Solution:

We are given that

Shaneese is buying peanuts and cashews.

he has $12 to spend.

peanuts cost $3 per pound and cashews cost $4 per pound.

she buys x pounds of peanuts and y pounds of cashews.

The equation that represents the amount of each is $3x + 4y = 12.$

Now we have been asked to find the y-intercept.

To find the y-intercept , we need to set x=0

when x=0, equation becomes

$3*0 + 4y = 12.$

$0 + 4y = 12.$

$4y = 12.$

Divide both the sides by 4 we get

$y = 3$

Hence the y-intercept is 3.

Answer:

$\large Q1:\ x=18\ ft\\\\Q2:\ 6\ inches$

Step-by-step explanation:

Q3.

If ΔGHI and ΔJKL are similar, then the sides are in proportion:

$\dfrac{JL}{GI}=\dfrac{LK}{IH}$

We have

JL = x, GI = 9 ft, LK = 24 ft, IH = 12 ft.

Substitute:

$\dfrac{x}{9}=\dfrac{24}{12}$

$\dfrac{x}{9}=2$ <em> multiply both sides by 2</em>

$x=18\ ft$

Q4.

We must multiply the original length by a scale factor of 3/4:

$\dfrac{3}{4}\cdot8\ in=\dfrac{3}{1}\cdot2\ in=(3)(2)\ in=6\ in$

A simple random sample of 10 paired values (x,y) yields the following statistical calculations: ∑x=108, ∑y=138, ∑(x2) =1249, ∑(y

lora16 [44]

The linear correlation coefficient is $r=1.054$

Explanation:

It is given that $\Sigma x=108$ , $\Sigma y=138$ , $\Sigma x^{2} =1249$ , $\Sigma y^{2} =2280$ and $\Sigma(x y)=1676$

Also, the random sample is $n=10$

The formula to determine the correlation coefficient is given by

$r=\frac{n\left(\sum x y\right)-\left(\sum x\right)(\Sigma y)}{\sqrt{\left[n \sum x^{2}-\left(\sum x\right)^{2}\right]\left[n \Sigma y^{2}-(\Sigma y)^{2}\right]}}$

Substituting the values in the formula, we have,

$r=\frac{10(1676)-(108)(138)}{\sqrt{\left[10(1249)-(108)^{2}\right]\left[10(2280)-(138)^{2}\right]}}$

Simplifying the values, we get,

$r=\frac{16760-14904}{\sqrt{\left[12490-11664\right]\left[22800-19044\right]}}$

Subtracting the values in both numerator and denominator, we have,

$r=\frac{1856}{\sqrt{\left[826\right]\left[3756\right]}}$

Multiplying the denominator,

$r=\frac{1856}{\sqrt{3102456}}$

Simplifying, we have,

$r=\frac{1856}{1761.4}$

Dividing, we get,

$r=1.054$

Thus, the linear correlation coefficient is $r=1.054$
