Question:
A solar power company is trying to correlate the total possible hours of daylight (simply the time from sunrise to sunset) on a given day to the production from solar panels on a residential unit. They created a scatter plot for one such unit over the span of five months. The scatter plot is shown below. The equation line of best fit for this bivariate data set was: y = 2.26x + 20.01
How many kilowatt hours would the model predict on a day that has 14 hours of possible daylight?
Answer:
51.65 kilowatt hours
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the equation line of best fit for this data as:
y = 2.26x + 20.01
On a day that has 14 hours of possible daylight, the model prediction will be calculated as follow:
Let x = 14 in the equation.
Therefore,
y = 2.26x + 20.01
y = 2.26(14) + 20.01
y = 31.64 + 20.01
y = 51.65
On a day that has 14 hours of daylight, the model would predict 51.65 kilowatt hours

Answer:
$0.76 per cup
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Find the unit price for a quart</u>
To find the unit price, divide the amount by the price
6.08 / 2
<em>$3.04 per quart</em>
<em />
<u>Step 2: Find the unit price for a cup</u>
1 quart = 4 cups
3.04 quarts / 4 cups
<em>$0.76 per cup</em>
Answer: $0.76 per cup
