A college job placement office collected data about students’ GPAs and the salaries they earned in their first jobs after gradua

tion. The mean GPA was 2.9 with a standard deviation of 0.4. Starting salaries had a mean of $47200 with a SD of $8500. The correlation between the two variables was r = 0.72. The association appeared to be linear in the scatterplot. a) Write an equation of the model that can predict salary based on GPA and find the slope and intercept. b) Your brother just graduated from that college with a GPA of 3.30. He tells you that based on this model the residual for his pay is -$1880. What salary is he earning? c) What proportion of the variation in salaries is explained by variation in GPA?

Answer:

X is the GPA

Y is the Salary

Standard deviation of X is 0.4

Standard deviation of Y is 8500

E(X)=2.9

E(Y)=47200

We are given that The correlation between the two variables was r = 0.72

a)y = a+bx

b = \frac{\sum(x_i-\bar{x})(y_i-\bar{y})}{\sum(x_i-\bar{x})^2} = \frac{r \times \sqrt{var(X) \times Var(Y)}}{Var(X)} =  \frac{0.72 \times \sqrt{0.4^2 \times 8500^2}}{0.4^2} = 15300

a=y-bx = 47200-(15300 \times 29) = 2830

So, slope =  15300

Intercept =  2830

So, equation : y = 2830+15300x

b) Your brother just graduated from that college with a GPA of 3.30. He tells you that based on this model the residual for his pay is -$1880. What salary is he earning?

y = 2830+15300 \times 3.3 = 53320

Observed salary = Residual + predicted = -1860+53320 = 51440

c)) What proportion of the variation in salaries is explained by variation in GPA?

The proportion of the variation in salaries is explained by variation in GPA = r^2 = (0.72)^2 =0.5184

Solve the systems of equations through elimination, show work<br> 3+2x-y=0<br> -3-7y=10x
Wittaler [7]

Answer: x=-1 y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

solve y in 3+2x-y=0

y=3+2x

sub y=3+2x into -3 -7y=10x

-14x- 24= 10x

solve x in -14x-24=10x

x= -1

sub x= -1 into y =3+2x

y=1

so therefore x= -1 and y=1

Select one:<br> a. 4<br> b.5<br> c. 6<br> d. 7
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 2 secants intersect a circle from a point outside the circle, then

The product of the external part and the entire part of one secant is equal to the product of the external part and the entire part of the other secant, that is

x(x + 10 + x) = 6(6 + 10 + x)

x(2x + 10) = 6(16 + x) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

2x² + 10x = 96 + 6x ← subtract 96 + 6x from both sides

2x² + 4x - 96 = 0 ← in standard form

Divide through by 2

x² + 2x - 48 = 0 ← factor the left side

(x + 8)(x - 6) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 8 = 0 ⇒ x = - 8

x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6

However x > 0 ⇒ x = 6 → C
