A study is given in which scientists examined data on mean sea surface temperatures (in degrees Celsius) and mean coral growth (

in millimeters per year) over a several-year period at different locations. Here are the data:
Sea Surface Temperature 29.69 29.87 30.16 30.22 30.48 30.65 30.80
Growth 2.63 2.57 2.67 2.50 2.47 2.38 2.25


Required:
a. Find the mean and standard deviation of both sea surface temperature x and growth y and the correlation r between x and y.
b. Find the least-squares line. The result should agree with your work in part (a) up to roundoff error. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)
c. Say in words what the numerical value of the slope tells you.

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Sea Surface Temperature (x) : 29.69 29.87 30.16 30.22 30.48 30.65 30.80

Growth : (y) 2.63 2.57 2.67 2.50 2.47 2.38 2.25

Mean (x) :

Σ(X) / n

n = number of observations

Mean (m1) = Σ(X) / n = 211.87 / 7 = 30.27

Standard deviation(sx) = 0.3742 (using calculator)

Mean (m2) :

Σ(y) / n = 17.47 / 7 = 2.50

Standard deviation(sy) = 0.1354 ( using calculator)

Correlation (r) :

(1/n)Σ[(x - m1) / sx] × [(y - m2) /sy]

Using calculator to save computing time :

r = - 0.8642

b. Find the least-squares line. The result should agree with your work in part (a) up to roundoff error. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

The least square line using the regression calculator :

y = -0.31 + 11.96x

Comparing to the regression equation format :

y = mx + c

Where ;

-0.31 = intercept ; 11.96 = slope ; x = independent variable ; y = dependent variable

c. Say in words what the numerical value of the slope tells you.

For every 1° degree rise in surface temperature, growth increases by 11.96

3 / m + 4 - 4 / m = 6 (i) Show that this equation can be written as 6m^2 + 25m+16= 0
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Proved Below

Step-by-step explanation:

\sf \frac{3}{m+4} - \frac{4}{m} = 6\\LCM = m(m+4)\\Multiplying \ both \ sides \ by\ m(m+4)\\3m - 4(m+4) = 6m(m+4)\\3m-4m-16 = 6m^2+24m\\-m-16 = 6m^2+24m\\Adding\ m\ to\ both\ sides\\-16 = 6m^2+24m+m\\-16 = 6m^2+25m\\Adding \ 16 \ to \ both \ sides\\0 = 6m^2+25m+16\\OR\\6m^2+25m+16 = 0

Hence, Proved that \sf \frac{3}{m+4} - \frac{4}{m} = 6 is equivalent to \sf 6m^2+25m+16 = 0.

Select the function that's represented in the graph. Question 5 options: A) ƒ(x) = x2 – 3 B) ƒ(x) = –1∕2x2 – 3 C) ƒ(x) = –x2 – 3
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

a)

Step-by-step explanation:

hello,

because of the end behaviour the constant in  x^2 should be positive so we have a) or d)

f(0)=-3 in both cases

for A) f(x)=

x^2-3=(x-\sqrt{3})(x+\sqrt{3})

so f(x)=0 for x=\sqrt{3} \ or \  x = -\sqrt{3}

so the correct answer is A)

hope this helps
