Answer:

1 cm : 82km

Step-by-step explanation:

Now

1km = 1000 X 100 cm

Therefore

2050km = 2050 X 1000 X 100cm

2050km = 205,000,000 cm

25cm rep 205,000,000 cm

1cm rep 205,000,000/25 cm

1cm rep 8,200,000cm

8,200,000= 8,200,000÷(100,000)km

=82km

Therefore: 1cm represents 82km

An alternate approach is to divide directly

25cm rep 2050 km

1cm represents 2050/25km

1cm: 82km

The scale is 1 cm : 82km

Answer:

Scale of the Map = 1 cm to 82 Km

Step-by-step explanation:

25cm is equivalent to 2050Km

A radio is being discounted 20% if the sale price of the radio is $51.44 what is the original price of the radio Radio is being
Grace [21]
Original price of the radio is $64.30

Sale price - $51.44
Discount rate - 20%

This means that $51.44 is the discounted price or is equivalent to 80% of the original price, since the 20% equivalent is deducted from the original price.

To get the original price, divide $51.44 by its corresponding percentage, 80%.

$51.44 / 80% = $64.30

To get the discount, multiply the original price by its discount rate

$64.30 x 20% = $12.86

To get the sales price, deduct the discount from the original price.

$64.30 - $12.86 = $51.44
100% - 20% = 80%

A set of bivariate data was used to create a least squares regression line. Which of the following is minimized by the line
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

B) The sum of the squared residuals

Step-by-step explanation:

Least Square Regression Line is drawn through a bivariate data(Data in two variables) plotted on a graph to explain the relation between the explanatory variable(x) and the response variable(y).

Not all the points will lie on the Least Square Regression Line in all cases. Some points will be above line and some points will be below the line. The vertical distance between the points and the line is known as residual. Since, some points are above the line and some are below, the sum of residuals is always zero for a Least Square Regression Line.

Since, we want to minimize the overall error(residual) so that our line is as close to the points as possible, considering the sum of residuals wont be helpful as it will always be zero. So we square the residuals first and them sum them. This always gives a positive value. The Least Square Regression Line minimizes this sum of residuals and the result is a line of Best Fit for the bivariate data.

Therefore, option B gives the correct answer.
