Experience with a certain type of plastic indicates that a relation exists between the hardness (measured in Brinell units) of i

tems molded from the plastic (Y) and the elapsed time since ter- mination of the molding process (X). It is proposed to study this relation by means of regression analysis. A participant in the discussion objects, pointing out that the hardening of the plastic "is the result of a natural chemical process that doesn't leave anything to chance, so the relation must be mathematical and regression analysis is not appropriate." Evaluate this objection.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The regression analysis is a mathematical measure of the average relationship between two or more variable in terms of the original units of data.

Liner regression: If the regression curve is a straight line then there is a linear regression between the variables.

Non-linear regression: If the regression curve is not a straight line then there is a non-linear regression between the variables.

The correct answer is: a specific mathematical model my not be appropriate in this case.

The argument is the results of natural chemical process that doesn’t leave anything to chance, so the relation must be mathematical and regression analysis is not appropriate.

From the available information, the relation exists between the hardness of items moulded from the plastic \left( y \right) and the elapsed time \left( x \right).

The argument is the results of natural chemical process that doesn’t leave anything to chance, so the relation must be mathematical and regression analysis is not appropriate.

The hardness of items moulded by plastic is dependent on so many other variables, such as material quality (impurities in the plastic), which in turn may change the relation between x{\rm{ and }}.

Also there can be chance of wrong measurement (not purely chance cause). So obviously, there are many effects which are affecting the relation between the variables. So, a specific mathematical model my not be appropriate in this case.

vivado [14]
Percemt means parts out of 100
75%=75/100=15/20=3/4

turned in 6
if she turned in 3/4 of total assignments due then how many total?
6=3/4 times total
multily both sides by 4/3 to clear fraction
24/3=total
8=total
answer is 8 homeworks were assigned

Adam had silly putty 4 5/6 inches long. If he stretched it 2 2/3 times it's current length how long would it be?
Nikitich [7]
You multiply the 2 together 4 5/6 and 2 2/3. 
4 5/6=29/6
2 2/3=8/3 
you multiply the tops together then the bottoms together
29*8=232
3*6=18
232/18=116/9

The function A=A_oe^{-0.01155x} A = A o e − 0.01155 x models the amount in pounds of a particular radioactive material stored in
vivado [14]

They are essentially asking us to solve:

357=900e^{-0.01155x} \implies\\ \frac{357}{900}=e^{-0.01155x} \implies\\ \ln{\frac{357}{900}}=-0.01155x \implies \\ x\approx 80.1

Solving this equation for x tells us that it will take around 80.1 years for the materials in the vault to reduce to 357 pounds.

Simplify this number 300mm:9m​
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

1 : 30

Step-by-step explanation:

300mm:9m​

We need to change the meters to mm

1 meter is 1000 mm

so 9 m is 9000 mm

300mm:9000mm

Divide both sides by 300

​300mm/300 : 9000/300

1 : 30
