25.3%

you have to do 4.06-3.24

then do that number divided by the original number then times by 100

If a group of independent variables are not significant individually but are significant as a group at a specified level of sign

ycow [4]

Answer:

D) collinearity

Step-by-step explanation:

Collinearity occurs when a few of the independent variables are related or match up. Collinearity increases the large proportion the variance of an estimated regression coefficient which leads to certain regression coefficient having wrong signs. It is used to explain the relationship between two variables.

A rectangular plot of farmland will be bounded on one side by a river and on the other three sides by a single-strand electric

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

525 x 1,050

A = 551,250 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'L' be the length parallel to the river and 'S' be the length of each of the other two sides.

The length of the three sides is given by:

$2S+L=2,100\\ L=2100-2S$

The area of the rectangular plot is given by:

$A=S*L\\A=S(2100-2S)\\A=2100 S -2S^2$

The value of 'S' for which the area's derivate is zero, yields the maximum total area:

$\frac{dA(S)}{dS}=\frac{d(2100 S -2S^2)}{dS}\\0= 2100 - 4S\\S=525$

Solving for 'L':

$L=2100-(2*525)\\L=1,050$

The largest area enclosed is given by dimension of 525 m x 1,050 and is:

$A = 525*1,025\\A=551,250\ m^2$

Kayla spent half of her weekly allowance on clothes. To earn more money her parents let her clean the oven for $4. What is her w

marysya [2.9K]

In this question, the first information that we get is that Kayla spent half of her weekly allowance in clothes. On cleaning the oven Kayla gets $4. Finally Kayla is left with $12.
Let us assume that the weekly allowance of Kayla = x
Amount of allowance saved after buying clothes = x/2
Then we can go for the equation
x/2 + 4 = 12
x + (4 * 2) = 12 * 2
x + 8 = 24
x = 24 -8
= 16
So we can now see that the weekly allowance of Kayla is $16

1. (a). A police car, approaching right-angled intersection from the north, is chasing a speedmg

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

<em>The SUV is running at 70 km/h</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Speed As Rate Of Change </u>

The speed can be understood as the rate of change of the distance in time. When the distance increases with time, the speed is positive and vice-versa. The instantaneous rate of change of the distance allows us to find the speed as a function of time.

This is the situation. A police car is 0.6 Km above the intersection and is approaching it at 60 km/h. Since the distance is decreasing, this speed is negative. On the other side, the SUV is 0.8 km east of intersection running from the police. The distance is increasing, so the speed should be positive. The distance traveled by the police car (y) and the distance traveled by the SUV (x) form a right triangle whose hypotenuse is the distance between them (d). We have:

$d=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$

To find the instant speeds, we need to compute the derivative of d respect to the time (t). Since d,x, and y depend on time, we apply the chain rule as follows:

$\displaystyle d\ '=\frac{x.x'+y.y'}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}$
