<u>Answer-</u>

<em>The least squares regression equation using the school year (in number of years after 2000) for the input variable and the average cost (in thousands of dollars) for the output variable is "y=0.937x+12.765" .</em>

<u>Solution-</u>

The independent variable / input variable= x = Number of years after 2000 ( = year-2000)

The dependent variable / output variable = y = Average cost in thousands of dollars

(The table has been attached herewith.)

To find the regression equation for a group of (x,y) points,

We have to calculate the slope and y-intercept, then we can put those values in the equation y = mx + c ( Slope - Intercept formula)

We know that,

Slope=m=\frac{N\sum xy -\sum x\sum y}{N\sum x^{2}- (\sum x)^{2}}

Putting the values from the table,

m=\frac{(8 \times 1020.206)-(52 \times 150.894)}{(8 \times 3810)-(52^2)}

( ∵ Instead of 150,894 we have to put 150.894 as we have find the line for year and thousands of dollars )

\Rightarrow m =\frac{8161.648-7846.488}{3040-2704} =\frac{315.16}{336}=0.937

Now, for the y-intercept,

c =\frac{\sum y -m(\sum x)}{N}

Putting the values,

c=\frac{150.894-(52 \times 0.937)}{8}=\frac{102.125}{8}=12.765

Now, putting the values of c and m, in the Slope-Intercept formula,

y=0.937x+12.765

A cable is <br> 40<br><br> meters long. How long is the cable in decimeters?
AnnyKZ [126]
Hello,

1 meter is equal to 10 decimeters.

SO, 
if we convert 40 meters to decimeters, we multiply 40 meters by 10 decimeters, getting 400 decimeters.

Hope this helps!

What are the parent function in transformation​
mylen [45]

Answer:

The transformation of the parent function is shown in blue. It is a shift down (or vertical translation down) of 1 unit. A reflection on the x-axis is made on a function by multiplying the parent function by a negative.
