Answer: the length of string that been let out to fly the kite this high is 172.89 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of string attached to the kite, the vertical height of the kite above the ground and the ground distance forms a right angle triangle.

With an angle of 57 degrees, the length of the string that is attached to the kite represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.

The height of the kite above the ground represents the opposite side of the triangle

To determine h, the length of the string that has been let out to fly the kite this high, we would apply the

Sine trigonometric ratio which is expressed as

Sine θ = opposite side/hypotenuse

Sin 57 = 145/h

h = 145/Sin57 = 145/0.8387

h = 172.89

Let x be the average number of employees in a group health insurance plan, and let y be the average administrative cost as a per
Step2247 [10]

A scatter diagram has points that show the relationship between two sets of data.

We have the following data,

\left\begin{array}{ccccccc}\mathrm{x}&3&7&15&32&74\\\mathrm{y}&40&35&30&25&17\end{array}\right

where <em>x</em> is the average number of employees in a group health insurance plan and <em>y</em> is the average administrative cost as a percentage of claims.

To make a scatter diagram you must, draw a graph with the independent variable on the horizontal axis (<em>in this case x</em>) and the dependent variable on the vertical axis (<em>in this case y</em>). For each pair of data, put a dot or a symbol where the x-axis value intersects the y-axis value.

Linear regression is a way to describe a relationship between two variables through an equation of a straight line, called line of best fit, that most closely models this relationship.

To find the line of best fit for the points, follow these steps:

Step 1: Find X\cdot Y and X\cdot X as it was done in the below table.

Step 2: Find the sum of every column:

\sum{X} = 131 ~,~ \sum{Y} = 147 ~,~ \sum{X \cdot Y} = 2873 ~,~ \sum{X^2} = 6783

Step 3: Use the following equations to find intercept a and slope b:

\begin{aligned}        a &= \frac{\sum{Y} \cdot \sum{X^2} - \sum{X} \cdot \sum{XY} }{n \cdot \sum{X^2} - \left(\sum{X}\right)^2} =             \frac{ 147 \cdot 6783 - 131 \cdot 2873}{ 5 \cdot 6783 - 131^2} \approx 37.05 \\ \\b &= \frac{ n \cdot \sum{XY} - \sum{X} \cdot \sum{Y}}{n \cdot \sum{X^2} - \left(\sum{X}\right)^2}        = \frac{ 5 \cdot 2873 - 131 \cdot 147 }{ 5 \cdot 6783 - \left( 131 \right)^2} \approx -0.292\end{aligned}

Step 4: Assemble the equation of a line

\begin{aligned} y~&=~a ~+~ b \cdot x \\y~&=~37.05 ~-~ 0.292 \cdot x\end{aligned}
