Answer:
B) The sum of the squared residuals
Step-by-step explanation:
Least Square Regression Line is drawn through a bivariate data(Data in two variables) plotted on a graph to explain the relation between the explanatory variable(x) and the response variable(y).
Not all the points will lie on the Least Square Regression Line in all cases. Some points will be above line and some points will be below the line. The vertical distance between the points and the line is known as residual. Since, some points are above the line and some are below, the sum of residuals is always zero for a Least Square Regression Line.
Since, we want to minimize the overall error(residual) so that our line is as close to the points as possible, considering the sum of residuals wont be helpful as it will always be zero. So we square the residuals first and them sum them. This always gives a positive value. The Least Square Regression Line minimizes this sum of residuals and the result is a line of Best Fit for the bivariate data.
Therefore, option B gives the correct answer.
X=area of Sahara.
y=area of the Gobi Desert.
We suggest this system equations:
x+y=4000000
x=7y
solve by susbstitution method.
(7y)+y=4,000,000
8y=4,000,000
y=4,000,000 / 8=500,000
x=7y
x=7(500,000)=3,500,000
The area of Sahara=3,500,00 miles².
The area of the Gobi Desert=500,000 miles²
To check:
Te sum of their areas is : 3,500,000 miles²+500,000 miles²=4,000,000 miles²
Te area of sahara (3,500,000 miles²) is 7 times the area of the Gobi Desert (7*500,000 miles²=3,500,000 miles²).
The answer to the question is 193
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
step a system of two equations c = child ticket a = adult ticket
eq 1) 2c + 1a = 8.2 multiply by 2
eq 2) 3c + 2a = 14.1
I will multiply eq 1 times TWO and subtract eq 2 from eq 1a)
eq 1a) 4c + 2a = 16.4
eq 2) 3c + 2a = 14.1
subtract (4c - 3c) + (2a -2a) = 16.4 - 14.1
c + 0 = 2.3 euros for one child ticket
Now find the adult ticket price, plug 2.3 for c into eq 1)
eq 1) 2c + 1a = 8.2
eq 1) 2(2.3) + 1a = 8.2 solve for a
4.6 + a = 8.2 substract 4.6 from both sides
a = 8.2 - 4.6
= 3.6 euros for one adult ticket
double check using eq 2) we know c and a values
eq 2) 3c + 2a = 14.1
eq 2) 3(2.3) + 2(3.6) = 14.1
6.9 + 7.2 = 14.1
14.1 = 14.1
Answer:
y = 40 / x^1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
y α x^1/3
y = k * 1 / x^1/3
y = k / x^1/3
When x = 125 ; y = 8
8 = k / 125^1/3
Cube root of 125 = 5
8 = k / 5
8 * 5 = k ; k = 40
Hence, expression becomes :
y = 40 / x^1/3
