For a set of data, x is the explanatory variable. Its mean is 8.2, and its standard deviation is 1.92. For the same set of data,

y is the response variable. Its mean is 13.8, and its standard deviation is 3.03. The correlation was found to be 0.223.
Select the correct slope and y-intercept for the least-squares line.
a. Slope = -0.35
y-intercept = -10.9
b. Slope = -0.35
y-intercept = 10.9
c. Slope = 0.35
y-intercept = -10.9
d. Slope = 0.35
y-intercept = 10.9

Answer:

d. Slope = 0.35

y-intercept = 10.9

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Data given in the question

Mean \bar X = 8.2

The standard deviation  of x = \sigma = 1.92

Mean \bar Y = 13.8

The standard deviation  of y = \sigma = 3.03

The correlation = r = 0.223

Based on the above information,

As we know that

The slope is

b = r \frac{\sigma y }{\sigma x} \\\\ = (0.223) (\frac{3.03}{1.92} \\\\ = (0.223) (1.578125)

= 0.3519

Now the y-intercept is

a = \bar Y - b \bar X \\\\

= 13.8  - (0.351922) 8.2

= 13.8 - 2.88579

= 10.91

Jakob is tiling a newly finished room.He estimates that he tiles about 9 square ft every 3/4 hour. About how many sq ft can he t
Ganezh [65]
Okay this is how I would figure this out:
I would take 9 divided by 3 and get 3, so he can tile abut 3 square ft. in 15 minutes.
Then, I would multiply 3 by 4 because there are 4 15 in an hour. I would get 12.
So it takes Jakob 1 hour to tile 12 square feet. 

Your answer is: He can tile about 12 square feet per hour.

Hope this helped :)

Consider the square root function f(x) = sqrt x + 2 + 1 to complete the table of values below. find each missing value and then
Scrat [10]

Given the function :

f(x)=\sqrt[]{x+2}+1

We need to find each missing value

Given x = -3 , -2 , -1 , 2 , 7

So, substitute with each value of x to find the corresponding value of f(x)

x=-3\rightarrow f(x)=\sqrt[]{-3+2}+1=\sqrt[]{-1}+1

So, there is no value for f(x) at x = -3 (the function undefined because the square root of -1)

\begin{gathered} x=-2\rightarrow f(x)=\sqrt[]{-2+2}+1=\sqrt[]{0}+1=0+1=1 \\  \\ x=-1\rightarrow f(x)=\sqrt[]{-1+2}+1=\sqrt[]{1}+1=1+1=2 \\  \\ x=2\rightarrow f(x)=\sqrt[]{2+2}+1=\sqrt[]{4}+1=2+1=3 \\  \\ x=7\rightarrow f(x)=\sqrt[]{7+2}+1=\sqrt[]{9}+1=3+1=4 \end{gathered}

the graph of the function and the points will be as shown in the following image :

The three inside angles (A,B and C) of a right-angled triangle are in the ratio 7:18:11. Th smallest angle is 35. Work out angle
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

<A = 35degrees

<B =90degrees

<C = 55degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the ratios of a triangle as 7:18:11

Total ratio = 7+18+11

Total ratio = 36

Since the smallest angle is 35degrees, hence <A = 35degrees

Get angle B;

<B = 18/36 * 180 (sum of angle in a triangle is 180degrees)

<B = 1/2 * 180

<B = 90degrees

Get angle C;

<C = 11/36 * 180

<C = 11 * 5

<C = 55degrees

Hence the value of A, B and C are 35, 90 and 55 degrees repectively
