In an area of the Midwest, records were kept on the relationship between the rainfall (in inches) and the yield of wheat (bushel

s per acre). Which is the best predicted value for y given x = 7.1? Assume that the variables x and y have a significant correlation.
Rainfall (in inches)(x): 10.5,8.8,13.4,12.5,18.8,10.3,7.0,15.6,16.0

Yield (bushels per acre) (y): 50.5,46.2,58.8,59.0,82.4,49.2,31.9,76.0,78.8

A. 35.4, B. 35.2, C. 35.7, D. 35.9

Answer:

Option A is correct.

y = 35.4 bushels per acre when rainfall = 7.1 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

An image of the steps to obtain the equation that relates x to y is attached to this answer.

n = number of variables = 9

μₓ = mean of variable x (rainfall in inches)

μᵧ = mean of variable y (yield in bushels per acre)

σₓ = standard deviation of variable x (rainfall in inches)

σᵧ = standard deviation of variable y (yield in bushels per acre)

y = 4.379x + 4.268

when x = 7.1

y = 4.379(7.1) + 4.268 = 35.3589 = 35.4 bushels per acre.

A man walks at the rate of 88 paces to the minute if the average length of his paces is 0.875m, find the time take to walk 2.31k
Nataly [62]

Answer:

30 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Walk rate = 88 paces/ minute

Average length of pace = 0.875 m

Time taken to walk 2.31 km ;

The distance in metres :

1000 m = 1 km

2.31 km = (1000 * 2.31) = 2310 m

Recall :

Time taken = distance / speed

Distance walked in a minute = 88 * 0.875 = 77 m

Time taken = 2310 / 77

Time taken = 30 minutes

Jim went to the playground. He played on the swings for 45 minutes and went on the slide for 55 minutes. It was 4:35 P.M. when J
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

2:55 P.M.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, add the amount of time Jim played outside; 45+55=100

100 minutes is equal to 1 hour 40 minutes.

If he left the playground at 4:35 P.M., then you have to subtract in order to find out when he arrived there.

Subtract 1 hour 40 minutes from 4:35 P.M. to then get 2:55 P.M.

To confirm your answer, you can add back the 1 hour and 40 minutes to 2:55 P.M. and you'll get 4:35 P.M.; back with what you started with.

Hope this helped !!!
