Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The objective is to determine if there is a linear association between the price of a mountain bike (Y) and it's the weight (X).

a.

Looking at the Scatterplot the data is dispersed in all quadrants of the graph, at first glance there seems to be some kind of functional relationship between the price and weight of mountain bike bicycles. If you are not too strict maybe there could be a slight negative relationship between them.

b.

The linear regression model is E(Yi)= α + βXi

To find the regression model for this particular set of variables you have to estimate the intercept and the slope.

a= Y[bar] - bX[bar] = 1961.40 $

b= \frac{sum XiYi-\frac{(sumXi)(sumYi)}{n} }{sumXi^2-\frac{(sumXi)^2}{n} } = -42.99 $/LB

^Yi= 1961.40 - 42.99Xi

$ 1961.40 is the estimated value of the average price if the weight of the mountain bike is zero. (It has no contextual sense)

-42.99 $/LB is the modification of the estimated average price every time the weight of the mountain bike.

c.

In this item, you need yo obtain a value of price for a given value of weight. To do so all you have to do is replace the value on the estimated regression model:

^Y/X=3232= 1961.40 - 42.99*32= $585.72

I hope it helps!

∠QPS is a right angle and m∠QPR = 71°, what is m∠RPS?
natta225 [31]

Answer: <RPS = 161

Step-by-step explanation:

P is the common vertex in all of these angles. From this we know that these have to be adjacent angles (<QPR and <QPS) that equal the whole angle (<RPS)

<QPR+<QPS= <RPS

71+90= 161

(<QPS is a right angle. Right angles are equal to 90 degrees.)

The sum of 3 consecutive odd numbers is 177. What is the value of the smallest number in the sequence
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Ok this is a very question that can solved very easily. So we know that there three numbers, and they are consecutive, this means that they are all one bigger than the number before so for example 1,2, and 3 or 20, 21, and 22. These numbers are called consecutive. Now let's just pretend that the answer to this question is the variable "x". Now x is the smallest number in all the three numbers.

Using our knowledge of consecutive numbers we can say that the next to numbers will be one more than the number before so:

(x+1) and (x+2)

So we have our three numbers: x , x+1 , and x+2. Now let's set these numbers equal to 177.

177 = x + x + 1 + x + 2 → Combine like terms.

177 = 3x + 3 → Subtract 3 from both sides.

174 = 3x → Divide both sides by 3

58 = x

So that means that our first and smallest number is going to be 58 our second number will be +1 so 59 and our third number will be +2 so 60.

So the three numbers will be 58, 59, and 60.

Hope this helped.
