Tim is investigating the relationship between the number of years since a tree was planted and the height of the tree in feet. H

Using a regression calculator, what is a good prediction for the height of the tree when it is 100 years old?

A calculator screen. A 2-column table with 6 rows titled Data. Column 1 is labeled x with entries 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9. Column 2 is labeled y with entries 17, 25, 42, 47, 54, 69. The regression equation is y almost-equals 7.36 x + 3.08; r almost-equals 0.998.
A good prediction for the height of the tree when it is 100 years old is about 315 feet because that is what the trend line, y almost-equals 3.08 x + 7.36, produced by the regression calculator predicts.
A good prediction for the height of the tree when it is 100 years old is about 739 feet because that is what the trend line, y almost-equals 7.36 x + 3.08, produced by the regression calculator predicts.
There is not a good prediction for the height of the tree when it is 100 years old because the trend line produced by the regression calculator does not give a prediction.
There is not a good prediction for the height of the tree when it is 100 years old because the prediction given by the trend line produced by the regression calculator probably is not valid that far in the future.

Answer: There is not a good prediction for the height of the tree when it is 100 years old because the prediction given by the trend line produced by the regression calculator probably is not valid that far in the future.

Step-by-step explanation:

Years since tree was planted (x) - - - - height (y)

2 - - - - 17

3 - - - - 25

5 - - - 42

6 - - - - 47

7 - - - 54

9 - - - 69

Using a regression calculator :

The height of tree can be modeled by the equation : ŷ = 7.36X + 3.08

With y being the predicted variable; 7.36 being the slope and 3.08 as the intercept.

X is the independent variable which is used in calculating the value of y.

Predicted height when years since tree was planted(x) = 100

ŷ = 7.36X + 3.08

ŷ = 7.36(100) + 3.08

y = 736 + 3.08

y = 739.08

Forward prediction of 100 years produced by the trendline would probably give an invalid value because the trendline only models a range of 9 years prediction. However, a linear regression equation isn't the best for making prediction that far in into the future.

The answer is 908 kilogram more than the average

Step-by-step explanation:

the worlds largest pumpkin weighed 913 kilograms.

the average pumpkin weights 5000 grams which means 5 kilograms


So 913 - 5 = 908 kilograms

the worlds largest pumpkin is 908 kilogram more than the averaged sized pumpkin

What is the value of x? 27(x+4)=−6
jonny [76]
First you need to use the distributive property:   27(x+4)=-6 
                                                                              27x+108=-6
then you need to subtract 108 from -6 to
get x alone.                                                           27x= 102

Lastly divide 102 by  27 to finally get x alone:      x=3.777

the answer would be: x= 3.77 or 3.8

PLSSS HELPPP DUE SOON ILL GIVE BRAINLESS
Kitty [74]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

A, B, and C are not linear functions

D would be y=x/2

If you graphed y=x/2, you would get the points (4, 2), (7, 3.5), (8, 4), and (10, 5)

It's more obvious if you notice that y is half of x.
