simon says that to find the area of a trapezoid, you can multiply the height by the top base and the height by the bottom base.

Then add the two products together and divide the sun by 2. Is Simon correct? Explain your answer.

He is correct
basically you have
h times base1+h times bsae 2 all divided by 2
that equals
(hb1+hb2)/2
if we undistribute h using distributive property which is ab+ac=a(b+c)
(h)(b1+b2)/2

if you split the trapezoid in half with a horizontal line that passes through the halfway point of the height and take those two shapes and put them side by side and cut the triangles off the ends and add them, you will see why this is true

the reason is becuase you can get to the area formula from that is height times (b1+b2)/2

Asphere has a radius of 27 inches. A horizontal plane passes through the center of the sphere.
Westkost [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  circle of radius 27 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Anywhere a plane cuts a sphere, the cross section is a circle. When the plane includes the center of the sphere, the circle has the same radius the sphere has.

The cross section is a circle of radius 27 inches.

Modern medical practice tells us not to encourage babies to become too fat. Is there a positive correlation between the weight x
Anna11 [10]

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
