Does the residual plot indicate that a line is a good model for predicting the height of girls from their ages? Explain.

1 answer:

8 0

A plot of residuals (vertical deviations from the regression line) shows the errors or lack of fit, so it would indicate a good fit if the residuals are small, vs. over fit if they are large. Due to age related growth short pre teen, and a plateau after age 21, I would expect a linear regression would offer estimate age 5.5 years.

The sum of the 6th and seventh terms in a sequence of 12 numbers with a common difference is 16. What is the Sum of the number s

patriot [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

commom difference = d

a₆ + a₇ = 16

a₅ + a₈ = (a₆ - d) + (a₇ + d) = a₆ + a₇ = 16

a₄ + a₉ = (a₆ - 2d) + (a₇ + 2d) = a₆ + a₇ = 16

Similarly,

a₃ + a₁₀ = 16, a₂ + a₁₁ = 16, a₁ + a₁₂ = 16

a₁ + a₂ + ... + a₁₁ + a₁₂ = 6 x 16 = 96

The average height of 20-year-old American women is normally distributed with a mean of 64 inches and standard deviation of 4 in

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

Probability that average height would be shorter than 63 inches = 0.30854 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the average height of 20-year-old American women is normally distributed with a mean of 64 inches and standard deviation of 4 inches.

Also, a random sample of 4 women from this population is taken and their average height is computed.

Let X bar = Average height

The z score probability distribution for average height is given by;

Z = $\frac{Xbar-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = population mean = 64 inches

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 4 inches

n = sample of women = 4

So, Probability that average height would be shorter than 63 inches is given by = P(X bar < 63 inches)

P(X bar < 63) = P( $\frac{Xbar-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < $\frac{63-64}{\frac{4}{\sqrt{4} } }$ ) = P(Z < -0.5) = 1 - P(Z <= 0.5)

= 1 - 0.69146 = 0.30854

Hence, it is 30.85% likely that average height would be shorter than 63 inches.

What is the area of the paper used to wrap a can of soup if the can is 11 cm tall and has a diameter of 7.5 cm. Show all formula

Dimas [21]

Notice that a can is a cylinder, which is basically two circles and one rectangle. Now, the question wants area of this rectangle.

You know the width of the rectangle (or the paper), which is 11cm. How do you find the length then?

Notice that the length of the rectangle is also the circumference of the circles. From here, use C = πd where C is circumference and d is diameter. The d is given, which is 7.5 cm. Depending on the question, π can be 3.14, 22/7 or the actual pi.

multiply π and 7.5cm and you get the circumference. Multiply this to 11cm and you get area of the rectangle.
