Imagine a regression line that relates y = average systolic blood pressure to x = age. The average blood pressure for people 40

years old is 110, while for those 50 years old the average is 130. (a) What is the slope of the regression line? (Round the answer to one decimal place.)

4 0

Answer:

2.0

Step-by-step explanation:

x = age

y = average systolic blood pressure

x₁ = 40 years old, y₁ = 110 systolic blood pressure

x₂ = 50 years old, y₂ = 130 systolic blood pressure

\text{Slope of a line}=m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\Rightarrow m= \frac{130-110}{50-40}\\\Rightarrow\frac{20}{10}\\\Rightarrow m= 2.0

∴ Slope of the regression line is 2.0

What is 2.8 as a fraction in simplest form
irina1246 [14]
2.8 = 2 + 0.8

*let's analyze the decimal 0.8 as a fraction

0.8 = 8/10

*but if we divide the numerator and denominator by the same common factor of 2, we find that the fraction can be reduced to:

(8/2)/(10/2) = (4)/(5) = 4/5

*now evaluating the whole value of 2 (from the 2.8), we know there are a total of (5) - fifths in order to make a whole, so for 2 whole, we require:

2*(5/5) = (2*5)/5 = 10/5

*Now we add the fractions together:

2 = 10/5
0.8 = 4/5

10/5 + 4/5

*add numerators only, the denominator stays as a 5

(10 + 4)/5 = 14/5

*there are no common factors between 14 & 5 (other than 1, but that won't help reduce the fraction any), so the fraction is in it's simplest form:

answer is: 14/5

A line passes through the point (4, -6) and has a slope of 3/2 . Write an equation in slope-intercept form for this line.
tatyana61 [14]

A slope intercept form: y = mx + b where m = slope and b = y -intercept

A slope of 3/2 is given

So y = 3/2 x + b

To find b:

b = y - mx

A line passes through the point (4, -6)

b = -6 - (3/2)(4)

b = -6 - 6

b = - 12

Answer

Equation in  slope intercept form:  y = 3/2 x - 12

Tyler selects one card from the three(4,5, and a King), and rolls a number cube. What is the probability that she selects the 5,
Svet_ta [14]

\frac{1}{3}Answer:

2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

given that Tyler selects one card from the three(4,5, and a King), and rolls a number cube.

We find that A the event of selecting one card and B getting a number on rolling a number cube are independent events.

No of cards = 3

Prob of selecting 5 from 3 cards = P(1,2,3, or 4) = \frac{2}{3}

When rolling a number cube (assuming fair) there is equally likely for all numbers to appear from 1 to 6

Prob of getting 5 =\frac{1}{6}

Prob of getting less than 5 =

Since these two events are independent,

the probability that she selects the 5, and rolls a number less than 5

= Product of probabilities

= \frac{1}{3}*\frac{2}{3}

=\frac{2}{9}

chad buys peanut in 2-pound bags.He repackages them into bags that hold 5/6 pound of peanuts.How many 2-pound bags of peanuts sh
Nataliya [291]
First, let's find out how many 5/6 pound bags he can fill with on 2 pound bag.

2 divided by 5/6
2 x 6/5
2.4

He can fill 2.4 bags with one 2 bag.
Now we just need to multiply 2.4 by a number that will make it a whole number. You can use the guess and check method starting with 2 to figure your answer out, but 2.4 x 5 = 12 which is a whole number.

This means that Chad needs to buy 5 of the 2 pound bags to fill 12 of the 5/6 pound bags, and he will not have peanuts leftover
