Answer: The amount paid by Alex = $38.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The cost of each book = $8

Then the total cost of six books = 6\times8=\$48

The discount percent on total cost = 20 %

Then,  discount amount = 20% of total cost

=0.20\times48=\$9.6vvvvvvv

Therefore, the amount paid by Alex = 48-9.6=\$38.4

Hence, the amount paid by Alex = $38.4

6 books at $ 8 = (6 * 8) = 48

if he got a discount of 20%, then he paid 80%
0.80(48) = 38.40 <== what he paid

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.

<u>Method 1:</u>

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

Here <em>α </em>= intercept, <em>β</em> = slope and <em>e</em> = error.

The formula to compute the intercept is:

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

Here<em> </em>\bar y and \bar x are mean of the <em>y</em> and <em>x</em> 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

<u>Method 2:</u>

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 <em>r</em> = correlation coefficient = r=\frac{Cov (x,y)}{\sqrt{\sigma^{2}_{x}\sigma^{2}_{y}} }

\sigma_{x} and \sigma_{y} are standard deviation of <em>x</em> and <em>y</em> respectively.

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

Look at the graph below measuring the speed of a truck and answers the following 2 question.
NemiM [27]
X would be equal to time and y be equal to distance

The y axis would be measuring distance and the x axis would be measuring time. Another name for a speed graph is the distance time graph. The y axis would be measuring the distance covered by the truck in meters and the x axis would be for the time it takes to reach that distance in second.



B) 2-6 would represent contact motion, meaning the vehicle is at rest. The time would be increasing from 2-6 to however the distance remains the same which is 20m

A seal went 15 below sea level to catch a fish. A sea lion dove 6 feet less than two times as deep as the seal to catch a larger
anygoal [31]

Answer:

2\times 15-6 = 24\ below\ sea\ level

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Distance traveled by seal to catch the fish = 15 below sea level

Sea lion wanted to catch a larger fish so sea lion dove 6 feet lesser than two time the distance that the seal traveled.

To find:

The expression to represent the position of the sea lion in the sea.

Solution:

If the distance traveled by seal is represented by D then as per the question statement:

Twice of D = 2\times D

6 lesser than twice of D = 2\times D - 6

Now, putting the value of D = 15

Therefore, the expression to represent the sea lion's position w.r.to sea level.

2\times 15-6\\ = 24\ below\ sea\ level
