A pediatrician wishes to study how the average weight Y (in kilograms) of children changes during the first year of life. He plo

ts these averages versus the age X (in months) and decides to fit a least-squares regression line to the data with X as the explanatory variable and Y as the response variable. He computes the following quantities: r = correlation between X and Y= 0.84 x = mean of the values of X = 5.69 y = mean of the values of Y = 6.26 S_x = standard deviation of the values of X = 3.23 s_y = standard deviation of the values of Y = 2.04 The slope of the least-squares line is: A) 0.53.B) 0.64. C) 0.84. D) 2.04.

Answer:

Answer is option a ) 0.53

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = r*\frac{s_y}{s_x}

Given that a pediatrician wishes to study how the average weight Y (in kilograms) of children changes during the first year of life. He plots these averages versus the age X (in months) and decides to fit a least-squares regression line to the data with X as the explanatory variable and Y as the response variable.

He finds  the following quantities:

r = correlation between X and Y= 0.84

x = mean of the values of X = 5.69

y = mean of the values of Y = 6.26

S_x = standard deviation of the values of X = 3.23

s_y = standard deviation of the values of Y = 2.04

Using the formula for slope given above substitute to get

slope = 0.84*\frac{2.04}{3.23} \\=0.5305

round off to 0.53

Answer is option a ) 0.53

The common denominator for 25 and 20 would be 100

25 x 4 = 100

20 x 5 = 100

Rewrite 14/25 as 14 x 4 / 25 x 4 = 56/100

Rewrite 11/20 as 11 x 5 / 20 x 5 = 55/100

14/25 is greater than 11/20

14/25 > 11/20

Two angles are complementary. mZT is (3x + 17)° and mZW is 19°<br> Solve for x and for mZT.
natima [27]

Answer:

x = 18

mZT = 71º

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles total 90º

(3x + 17) + 19 = 90

Subtract 19 from both sides

3x + 17 = 71

mZT = 71º

Subtract 17 from both sides

3x = 54

Divide both sides by 3

x = 18
