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

The mass of an ant is 1/10 of the load, which it can carry in one try. What is the mass of the ant, if in one time it can carry
Viefleur [7K]

If you call m the mass of the ant and l the load, we have the equation

m = \cfrac{l}{10}

In fact, the mass of the ant is one tenth of the load, which is exactly what this equation states.

Since we are given the load, we simply need to plug its value in the equation to deduce the mass of the ant:

m = \cfrac{\frac{7}{250}}{10} = \cfrac{7}{250}\cdot\cfrac{1}{10} = \cfrac{7}{2500}

What is the value of x
Anika [276]

We know that the right triangle has one 90 degree angle and two acute (< 90 degree) angles. Since the sum of the angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees.

<u>To find x:</u>

(10x - 20) + (6x + 8) =  180

16x - 12 = 180

      +12     +12

16x = 192

-----    -----

16        16

x = 12

<u>Check:</u>

(10(12) - 20) + (6(12) + 8) = 180

(120 -  20) + (72 + 8) = 180

100 + 80 = 180

180 = 180

<u>Angle (10x - 20):</u>

(10(12) - 20)

(120 - 20)

100

<u>Angle (6x + 8):</u>

(6(12) + 8)

(72 + 8)

80
