Answer:

The model does not fits the data well.      

Step-by-step explanation:

Correlation:

  • Correlation is a technique that help us to find or define a relationship between two variables.
  • It is a measure of linear relationship between two quantities.
  • A positive correlation means that an increase in one quantity leads to an increase in another quantity
  • A negative correlation means with increase in one quantity the other quantity decreases.

R-square, R^2

  • The quantity R-squared is an indicator of the predictive power of a model.
  • It explains the variation in the dependent variable due to independent variable.
  • It shows how well the model fits the data.
  • R-squared is also known as the  coefficient of determination.

R^2 = \text{(Correlation coefficient)}^2= (0.6)^2 = 0.36 = 36\%

Therefore, only 36% of the variations in the dependent variable is explained by the independent variable in the model which means more than 50% of variation cannot still be explained in the dependent variable.

Hence, the model does not fits the data well.

The area of a rectangle is 27 m^2 , and the length of the rectangle is 3 m less than twice the width. Find the dimensions of the
vagabundo [1.1K]
Let L be the length of the rectangle and W be the width. In the problem it is given that L=2W-3. It is also given that the area LW=27. Substituting in the length in terms of width, we have W(2W-3)=27 \\ 2W^2-3W-27=0 \\ (2W-9)(W+3)=0. Using the zero product property, 2W-9=0 \text{ or } W+3=0. Solving these we get the width W=4.5 \text{ or } -3. However, it doesn't make sense for the width to be negative, so the width must be \boxed{4.5 \text{ m}}. From that we can tell the length L=2(4.5)-3=\boxed{6 \text{ m}}.

last week, ezra's sold 1/3 of tangerines and Anthony sold 3/4 of tangerines as ezra's did. how many boxes of tangerines did Anth
Bond [772]

Answer:

¼ box

Step-by-step explanation:

Ezra sold ⅓ box of tangerines.

Anthony sold ¾ as many as Ezra               = ¾ × ⅓ box

Cancel the 3s                                               = ¼ × ¹/₁ box

Multiply numerators and denominators     = ¼ box

Anthony sold ¼ box of tangerines.

The ratio of change in angular position to change in time is defined as the angular velocity. Thus, the slope of an angular position versus time graph gives the angular velocity of the <span>object being graphed.
The rank of the given graphs can be written as follow,positive graphs are listed first.
The line B is the line with the greater positive slope.
</span><span>The line B is the line with  positive slope but is less than the slope of line B.
</span><span>The lines A,t ,and F are the lines with the zero slope.
</span>The lines D and E are parallel to each other and have same negative slope.<span />
