Which sentence does not contain any errors in the use of italics or quotation marks?

Having in mind that the italics are popularly used to call attention to certain words in a block of text and that some of the rules for quotation are: Use double quotation marks to set off a direct (word-for-word) quotation and Always capitalize the first word in a complete quotation, even midsentence. then the correct one here is the B option. Hope this can help

An important assumption underlying inferences from a linear regression is that variance in the response variable is reasonably c

rewona [7]

Answer:

A. True

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear regression is "an analysis that assesses whether one or more predictor variables explain the dependent (criterion) variable. The regression has five key assumptions:

1) Linear relationship : We need to check if the dependnet variable present a linear relationshipThe linearity assumption can best be tested with scatter plots in order to check if we have outliers in the data.

2) Multivariate normality : "The linear regression analysis requires all variables to be multivariate normal". And we can check this with a histogram or a Q-Q-Plot, usually Normality can be checked with a goodness of fit test like the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test or Shapiro Wilks test.

3) No or little multicollinearity : "Multicollinearity occurs when the independent variables are too highly correlated with each other". And we can check this with a correlation matrix, variance inflation factor (VIF's), correlation index and other statistics.

4) No auto-correlation : The "Autocorrelation happens when the residuals are not independent from each other in the data". And usually we can test this with the Durbin-Watson test.

5) Homoscedasticity: MEans that we need constant variance for the linear model. The scatter plot is good way to check whether the data are homoscedastic. And we can interpret this condition as "that variance in the response variable is reasonably consistent across the range of an explanatory factor (otherwise known as homoscedasticity)"

So then the statement is TRUE.

Heyy pls help! worth 20 points, and please only help if you know the answer. also no links those r kinda annoying lol

iragen [17]

Step 1: Find the slope:

$m= \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}= \dfrac{-2-7}{4-(-2)} = \dfrac{-9}{6}= -\dfrac{3}{2}$

This gives you $y=-\dfrac{3}{2}x+b$ , but we need to find b.

To find b, substitute in one (x,y) pair and it doesn't matter which one. I'll go with (4,-2):

$\begin{aligned}-2&=-\dfrac{3}{2}(4)+b\\[0.5em]-2&=-6+b\\[0.5em]4&=b\end{aligned}$

Now take that b-value and plug in into the slope-intercept form:

$y=-\dfrac{3}{2}x+4$

It's always a good idea to toss in the other x-value from the other point, to make sure it checks out.

Given points A (1, 2/3), B (x, -4/5), and C (-1/2, 4) determine the value of x such that all three points are collinear

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

$x=\frac{83}{50}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If the three points are collinear

then

$m_A_B=m_A_C$

we have

A (1, 2/3), B (x, -4/5), and C (-1/2, 4)

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

step 1

Find the slope AB

we have

$A(1,\frac{2}{3}),B(x,-\frac{4}{5})$

substitute in the formula

$m_A_B=\frac{-\frac{4}{5}-\frac{2}{3}}{x-1}$

$m_A_B=\frac{\frac{-12-10}{15}}{x-1}$

$m_A_B=-\frac{22}{15(x-1)}$

step 2

Find the slope AC

we have

$A(1,\frac{2}{3}),C(-\frac{1}{2},4)$

substitute in the formula

$m_A_C=\frac{4-\frac{2}{3}}{-\frac{1}{2}-1}$

$m_A_C=\frac{\frac{10}{3}}{-\frac{3}{2}}$

$m_A_C=-\frac{20}{9}$

step 3

Equate the slopes

$m_A_B=m_A_C$

$-\frac{22}{15(x-1)}=-\frac{20}{9}$

solve for x

$15(x-1)20=22(9)$

$300x-300=198$

$300x=198+300$

$300x=498$

$x=\frac{498}{300}$

simplify

$x=\frac{83}{50}$

Avery has 2 blue marbles. One sixth of Avery's marble are blue. How many marbles does Avery have?

katrin [286]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation

2 = (1/6)x represents this situation.

2 is 1/6 of some value. In this case, the value is the total number of marbles. 2 represents 1/6 of the total number of marbles is how to read that equation in context. Solve that equation for x

2 = (1/6)x

12 = x (multiply both sides by 6 to get rid of the fraction)
