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

Karla is given the equation 10x + 15 = 20 to solve. She says the solution is 1 2 . Which reason justifies her solution? *A) Karl
Sav [38]
C. Karla says that to solve the equation you first subtract 15 and then divide by 10.

Karla is given the equation 10x + 15 = 20 to solve. She says the solution is 1/2

10x + 15 = 20
10x = 20 - 15 (subtract 5)
10x = 5 (divide by 10)
x = 5/10 = 1/2

Jeanette purchased a concert ticket on a web site.The original price of the ticket was $75.She used a coupon code to receive a 2
Mandarinka [93]
STEP 1:
Find discounted price.
Discounted $= original $ - (original $ * % discount)

Discounted $= $75 - ($75 * 20%)
Discounted $= 75 - 15
Discounted $= $60


STEP 2:
Find discounted $ plus service fee.
Price plus fee= discounted $ + (discounted $ * service fee %)

Price plus fee= $60 + ($60 * 10%)
Price plus fee= 60 + 6
Price plus fee= $66


STEP 3:
Find % change.
% change formula= (new # - original #) ÷ original # x 100

% change= (66-75)÷ 75 x 100
% change= -9 ÷ 75 x 100
% change= -0.12 x 100
% change= -12%

***the negative indicates a decrease


ANSWER: Her ticket was less than the original by 12%.

Hope this helps! :)
