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'

On Sunday, a local hamburger shop sold a combined of 572 hamburger and cheeseburger. The number of cheeseburgers sold was three
igor_vitrenko [27]
Answer: 143 hamburgers and 429 cheese burgers

Explanation:

Call h and c the number of both items.
(h-hamburger and c-cheeseburger)

h + c = 572
c = 3h

Sub the second into the first

h + 3h = 572
4h = 572

Divide both sides by 4
h = 143 hamburgers

Use this back into the second equation
c = 3 • 143 = 429 cheeseburgers
