, two points per dollar spent at hotels, and one point per dollar spent on all other purchases. Last year, he charged a total of $9,480 and earned 14,660 points.

Points are earned as:

  • 4 points per $ spent on flights
  • 2 points per $ spent at hotels
  • 1 point per $ spent on all other purchases

Total money spent on credit card last year = $9,480

Total points earned through credit card last year = 14,660 points

Money spent on flight = 140 + 2 × Money spent on hotels

Let money spent on flights be 'a', money spent on hotels be 'b' and money spent on other things be 'c'

⇒ Total money spent on credit card last year = a + b + c = 9,480 ........ (i)

And, Total points earned through credit card last year = 4×a + 2×b + c = 14,660 ........... (ii)

Also, a = 140 + 2×b ............. (iii)

Substitute (iii) in (i) and (ii)

(i): 140 + 2b + b + c = 9,480

⇒ 140 + 3b + c = 9,480

⇒ 3b + c = 9,340 .......... (iv)

(ii): 4×(140 + 2b) + 2b + c = 14,660

⇒ 560 + 8b + 2b + c = 14,660

⇒ 10b + c = 14,100 ....... (v)

Subtracting (iv) from (v)

7b = 4,760

⇒ b = 680

Substituting value of b in (iii)

a = 140 + 2×680

⇒ a = 1,500

Substituting value of 'a' and 'b' in (i)

1,500 + 680 + c = 9,480

⇒ c = 7,300

Hence, Caleb spent $680 on flights, $1,500 on hotels and $7,300 on other purchases

The fitted regression is Sales = 832 − 28.2 Price. (a-1) If Price = 1, what is the prediction for Sales? (Round your answer to 1
almond37 [142]

Answer:

Part (a-1): The prediction for Sales is 803.8.

Part (a-2): The correct option is: An increase in price decreases sales.

Part (B): The prediction for sales is 211.66

Part (C): The intercept is meaningful as sales will be maximized when price is zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided regression:

Sales = 832 − 28.2 Price

(a-1) If Price = 1, what is the prediction for Sales?

Substitute Price = 1 in above regression.

Sales = 832 − 28.2 (1) = 803.8

Hence, the prediction for Sales is 803.8.

Sales (a-2) Choose the correct statement.

Here we can observe that as we increase the price, sales decrease.

Thus, the correct option is: An increase in price decreases sales.

(b) If Price = 22, what is the prediction for Sales?

Substitute Price = 22 in above regression.

Sales = 832 − 28.2 (22)

Sales = 832 − 620.4

Sales = 211.66

Hence, the prediction for sales is 211.66

Sales (c) Choose the right option.

As we increase the price, sales decrease that means the sales will be maximum if the price is 0.

The intercept is meaningful as sales will be maximized when price is zero.

The royals softball team played 75 games and won 55 of them. What percent of the games did they lose (round to the nearest hundr
dimaraw [331]
If they won 55 of the games, that means they lost the rest of the 75.  So,
75 - 55 = 20 games lost.  To find the percentage of 20 out of 75, you set up a proportion:

\frac{20}{75}=\frac{x}{100}

where x = the percentage of games lost.  Cross multiply and divide to isolate the x:

\frac{20}{75}=\frac{x}{100}\\75x=2000\\75x/75=2000/75\\x=26.6666667

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the Royals lost 26.667 % of their games.
