Help ASAP!!! Create your own scatter plot that represents a real world situation. Then, draw a line of best fit and calculate th

e slope and y-intercept of your line. Last, write an equation for your line in y = mx + b form. This is my final grade of the year and I can't do any math plaese help me!! AND PLS DO A GOOD JOBBBB

Answer:

A student had a hypothesis for a science project. He believed that the more students studied math, the better their math scores would be. He took a poll in which he asked students the average number of hours that they studied per week during a given semester. He then found out the overall percent that they received in their math classes. His data is shown in the table below:

Study Time (hours) 4 3.5 5 2 3 6.5 0.5 3.5 4.5 5 1 1.5 3 5.5

Math Grade (percent) 82 81 90 74 77 97 51 78 86 88 62 75 70 90

In order to understand this data, he decided to make a scatterplot.

The independent variable, or input data, is the study time because the hypothesis is that the math grade depends on the study time. That means that the math grade is the dependent variable, or output data. The input data is on the x-axis and the output data is on the y-axis.

The scales and intervals on the axes will be determined by the data. Since the greatest value on the x-axis is 6.5, you can use intervals of 1 until you reach 7. On the y-axis, the greatest value is 97 and, since it is a percent, you can use intervals of 10 until you reach 100.

Step-by-step explanation:

Now you can graph the points on the scatterplot. In order to plot the points, you will show each one as an ordered pair (hours, percent). The first ordered pair, then, is (4, 82). Plot each of the 14 points. Remember, it takes two pieces of data to make a single point.

You can see that there is a relationship between the independent and dependent values of the chart.

Scientists in the real world rarely create scatterplots on a piece of paper and compute equations by hand. They use computer programs that can approximate the trend line much more accurately.

You can make scatterplots on your graphing calculator, if you have one. Then, you can compute the trend line called the linear regression in some models. Your graphing calculator can put the equation in y=mx+b form or Ax+By=C form, depending on the mode you choose. Then, you can choose any input values for which your calculator will tell you the output values.

Answer:

  P(x) = 3.88x -1750

Step-by-step explanation:

Profit is the difference between revenue and cost.

  P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

  P(x) = 4.1x -(0.22x +1750) . . . . . substitute the given expressions

  P(x) = 3.88x -1750 . . . . . . . . . . simplify

The ratio of working-age population to the elderly in the United States (including projections after 2000) is given by the funct
Dovator [93]

Answer:

a) Sketch the graph of the function f. (it is in the attached file)

b) What was the ratio at the beginning of 2006? At the beginning of 2014?

For 2006 the ratio is 3.92

For 2014 the ratio is 3.5

c) Over what years is the ratio constant?

[1995, 2000]

d) Over what years is the decline of the ratio greatest?

[2010, 2030]

Step-by-step explanation:

b) We first need to know in between which function 2006 falls into, so if we start in t=0=1995, then 2006-1995=11, t=11

t=11 fall into:

f(x)=-0.03t+4.25

f(11)=-0.03(11)+4.25=3.92

For 2006 the ratio is 3.92

2014:

Same process that 2006, t=0=1995, then 2014-1995=19, t=19

t=19fall into:

f(x)=-0.075t+4.925

f(19)=-0.075(11)+4.925=3.5

For 2014 the ratio is 3.5

c) The ratio is only constant in the first section of the graph 0≤t<5, since 4.1 is constant. Following the same process for the years in star (b) we have t=0, 1995+0=1995, t=5, 1995+5=2000.

The ratio will be constant between [1995, 2000]

d) For the greatest decline we need to compare slopes. From the line equation we have:

y(x)=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the point the line intersects with the y axis. Here we have:

f(x)=-0.03t+4.25  for 5≤t<15

f(x)=-0.075t+4.925  for 15≤t≤35

So:

m=-0.03 for 5≤t<15

m=-0.075 for 15≤t≤35

If we are measuring the steepness of the decline, we have to compare:

|-0.03| and |-0.075| or 0.03 and 0.075, easily finding that 0.075>0.03

And doing the sames process for the years in question (c):

t=15, 1995+15=2010, and t=35, 1995+35=2030

This means that the biggest decline is between the years:

[2010, 2030]

If you multiply 2 xr you will get the *<br> -radius<br> -circumference<br> -diameter<br> -area
Komok [63]

Answer:

Diameter

Step-by-step explanation:

Variable r stands for radius.

The radius is half of the length within the circle from the two farthest points.

Multiplying this radius will get you the diameter, which is the full length (instead of half) within the circle from the two farthest points.
