Answer:

Option D)  I and II only                                    

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Regression equation:

w = -115 + 3.6h

where w is the weight in pounds and h is the height in inches.

Since the weight depends on height, height becomes the independent variable and weight becomes the dependent variable.

I. A person who is 61 inches tall will weigh 104.6 pounds

When h = 61,

w = -115 + 3.6(61) = 104.6

Thus, the given statement is true.

II. For every additional inch of height, the predicted weight will increase, on average, by 3.6 pounds.

If the height increases by 1 unit, then,

w(h+1) - w(h) = -115 + 3.6(h+1) - (-115 + 3.6(h))\\w(h+1) - w(h)  = 3.6(h+1-h)\\w(h+1) - w(h)  = 3.6

Thus, the given statement is correct.

III. The correlation between weight and height is negative.

No, the given statement is not correct as with increase in height the weight increases and with decrease in height the weight decreases.

Thus, the correct answer is

Option D)  I and II only

Start at 125 create a pattern that subtracts 6 from each number
igor_vitrenko [27]
In this question, you are asked to make a pattern start with 125 with 6 less number each pattern. Then the pattern equation would be: 125-6x where x is determined by the position of the number.

The question doesn't specify how many numbers in the pattern that needs to be written but the pattern should be like this: 125, 119, 113, 107, 101, 95, 89, 83, 77

SERIOULSLY WOULD SOMEONE JUST HELP ME WITH THESE QUESTIONS FOR ONCE? BY THAT I MEAN NOT ONLY ANSWER 23 AND 22 ALSO 24, 25, 26,27
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

22. √125 is closer to √121 or 11

23. √23.5 is closer to √25 or 5

24. ∛59 is closer to ∛64 or 4 (cubed)

(4 cubed = 64, 3 cubed = 27)

25. ∛430 is closer to ∛512 or 8

(512 - 430 = 82

430- 343= 87)

26. y² = 55 is equal to y = √55,  Closer to √49 or 7

27. d² = 95 is equal to d = √95, Closer to √100 or 10

28. p² = 6.8 is equal to p = √6.8, Closer to √9 or 3

29. ∛210 is closer to ∛216 or 6 (cubed)

30. ∛520 is closer to ∛512 or 8 (cubed)

A sum amount <br>to rupees 34476 in two and a half years at 4% CI. the sum is ​
Kruka [31]

Given:

Amount = Rs. 34476

Rate of compound interest = 4%

Time = 2\dfrac{1}{2}=2.5 years

To find:

The principal value.

Solution:

Formula for amount is

A=P\left(1+\dfrac{r}{100}\right)^t

Where, P is principal value, r is rate of interest and t is time in years.

Putting the given values, we  get

34476=P\left(1+\dfrac{4}{100}\right)^{2.5}

34476=P\left(1+0.04\right)^{2.5}

34476=P\left(1.04\right)^{2.5}

\dfrac{34476}{\left(1.04\right)^{2.5}}=P

Now,

P=31256.0090

P\approx 31256

Therefore, the value of sum or principal value is Rs.31256.

A membership at a yoga studio costs $35 per month. Write an equation for the cost of the membership, c, that you pay if you keep
Usimov [2.4K]
Since there is no base down payment or anything the equation i think would just be 35m = c
If there was say a one time payment of $20 and then the monthly payments it would look like 20+35m=C
I hope this helps :)
