Modern medical practice tells us not to encourage babies to become too fat. Is there a positive correlation between the weight x

of a 1-year old baby and the weight y of the mature adult (30 years old)? A random sample of medical files produced the following information for 14 females. x (lb) 23 23 21 26 20 15 25 21 17 24 26 22 18 19 y (lb) 127 122 119 125 130 120 145 130 130 130 130 140 110 115 In this setting we have Σx = 300, Σy = 1773, Σx2 = 6576, Σy2 = 225,649, and Σxy = 38,186.

Answer:

a) Figure attached

b) y=1.31 x +98.57

c) The correlation coefficient would be r =0.47719

d) y=1.31 x +98.57=1.31*21 + 98.57 =126.08

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Draw a scatter diagram for the data.

See the figure attached

(b) Find x, y, b, and the equation of the least-squares line. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) x =__ y =__ b =__ y =__ + __x

m=\frac{S_{xy}}{S_{xx}}

Where:

S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}

S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}

With these we can find the sums:

S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}=6576-\frac{300^2}{14}=147.429

S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i){n}}=38186-\frac{300*1773}{14}=193.143

And the slope would be:

m=\frac{193.143}{147.429}=1.31

Nowe we can find the means for x and y like this:

\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{300}{14}=21.429

\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{1773}{14}=126.643

And we can find the intercept using this:

b=\bar y -m \bar x=126.643-(1.31*21.429)=98.571

So the line would be given by:

y=1.31 x +98.57

(c) Find the sample correlation coefficient r and the coefficient of determination r?2. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

n=14 \sum x = 300, \sum y = 1773, \sum xy=38186, \sum x^2 =6576, \sum y^2 =225649  

And in order to calculate the correlation coefficient we can use this formula:

r=\frac{n(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2 -(\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2 -(\sum y)^2]}}

r=\frac{14(38186)-(300)(1773)}{\sqrt{[14(6576) -(300)^2][14(225649) -(1773)^2]}}=0.9534

So then the correlation coefficient would be r =0.47719

What percentage of variation in y is explained by the least-squares model? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

The % of variation is given by the determination coefficient given by r^2 and on this case 0.47719^2 =0.2277, so then the % of variation explaines is 22.8%.

(d) If a female baby weighs 21 pounds at 1 year, what do you predict she will weigh at 30 years of age? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) ___ lb

So we can replace in the linear model like this:

y=1.31 x +98.57=1.31*21 + 98.57 =126.08

2. The sum of three consecutive integers is 48. What are the three integers?
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer: 15, 16, 17

Step-by-step explanation: you have to divide 48 by 3 when you do this then you get the center number in this case 16 so all you have to do now is add the lower number (15) and the higher number (17) and add and they will equal 48

Suppose you are asked to find the area of a rectangle that is 2.1-cm wide by 5.6-cm long. Your calculator answer would be 11.76
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

12 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of rectangle = 5.6 cm

Width of rectangle = 2.1 cm

Area of rectangle = Length of rectangle×Width of rectangle

⇒Area of rectangle = 5.6×2.1

⇒Area of rectangle = 11.76 cm²

11.76 has 4 significant figures in order to write this term in 2 significant terms we round of the term

The last digit in the decimal place is 6. Now, 6≥5 so we round the next digit to 8 we get

11.8

Now the last digit in the decimal place is 8. Now, 8≥5 so we round the next digit to 2 we get

12

∴ Hence the area of the rectangle when rounded to 2 significant figures is 12 cm²

remove unnecessary parenthesis

3x+4+(5x2-1)+(2x+6)

3x+4+(10-1)+2x+6

subtract the numbers

3x+4+9+2x+6

collect the like terms

Sharonda is plotting quadrilateral PQRS on the graph below. She will plot the fourth and
lana [24]

Answer:

11 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of side PS can be calculated using the distance formula, d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}

Where,

P(-2, 5) = (x_1, y_1) (the coordinate of P is gotten from the graph)

S(9, 5) = (x_2, y_2) (given)

PS = \sqrt{(9 - (-2))^2 + (5 - 5)^2}

PS = \sqrt{(11)^2 + (0)^2}

PS = \sqrt{121} = 11 units

How do I construct a sample data set for which n=7, x=9(x bar), and s=0?
JulijaS [17]
When the standard deviation = 0, there is no deviation at all. So the numbers are all the same. And there are seven of them. And the average is nine. 
So the sample data set would just be seven 9s.
