Question:
A solar power company is trying to correlate the total possible hours of daylight (simply the time from sunrise to sunset) on a given day to the production from solar panels on a residential unit. They created a scatter plot for one such unit over the span of five months. The scatter plot is shown below. The equation line of best fit for this bivariate data set was: y = 2.26x + 20.01
How many kilowatt hours would the model predict on a day that has 14 hours of possible daylight?
Answer:
51.65 kilowatt hours
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the equation line of best fit for this data as:
y = 2.26x + 20.01
On a day that has 14 hours of possible daylight, the model prediction will be calculated as follow:
Let x = 14 in the equation.
Therefore,
y = 2.26x + 20.01
y = 2.26(14) + 20.01
y = 31.64 + 20.01
y = 51.65
On a day that has 14 hours of daylight, the model would predict 51.65 kilowatt hours

Step-by-step explanation:


Answer:
-2.8 or -14/5
Step-by-step explanation:
To divide one fraction by another, there is a really cool method called Keep Change Flip
Keep the first fraction
Change the division sign to multiplication
Flip the numbers on the last fraction
Let's try it out.
Keep the 1/5
Change the ÷ to a ×
Flip the -1/14 to a -14/1
1/5 × -14/1
Multiply the top numbers by each other first
1 × -14 = -14
Now the bottom numbers
5 × -1 = -5
The fraction we have now is -14/5
It can also be written as -2.8
