An automobile dealer wants to see if there is a relationship between monthly sales and the interest rate. A random sample of 4 m

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

a) $y=-6.254 x +75.064$

b) r =-0.932

The % of variation is given by the determination coefficient given by $r^2$ and on this case $-0.932^2 =0.8687$ , so then the % of variation explained by the linear model is 86.87%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the following dataset:

Monthly Sales (Y) Interest Rate (X)

22 9.2

20 7.6

10 10.4

45 5.3

Part a

And we want a linear model on this way y=mx+b, where m represent the slope and b the intercept. In order to find the slope we have this formula:

$m=\frac{S_{xy}}{S_{xx}}$

Where:

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}$

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}$

With these we can find the sums:

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}=278.65-\frac{32.5^2}{4}=14.5875$

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i){n}}=696.9-\frac{32.5*97}{4}=-91.225$

And the slope would be:

$m=\frac{-91.225}{14.5875}=-6.254$

Nowe we can find the means for x and y like this:

$\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{32.5}{4}=8.125$

$\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{97}{4}=24.25$

And we can find the intercept using this:

$b=\bar y -m \bar x=24.25-(-6.254*8.125)=75.064$

So the line would be given by:

$y=-6.254 x +75.064$

Part b

For this case we need to calculate the correlation coefficient given by:

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

$r=\frac{4(696.9)-(32.5)(97)}{\sqrt{[4(278.65) -(32.5)^2][4(3009) -(97)^2]}}=-0.937$

So then the correlation coefficient would be r =-0.932

The % of variation is given by the determination coefficient given by $r^2$ and on this case $-0.932^2 =0.8687$ , so then the % of variation explained by the linear model is 86.87%.

A village was founded four hundred years ago by a group of 20 people. In this village, the population triples every one hundred

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Treat this like compound interest: Use A = P(1 + r)^t.

Here, P is the initial population and A is 3 times that, or 3P. Since P = 20 people, 3P = 60 people,

and this population is reached after 100 years.

We need to determine r, substitute its value into the formula A = P(1 + r)^t, and then determine the population of the village after 400 years.

60 = 20(1 + r)^100

Simplifying, 3 = (1 + r)^100.

Taking the natural log of both sides,

ln 3 = 100 ln (1 + r), or

ln 3

ln (1 + r) = ---------------

100

= 1.0986 / 100 = 0.01986

We must solve this for r. Raising e to the power ln (1 + r), on the left side of an equation, and raising e to the power 0. 01986 on the right side, we get:

1 + r = 3, so r must = 2.

Now find the pop of the village today. Use the same equation: A = P (1+r)^t.

A = 20(1 +2)^4 (hundreds),

A = 20(3)^4, or

A = 81

The population after 400 years is 81.

How would you solve this

nika2105 [10]

To find 10% you would just divide 200 by 10
=200/10
=20

hope this helped !
