Answer:

The predictor variable is the number of hours spent studying for a test.

The response variable is the grades on a test.

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear regression depicts the relationship between two variables by fitting a linear equation to experimental data values. One variable is known as an predictor (independent) variable, and the other is known as a response (dependent) variable.

The general form of a linear regression line is,

\hat Y = a + bX

Here,

<em>X</em> = predictor variable

Y = response variable.

The variable <em>b</em> = slope of the line, and <em>a</em> = intercept (the value of y when x = 0).

The main purpose of forming a regression line is to estimate or predict the value of the response variable for different values of the predictor variables.

The predictor variable is changes to observe the changes in the response variable.

In this case the college counselor wants to determine if the number of hours spent studying for a test can be used to predict the grades on a test.

The predictor variable is the number of hours spent studying for a test.

The response variable is the grades on a test.

Because the counselor is using the number of hours studied to estimate the marks obtained.

Which two statements are missing in steps 3 and 4?
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

∠B ≅ ∠Y △ABC ~ △ZYX by the SAS similarity theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. AB=6 units

YZ=3 units

BC=8 units

XY=4 units, then

\dfrac{AB}{ZY}=\dfrac{BC}{YX}=2

2. \angle B and \angle Y are right angles - given

3.  \angle B\cong \angle Y two right angles are always congruent.

4. \triangle ABC\sim \triangle ZYX by SAS similarity theorem.

SAS Similarity Theorem states that if two sides in one triangle are proportional to two sides in another triangle and the included angle in both are congruent, then the two triangles are similar.

Slater begins saving for college tuition. He invests $1000 in an account that pays 2.5% simple interest. How many years before h
Brrunno [24]
The formula is Interest = principle times rate times time in years.
                        I=prt        

p=1000
r= 0.025
t=x

To find the amount of interest that is earned in a specific time frame, subtract the final amount of money by the principal. 1500-1000=500.

500 = 1000(0.025)x
500 = 25x   
x= 20 years

A plane flying horizontally at an altitude of 1 mile and a speed of 510 mi/h passes directly over a radar station. Find the rate
sdas [7]

Answer:

442 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

To properly solve this question, I illustrate some given parameters using attached image

From the image, apply Pythagoras theorem

x^2 + 1^2 = y^2

Differentiate w.r.t time (t)

2x\frac{dx}{dt} + 0 = 2y\frac{dy}{dt}

2x\frac{dx}{dt} = 2y\frac{dy}{dt}

Divide both sides by 2

x\frac{dx}{dt} = y\frac{dy}{dt}

From the question, we have that the plan travels are 510mi/h.

This implies that:

\frac{dx}{dt} = 510mi/h

So, we then calculate the value of x when the distance (y) is 2mi i.e.:

y = 2mi

Apply Pythagoras theorem

x^2 + 1^2 = y^2

x^2 + 1^2 = 2^2

x^2 + 1 = 4

x^2 = 4-1

x^2 = 3

x = \sqrt 3

So, the expression becomes:

x\frac{dx}{dt} = y\frac{dy}{dt}

\sqrt 3 * 510 = 2* \frac{dy}{dt}

\frac{\sqrt 3 * 510}{2} =  \frac{dy}{dt}

\sqrt 3 * 255 =  \frac{dy}{dt}

\frac{dy}{dt} = 255\sqrt 3

\frac{dy}{dt} = 255 * 1.7321

\frac{dy}{dt} = 441.655

\frac{dy}{dt} = 442

<em>Hence, the distance is 442 miles</em>
