The mean height of American women in their twenties is about 64 inches, and the standard deviation is about 2.7 inches. The mean

height of men the same age is about 69.3 inches, with standard deviation about 2.8 inches. If the correlation between the heights of husbands and wives is about r = 0.5, what is the slope of the regression line used to predict the husband's height (Y) from the wife's height (X) in young couples?

Answer:

slope= 0.52

Step-by-step explanation:

For American women

Mean (x) = 64 inches

Standard deviation (sx) = 2.7 inches

For American Men

Mean(ÿ) = 69.3 inches

Standard deviation (sy) = 2.8 inches

r = 0.5

Slope = ??

Husband height = Y

Wife height = X

the general equation of regression line

y = a + bx

The slope of the regression line is the linear correlation coefficient multiplied by the standard deviation for Y

b = r (sy/sx)

b = 0.5(2.8/2.7)

b = 0.52

The intercept a = ÿ - bx

a = 69.3 - 0.52(64)

a = 69.3 - 33.28

a = 36.02

The equation of the regression line y = a + bx

y = 36.02 + 0.52x

Write the equation of the line that passes through (2, 3) and is parallel to the line 12x – 5y = 2.
zheka24 [161]
The first thing I'd do is put this equation into standard slope - intercept form. 

12x - 5y = 2               Subtract 12x from each side
-5y = -12x + 2            Divide each side by -5 to isolate the <em>y 
</em><em />y = 12/5(x) - 2/5    
     
 The slope for this equation is 12/5, so we just take that and plug it into the slope - intercept equation with the given points (2, 3)

y = mx + b                    Fill in the variables
3 = 12/5(2) + b             Simplify
3 = 24/5 + b                 Subtract 24/5 (or 4 4/5) from each side
-9/5 = b

Now we just fill in the correct variables (m and b) in the equation to have our final answer. 

y = 12/5x - 9/5

Your Numbers are; 25, 75, 50, 1, 9, 3 and your Target is 386 How do i get to 386 using only these numbers once and I can use Sub
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

You must order the operations  in the way that it unfolds in the explanation;:

Step-by-step explanation:

(25 x 9) +75 + 50+ 9 x ( 3 + 1)

When performing the operations we have the following results:

(25 x 9) =225 +75= 300+50 = 350+9 = 359 x (3+1 )

Now we must solve the following: 359 x (4) = 386
