Let x be the size of a house (sq ft) and y be the amount of natural gas used (therms) during a specified period. Suppose that fo

r a particular community, x and y are related according to the simple linear regression model with the following values.
ß = slope of population regression line = 0.019
a = y intercept of population regression line = -7
(a) What is the equation of the population regression line?
y = 1
b) What is the mean value of gas usage for houses with 2100 sq ft of space?
(c) What is the average change in usage associated with a 1 square foot increase in size?
(d) What is the average change in usage associated with a 100 square feet increase in size?

Answer:

y = 0.019x - 7

32.9 therms

0.019 therms

1.9 therms

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

X =size of house (sq ft)

Y = Amount of natural gas used

The general form of a some linear regression model :

y = ßx + a

Where ;

ß = slope or gradient

x = independent variable

y = predicted value

a = y- intercept value

(A)

If ß = slope of population regression line = 0.019

a = y intercept of population regression line = -7

The regression model could be expressed as :

y = 0.019x + (-7)

y = 0.019x - 7

(B)What is the mean value of gas usage for houses with 2100 sq ft of space?

Here x = 2100 sq ft ; Inputting the value of x into the regression equation:

y = 0.019x - 7

y = 0.019(2100) - 7

y = 39.9 - 7

y = 32.9 therms

C) What is the average change in usage associated with a 1 square foot increase in size?

Change in usage associated with change in size can be gotten from :

ßx, where, ß change in y with respect to x ;

x = 1 square foot

ß = 0.019

Change = 0.019*(1) = 0.019 therms

(d) What is the average change in usage associated with a 100 square feet increase in size?

ßx, where, ß change in y with respect to x ;

x = 100 square feet

ß = 0.019

Change = 0.019*(100) = 1.9 therms

kotykmax [81]
The diagram of the three angles is shown below with point U as the point where all three lines meet.

Angles property: Angles around a point add up to 360°

We set up an equation

175+17x-3+17x+8=360
180+34x=360
34x=360-180
34x=180
x= \frac{180}{34}= \frac{90}{17}

At barlow school 4/9 of the 873 students are boys at willow school 2/3 of the 630 students are girls which school has the greate
marishachu [46]

Answer:

There are 178 more boys in Barlow school as compared to Willow school.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Barlow school:

Total number of students = 873

Number of boys =

=\dfrac{4}{9}\times 873 = 388

Willow school:

Total number of students = 630

Number of girls =

=\dfrac{2}{3}\times 630 = 420

Number of boys =

Total number of students - total number of girls

=630-420 = 210

Thus, Barlow school has greater number of boys than Willow school.

Difference between the number of boys =

=388-210\\=178

Thus, there are 178 more boys in Barlow school as compared to Willow school.
