Well you would cross multiple 36x4 which is 144 then you would divide that by 16 which would be 9 and 9 is d

#20 16/36 = 4/d 4 x 36 = 144/16= 9 d=9 #24 144/40 = x/5 144 x 5/40=18 x=18

If a group of independent variables are not significant individually but are significant as a group at a specified level of sign

ycow [4]

Answer:

D) collinearity

Step-by-step explanation:

Collinearity occurs when a few of the independent variables are related or match up. Collinearity increases the large proportion the variance of an estimated regression coefficient which leads to certain regression coefficient having wrong signs. It is used to explain the relationship between two variables.

Joe can cut and split a cord of firewood in 3 fewer hours than Dwight can. When they work together, it takes them 2 hours. How

aalyn [17]

Answer:

Dwight will take 6 hours to finish the job alone and Joe will take 3 hours to finish the job alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the time taken by Dwight to split a cord of firewood = K hrs

So, the per hour rate of Dwight = $(\frac{1}{K})$

As, Joe uses 3 LESS hours then Dwight.

So, the time taken by Joe to split a cord of firewood = (K- 3) hrs

So, the per hour rate of Joe = $(\frac{1}{K-3})$

Now, when both of them wok together, it takes them 2 hours.

So, the per hour rate of BOTH of them = $(\frac{1}{2})$

⇒ Per hour rate of ( Dwight + Joe) = $(\frac{1}{2} )$

$\implies (\frac{1}{K}) + (\frac{1}{K-3}) = (\frac{1}{2})$

Now, solving for the value of K , we get:

$(\frac{1}{K}) + (\frac{1}{K-3}) = (\frac{1}{2})\\\implies \frac{(K-3) + K}{K (K-3)} = (\frac{1}{2})\\\implies 2(2K -3) = K^2 - 3K\\\implies k^2 - 3K -4K +6 = 0\\\implies K^2 - 7K + 6= 0\\\implies K^2 - 6K - K + 6= 0\\\implies K(K-6) -1(K - 6)= 0\\\implies (K-6)(K-1) = 0$

Implies either K = 6 Or K = 1

But if K = 1, (K-3) = 1- 3 = -2 hours would be A CONTRADICTION.

⇒ K = 6 hours

Hence, Dwight will take 6 hours to finish the job alone and Joe will take (k-3) = (6-3) = 3 hours to finish the job alone.

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

p= 1/3 or 0.33 repeating

Step-by-step explanation:

5-19p=-p-1

5=18p-1

6=18p

divide by 18

6/18 = 1/3 or 0.33 repeating
