The mean height of married American women in their early twenties is 64.5 inches and the standard deviation is 2.5 inches. The m

ean height of married mean the same age is 68.5 inches, with standard deviation of 2.7 inches. The correlation between the heights of husbands and wives is about r = 0.5. a) Find the equation of the least-squares regression line for predicting a husband’s height from the wife’s height for married couples in their early 20s.

Answer:

The equation for regression line and predicting a husband's height for married couples in their early 20s

Equation: Y'=33.67+0.54*X'

Step-by-step explanation:

r=0.5

x'=64.5

Sx=2.5

y'=68.5

Sy=2.7

General regression line equation is:

Y'=a+b*X'

so the slope of the regression line is the linear correlation coefficient multiplied by the standard deviation for y' divided by the standard deviation for x'

b=r*\frac{S_{y}}{S_{x}}\\b=0.5*\frac{2.7}{2.5}\\b=0.54

The intercept with axis y is the mean of the decreased by the product of the slope and the mean of x

a=y'-b*x'\\a=68.5-0.54*64.5\\a=33.67

The equation regression line then is:

Y'=33.67+0.54*X'

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

9 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

-let x be the speed of current and t be time. The speed equation for both directions can then be represented as:

Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}\\\\\#Upstream\\(u-6)t=9\\\\\#Donwstream\\\\(u+6)t=45

#Since t is equal in both, we can do away with t.

#We the divide the downstream equation by the upstream equation as:

\frac{u+6}{u-6}=\frac{45}{9}\\\\(u+6)=5(u-6)\\\\u+6=5u-30\\\\4u=36\\\\u=9

Hence, the boat's speed in still water is  9 mph
