w = 60 lb (amt. of walnuts needed)
100-w = 40 lb (amt. of peanuts needed)
Answer:
slope is undefined
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m = 
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, - 3)
m =
= 
Since division by zero is undefined then the slope of the line is undefined
Option C:
The coefficient of
is 40.
Solution:
Given expression:

Using binomial theorem:

Here 
Substitute in the binomial formula, we get

Now to expand the summation, substitute i = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.


Let us solve the term one by one.






Substitute these into the above expansion.

The coefficient of
is 40.
Option C is the correct answer.
Answer:
a. 
b. The symbol y-bar represents the average price of hotels in the area
Step-by-step explanation:
a. The regression line equation is given by:

Where Alpha represents the slope, Beta represents the intercept with the Y axis, and epsilon represents the random component of the model. Thus,
y
Obtaining:
.
b. In a simple linear regression model the value of y-bar represents the average of all values of y observed. Thus, since y represents the prices of the hotels, then y-bar is the average price of hotels in the area.
