Answer:

(a) \hat y=69.04-0.083\cdot x

(b) D. For every unit increase in commute​ time, the index score falls by <u>0.083</u>​, on average.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Form the least-squares regression line using Excel as follows:

Go to Data → Data Analysis → Regression

A dialog box will open.

Select the <em>X</em> and <em>Y</em> variable.

Press Ok.

The regression output is attached below.

The least-squares regression line is:

\hat y=69.04-0.083\cdot x

(b)

The slope of a regression line is the average rate of change in<em> </em>the dependent variable (<em>y</em>) with 1 unit change in the independent variable (<em>x</em>).

Here the slope value is -0.083. This value implies that with 1 minute change in the commute times the Well-Being Index​ Score falls by 0.083 units.

The intercept of a regression line is the average value of the dependent variable (<em>y</em>) when the independent variable (<em>x</em>) value is 0.

Here, the intercept value is 69.04. This value implies that for a person with commute time 0, their Well-Being Index​ Score is 69.04.

The correct option is:

D. For every unit increase in commute​ time, the index score falls by <u>0.083</u>​, on average.

The ratio of dogs to cats at a local animal shelter is 13/25. Which statement must be true?
Ivan

<em>Option:</em>

<em>a. for every 13 dogs, there are 25 cats. </em>

<em>b. there are twice as many cats as dogs at the shelter. </em>

<em>c. the shelter has more dogs than cats. </em>

<em>d. there are 25 animals in the shelter.</em>

Answer:

a. for every 13 dogs, there are 25 cats.

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent Dogs with D and Cats with C;

So;

\frac{D}{C} = \frac{13}{25}

By comparison:

D=13

C = 25

This implies that:

For every 13 D, there are 25 C

Hence: Option A is true

statuscvo [17]

Answer: 45

Step-by-step explanation:

In​ 2016, 1 out of every 5 people under the age of 50 used a cell phone to read​ e-books. This means that 2 out of every 10 people under the age of 50 used a cell phone to read​ e-books. Also, 3 out of every 15 people under the age of 50 used a cell phone to read​ e-books.

Therefore, if there were x people under the age of 50 in​ 2016, then the number that used a cell phone to read​ e-books would be

1/5 × x = x/5

If there were approximately 225 million people under the age of 50 in​ 2016, then the number that were likely to have read an​ e-book on a cell​ phone is

225/5 = 45 people.
