Answer:

a) 9 whole batches can be made

b) The cost of sugar for each batch = $0.26

Step-by-step explanation:

A 2-pound bag of sugar contains 227 one-teaspoon servings and costs $2.49.

This means:

2 pound bag of sugar = 227 teaspoon servings

2 pounds bag of sugar cost $2.49

We are told that:

A batch of muffins uses 1/2 cup of sugar.

a).How many whole batches can you make if you use as much of the sugar as possible?

(1 cup = 48 teaspoons)

Hence, A batch of muffins = 1/2 cups of sugar = 48 teaspoons of sugar ÷ 2

= 24 teaspoons of sugar

Hence:

24 teaspoons of sugar = 1 batch of muffins

227 teaspoons of sugar = x

Cross Multiply

24 × x = 1 × 227

x = 227/24

x = 9.4583333333 batches of muffins

We are asked to name the number of whole batches that can be made.

Therefore, 9 whole batches of muffins can be made

b) What is the cost of sugar for each batch? (do not consider leftover sugar in the cost calculation.) You can make a total of batches at $ per batch.

Since we are not to consider the leftover sugar in the cost calculation,

1 batch = 24 teaspoons of sugar

9 whole batches =

9 × 24 teaspoons = 216 teaspoons of sugar was used

The left over = 227 - 216 = 11 teaspoons of sugar is left

We know that:

227 teaspoons of sugar = $2.49

216 teaspoons of sugar = x

Cross Multiply

= 216 × $2.49/227

= $2.369339207

24 teaspoons of sugar = 1 batch of muffins

Therefore,

216 teaspoons of sugar =

$2.369339207

24 teaspoons of sugar =

24 × $2.369339207/ 216

= $0.2632599119

Approximately = $0.26

Therefore, the cost of sugar for each batch = $0.26

What is the equation of the best-fitting regression line? Find this in two ways. First, using the regression analysis part of th
Lemur [1.5K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Regression analysis is used to infer about the relationship between two or more variables.

The line of best fit is a straight line representing the regression equation on a scatter plot. The may pass through either some point or all points or none of the points.

<u>Method 1:</u>

Using regression analysis the line of best fit is: y=\alpha +\beta x+e

Here <em>α </em>= intercept, <em>β</em> = slope and <em>e</em> = error.

The formula to compute the intercept is:

\alpha =\bar y-\beta \bar x

Here<em> </em>\bar y and \bar x are mean of the <em>y</em> and <em>x</em> values respectively.

\bar y=\frac{\sum y_{i}}{n} \\\bar x=\frac{\sum x_{i}}{n}

The formula to compute the slope is:

\beta =\frac{\sum (x-\bar x)(y - \bar y)}{\sum (x=\bar x)^{2}}

And the formula to compute the error is:

e=y-\alpha -\beta x

<u>Method 2:</u>

The regression line can be determined using the descriptive statistics mean, standard deviation and correlation.

The equation of the line of best fit is:

(y-\bar y)=r\frac{\sigma_{x}}{\sigma_{y}} (x-\bar x)

Here <em>r</em> = correlation coefficient = r=\frac{Cov (x,y)}{\sqrt{\sigma^{2}_{x}\sigma^{2}_{y}} }

\sigma_{x} and \sigma_{y} are standard deviation of <em>x</em> and <em>y</em> respectively.

\sigma_{x}=\frac{1}{n}\sum (x-\bar x)^{2} \\\sigma_{y}=\frac{1}{n}\sum (y-\bar y)^{2}
