l places.
x y
2 30
5 19
7 20
12 9
16 2
A. y = -1.893x + 31.901
B. y = 1.893x - 31.901
C. y = 31.901x - 1.893
D. y = -31.901x + 1.893

Answer:

Option: A is the correct answer.

A. y = -1.893x + 31.901

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a table of values as:

x         y

2       30

5       19

7       20

12       9

16       2

Now clearly from the set of values we see that with the increasing value of x the y-value is decreasing this means that the correlation is negative.

Hence, the slope of the line of best fit will be negative.

Hence, option: B and option: C are discarded.

Hence, when we plot the data values in a scatter plot.

We see that the equation of line of best fit is:

y=-1.893x+31.901

A box contains 5 red balls, 6 white balls and 9 black balls. Two balls are drawn at
valina [46]

Answer:

P(Same)=\frac{61}{190}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Red = 5

White = 6

Black = 9

Required

The probability of selecting 2 same colors when the first is not replaced

The total number of ball is:

Total = 5 + 6 + 9

Total = 20

This is calculated as:

P(Same)=P(Red\ and\ Red) + P(White\ and\ White) + P(Black\ and\ Black)

So, we have:

P(Same)=\frac{n(Red)}{Total} * \frac{n(Red) - 1}{Total - 1} + \frac{n(White)}{Total} * \frac{n(White) - 1}{Total - 1}  + \frac{n(Black)}{Total} * \frac{n(Black) - 1}{Total - 1}

<em>Note that: 1 is subtracted because it is a probability without replacement</em>

P(Same)=\frac{5}{20} * \frac{5 - 1}{20- 1} + \frac{6}{20} * \frac{6 - 1}{20- 1}  + \frac{9}{20} * \frac{9- 1}{20- 1}

P(Same)=\frac{5}{20} * \frac{4}{19} + \frac{6}{20} * \frac{5}{19}  + \frac{9}{20} * \frac{8}{19}

P(Same)=\frac{20}{380} + \frac{30}{380}  + \frac{72}{380}

P(Same)=\frac{20+30+72}{380}

P(Same)=\frac{122}{380}

P(Same)=\frac{61}{190}
