An owner of a home in the Midwest installed solar panels to reduce heating costs. After installing the solar panels, he measured

the amount of natural gas used y y ( in cubic feet) to heat the home and outside temperature x x (in degree-days, where a day's degree-days are the number of degrees its average temperature falls below 65 oF o F ) over a 23-month period. He then computed the least-squares regression line for predicting y from x and found it to be: yˆ= y ^ = 85 + 13x. How much, on average, does gas used increase for each additional degree-day?

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the regression shows the average increase in response variable due to unit increase in explanatory variable. The regression equation of structure y=a+bx has slope=b.

The given regression equation y^=85+13x shows that the slope in the given equation is b=13. The response variable is amount of natural gas is used and explanatory variable is outside temperature in this case.

So, we can say that on increase of every unit of degree day the amount of gas used increase by 13 cubic feet.

Jeremiah built a box that was 5 inches long by 6 inches wide by 7 inches high .he started filling it up with 1 cube.he realized
Degger [83]
To determine the number of cubes he needs to fill the box (this is assuming the cubes are 1 in cubes, he would need to calculate the volume of the box. To find the volume he would multiply the length by the width by the height. This would be 5 in x 6 in x 7 in. The volume is 210 cubic inches, so he could fill it with 210 one inch cubes.

A package contains 12 resistors, 3 of which are defective. If 4 are selected, find the probability of getting
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Incomplete question, but I gave a primer on the hypergeometric distribution, which is used to solve this question, so just the formula has to be applied to find the desired probabilities.

Step-by-step explanation:

The resistors are chosen without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:

P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}

In which:

x is the number of successes.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

In this question:

12 resistors, which means that N = 12

3 defective, which means that k = 3

4 are selected, which means that n = 4

To find an specific probability, that is, of x defectives:

P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}

P(X = x) = h(x,12,4,3) = \frac{C_{3,x}*C_{9,4-x}}{C_{12,4}}
