Automobile fuel efficiency is often measured in miles that the car can be driven per gallon of fuel (mpg). Heavier cars tend to

have lower fuel efficiencies (lower mpg ratings). Which variable (weight or fuel efficiency) is most naturally considered the explanatory (predictor) variable in this context? A. Weight B. Fuel efficiency

Answer:

Correct option: A. Weight.

Step-by-step explanation:

In regression analysis there are two kinds of variables: Explanatory and Response variable.

The explanatory variable are used to predict the changes in the response variable. They are also known as independent or predictor variable.

The response variable are observed for any changes caused by the explanatory variable. They are also known as the dependent or experimental variable.

In this case it is provided that heavier cars have lower fuel efficiencies.

It implies that there is linear inverse relationship between the variables weight of the car and fuel efficiency.

The response variable is the fuel efficiency and the explanatory variable is the weight of the car. Since the weight of the car is used to determine the fuel efficiency.

Thus, the explanatory variable is the weight of the car.

Find the area of the figure below
Serhud [2]
Easy

the easiest way is to imagine that you have a rectangle with a corner cut off
the area of the figure=area of rectangle-area cut off

area that was cut off was a triangle

area of rectangle=length times width
area of triangle=1/2base times height

so we draw imaginary lines like in attachment
find area of rectangle
legnth=9 inch
width=9 inch
area=9 times 9=81 in^2

triangle
the top part is ?+5=9, so the base of triangle=4
the side is ?+4=9, so the base is 5
area=1/2 times 4 times 5=10 in^2

area=rectangle-triangle
area=81-10=71 in^2
