Answer:

The least squares method results in values of the y-intercept and the slope, that minimizes the sum of the squared deviations between the observed (actual) value and the fitted value.

Step-by-step explanation:

The method of least squares works under these assumptions

  • The best fit for a data collection is a function (sometimes called curve).
  • This function, is such that allows the minimal sum of difference between each observation and the expected value.
  • The expected values are calculated using the fitting function.
  • The difference between the observation, and the expecte value is know as least square error.

Answer:

The answer to your question is: a = 3.5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Right triangle

to find a we need to use the trigonometric function cosine

cosine Ф = opposite leg / hypothenemus

Clear opposite leg from the equation

opposite leg = hypothenemus x cosine Ф

a = opposite leg = 5 x cosine 45

a = 5 x 0.70

a = 3.5 units

It is estimated % of all adults in United States invest in stocks and that % of U.S. adults have investments in fixed income ins
katovenus [111]

Complete question :

It is estimated 28% of all adults in United States invest in stocks and that 85% of U.S. adults have investments in fixed income instruments (savings accounts, bonds, etc.). It is also estimated that 26% of U.S. adults have investments in both stocks and fixed income instruments. (a) What is the probability that a randomly chosen stock investor also invests in fixed income instruments? Round your answer to decimal places. (b) What is the probability that a randomly chosen U.S. adult invests in stocks, given that s/he invests in fixed income instruments?

Answer:

0.929 ; 0.306

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the information:

P(stock) = P(s) = 28% = 0.28

P(fixed income) = P(f) = 0.85

P(stock and fixed income) = p(SnF) = 26%

a) What is the probability that a randomly chosen stock investor also invests in fixed income instruments? Round your answer to decimal places.

P(F|S) = p(FnS) / p(s)

= 0.26 / 0.28

= 0.9285

= 0.929

(b) What is the probability that a randomly chosen U.S. adult invests in stocks, given that s/he invests in fixed income instruments?

P(s|f) = p(SnF) / p(f)

P(S|F) = 0.26 / 0.85 = 0.3058823

P(S¦F) = 0.306 (to 3 decimal places)
