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

Will give brainliest Please help!!
Julli [10]

Answer:

20% or .20

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 10 cards in the sample.

Of these 10 cards there are 2 of them with the number 8 on them.

To find the probability, you divide the part (2) over the whole (10)

2/10 = .20

Then you can multiply by 100 to find the percent

(.20)(100) = 20%

Therefore, if the teacher were to select a card at random there is a 20% chance that it has the number 8 on it.

<em>I hope this helps!</em>
