They won 54 games and lost 108 games. I got 54 because 162 divided by 3 is 54. 54 times 2 equals 108. Add them together and it equals 162.

Answer:

The number of games will the team lose be 108 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

A baseball team loses twice as many games as it wins.

The baseball season is 162 games long.

Let us assume that the number of games baseball team wins be x .

Let us assume that the number of games baseball team losses = 2x

Thus

2x + x = 162

3x = 162

$x = \frac{162}{3}$

x = 54

Number of games baseball team losses = 2 × 54

= 108

Therefore the number of games team loses are 108 .

What is the equation of the best-fitting regression line? Find this in two ways. First, using the regression analysis part of th

Lemur [1.5K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Regression analysis is used to infer about the relationship between two or more variables.

The line of best fit is a straight line representing the regression equation on a scatter plot. The may pass through either some point or all points or none of the points.

Method 1:

Using regression analysis the line of best fit is: $y=\alpha +\beta x+e$

Here α = intercept, β = slope and e = error.

The formula to compute the intercept is:

$\alpha =\bar y-\beta \bar x$

Here $\bar y$ and $\bar x$ are mean of the y and x values respectively.

$\bar y=\frac{\sum y_{i}}{n} \\\bar x=\frac{\sum x_{i}}{n}$

The formula to compute the slope is:

$\beta =\frac{\sum (x-\bar x)(y - \bar y)}{\sum (x=\bar x)^{2}}$

And the formula to compute the error is:

$e=y-\alpha -\beta x$

Method 2:

The regression line can be determined using the descriptive statistics mean, standard deviation and correlation.

The equation of the line of best fit is:

$(y-\bar y)=r\frac{\sigma_{x}}{\sigma_{y}} (x-\bar x)$

Here r = correlation coefficient = $r=\frac{Cov (x,y)}{\sqrt{\sigma^{2}_{x}\sigma^{2}_{y}} }$

$\sigma_{x}$ and $\sigma_{y}$ are standard deviation of x and y respectively.

$\sigma_{x}=\frac{1}{n}\sum (x-\bar x)^{2} \\\sigma_{y}=\frac{1}{n}\sum (y-\bar y)^{2}$

Find the value for x

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

x=45

Step-by-step explanation:

add (3x-9)+30+24=180

subtract 30 and 24 from both sides

(3x-9) = 126

+9 on both sides

3x=135

divide by 3 on both sides

x=45
