therefore, option B gives the correct answer.
Answer:
x=9,-1 and 
Explanation:
we have been given with the quadratic equation 
we compare the given quadratic equation with general quadratic equation
general quadratic is 
from given quadratic equation a=1,b= -8,c= -9
substituting these values in the formula for discriminant 
Now, to find the value of x
Formula is 
Now, substituting the values we will get
And rewritting the given equation by shifting 9 to right hand side of the given equation and taking minus inside the bracket so as to convert it in the form of
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
8) (5x + 23) + (17x - 41) = 180
22x = 198
x = 9
arc JK 5(9) + 23 = 68°
arc MJ 17(9) - 41 = 112°
arc LMK 360 - 112 = 248
9) 8x + (21x - 12) + (10x + 9) + 90 = 360
39x = 273
x = 7
arc WX 21(7) - 12 = 135°
arc YW 90 + 8(7) = 146°
arc YX 10(7) + 9 = 79°
arc VXW 360 - 8(7) = 304°
Answer: The test contains 10 three-point questions and 14 five-point questions.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of 3-point questions.
Let y represent the number of 5-point questions.
The maths test consists of 24 questions. This means that
x + y = 24
Each question is worth either 3 points or 5 and the test is worth 100 points. This means that
3x + 5y = 100 - - - - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 24 - y into equation 1, it becomes
3(24 - y) + 5y = 100
72 - 3y + 5y = 100
- 3y + 5y = 100 - 72
2y = 28
y = 28/2 = 14
Substituting y = 14 into x = 24 - y , it becomes
x = 24 - 14 = 10
