Answer:

b. y = 15.3 x - 25.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, x represents the number of years after 1972,

Thus, the table of variables will be,

x         0                   2                    4                   6                    8

y        -28                8                    39                 62                 98        

By the above table,

We have,

\sum x = 20

\sum y = 179

\sum x^2=120

\sum xy = 1328

Since, the linear regression equation is,

y = b + ax

Where,

b=\frac{n(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{n(\sum x^2)-(\sum x)^2}

a=\frac{(\sum y) (\sum x^2)-(\sum x)(\sum xy)}{n(\sum x^2)-(\sum x)^2}

By substituting the values,

We get, b = -25.4 and a = 15.3

Thus, the required linear regression equation is,

y = 15.3 x - 25.4

⇒ Option b is correct.

Suppose customers in a certain queue are served one at a time sequentially, that the time for each individual customer is Expone
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

The shape and rate parameters are \frac{1}{12} and 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = service time for each individual.

The average service time is, <em>β</em> = 12 minutes.

The random variable follows an Exponential distribution with parameter, \lambda=\frac{1}{\beta}=\frac{1}{12}.

The service time for the next 3 customers is,

<em>Z</em> = <em>X</em>₁ + <em>X</em>₂ + <em>X</em>₃

All the <em>X</em>_{i}'s are independent Exponential random variable.

The sum of independent Exponential random variables is known as a Gamma or Erlang random variable.

The random variable <em>Z</em> follows a Gamma distribution with parameters (<em>α</em>, <em>n</em>).

The parameters are:

\alpha =\lambda=\frac{1}{12}\\n=3

Thus, the shape and rate parameters are \frac{1}{12} and 3.

Determine dois números ímpares consecutivo cujo produto seja 195
miv72 [106K]
Let 1st integer  = xLet 2nd integer = x + 1 We set up an equation. x(x + 1) = 195 x2 + x = 195 x2 + x - 195 = 0

We will use the quadratic formula: x = (-b ± √(b2 - 4ac) / (2a) x = (-1 ± √(1 - 4(-195))) / 2 x = (-1 ± √(781)) / 2 x = (-1 ± 27.95) / 2 x = 13.48x = -14.78 
<span>We determine which value of x when substituted gives us a product of 195.</span> 13.48(14.48) = 195.19-14.48(-13.48) = 195.19 <span>The solution is 2 sets of two consecutive number</span> <span>Set 1</span> The 1st consecutive integer is 13.48The 2nd consecutive integer is 14.48 
<span>Set 2</span> The 1st consecutive integer is -14.48The 2nd consecutive integer is -13.48Hopefully this helped, hard work lol :)
