If 2/3=x/12 , what is the value of x?

2 answers:

8 0

2/3=x/12
Use cross multiply
2*12=3*x
24=3x
Divided both side by 3
24/3=3x/3
x=8
Check:
2/3=x/12
Substitute x with 8
2/3=8/12
2/3=(8/4)/(12/4)
2/3=2/3. As a result, x=8. Hope it help!

A set of n = 15 pairs of X and Y scores has SSX = 10, SSY = 40, and SP = 30. What is the slope for the regression equation for p

Mumz [18]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given $SS_X=10$ , $SS_Y=40$ and SP =30

We have to find the slope for regression on Y from X

The slope on Y from X is given by $b_{yx}=\frac{SP}{SS_X}$

As we have given the value of SP =30 and value of $SS_X=10$

So slope for regression will be $b_{yx}=\frac{30}{10}=3$
