Answer:
The equation for regression line and predicting a husband's height for married couples in their early 20s
Equation: Y'=33.67+0.54*X'
Step-by-step explanation:
r=0.5
x'=64.5
Sx=2.5
y'=68.5
Sy=2.7
General regression line equation is:
Y'=a+b*X'
so the slope of the regression line is the linear correlation coefficient multiplied by the standard deviation for y' divided by the standard deviation for x'
![b=r*\frac{S_{y}}{S_{x}}\\b=0.5*\frac{2.7}{2.5}\\b=0.54](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=b%3Dr%2A%5Cfrac%7BS_%7By%7D%7D%7BS_%7Bx%7D%7D%5C%5Cb%3D0.5%2A%5Cfrac%7B2.7%7D%7B2.5%7D%5C%5Cb%3D0.54)
The intercept with axis y is the mean of the decreased by the product of the slope and the mean of x
![a=y'-b*x'\\a=68.5-0.54*64.5\\a=33.67](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=a%3Dy%27-b%2Ax%27%5C%5Ca%3D68.5-0.54%2A64.5%5C%5Ca%3D33.67)
The equation regression line then is:
Y'=33.67+0.54*X'
So, I didn't quite understand your question clearly, but I'll try my best to answer it.
So, the first question is quite simple: Did the runner have a % decrease in his time or an increase.
Well, 7:45 is minor than 5:51. So, his time decreased.
2nd question:
The percent of change. Well, first things first 7:45 has 2 different units, wich are minutes and seconds, I suppose. Same goes for 5:51.
So let's put everything in seconds. multiply both the 7 and 5 for 60(for every minute has 60 seconds.)
That means:
7*60= 420+45 = 465.
5*60=300+51=351.
Now, let's do the math itself:
465 -> 100%
351 -> x%
Is equal to about 75,5%
How much did it decrease then?
(75,5-100)%= 24,5%, approximately
This is the concept of algebra, we are required to get the equation that would be a constraint in the system of equation,
The total amount that the farmer want to make is $7000
amount he can make per acre of land is $2000, the amount he can make per acre will $1000. The variable representing peas and carrots are p and c retrospectively;
The total amount made from this can be represented by the equation below;
Total amount made by p acres of peas will be:
2000*p=$ 2000p
Total amount made by c acres of carrots:
1000*c=$1000c
Total amount will be given by:
2000p+1000c=7000
this can be simplified by dividing through by 1000 to get:
p+c=7
The correct answer is C.
