<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 factory can assemble 150 cars in 3 hours. At this rate, how many cars can be assemble in 8 hours?
Orlov [11]
To find this out first we will see how many cars they assemble in 1 hour. Lets do it:-

150 / 3 = 50
50 cars per hr
 
50 * 8 = 400
400 cars in 8 hrs
 
CHECK OUR WORK;-
 
400 / 8 = 50
We were RIGHT!!
 
So, in 8 hrs the factory can assemble 400 cars.
 
Hope I helped ya!! xD

Find the common fraction equivalent to 0.12
jonny [76]
The answer is:  " \frac{4}{33} "  .
______________________________
Given:  0.1212121212..... repeating ;  write that value as a fraction;
______________________________________________________
In other words; we are given:  "0.1212121212..... repeating infinitely" ;  

→ that is to say; "0.12 ...  ;  {the "12" decimal portion repeats infinitely} ; 
_______________________________________________________
→ We write this value, as a fraction, as:  "12/99" ;
__________________________________________
→Explanation:
__________________________________________ 


Note:  "0.99999999...... repeating infinitely;  =  "1" .
_________________________________________
→Since:

Let us say that we have: 

"x = 0.999999 ; repeating infinitely;  

In order words, let us say we have: "x = 0.9.... ;  the "9" decimal repeats infinitely; 
_____________________________________________________
   Then "10x" ;  (that is: "10" multlipled by "x";  or "10*x" or "10x" );  is equal to:

"10" * (0.999999.....)  = 9.99999999...... (the "9" decimal repeats infinitely);

in other words:  10x = 9.99999999....

Divide each side by "10" ;

to get "x = 0.9999999....." ; the decimal "9" repeats indefinitely...." ;

But if you have:  "10x = 10" ;  divide each side of the equation by "10" ; 
   you get: "x = 1" . 
____________________
Also,  if "x = 0.9999...(repeating infinitely); 

then:  10x = 9.99999.
_______________________________________________
           10x  =  9.999999999999999......
       −     x  =  0.999999999999999.......
    _____________________________________
            9x  =  9.00000000000000000000.....

 →  9x = 9 ; 

Divide each side of the equation; to get; 

 9x /9 = 9/ 9 ;  to get:  x = 1 ; and we have: x = 0.9999.... ;  so
  x= 0.99999.... = 1 ; 
__________________________________________________
So, if the numbers "12" is repeating, we divie "12" by "99" ; 
  that is; we divide "12" by "two 9's" ;  since "12" is a "TWO-digit number"; a "two-digit number" is being repeated infinitely.
________________________________________
            So;  0.12121212.....(the "12" is the decimal that repeats infinitely);            
                   
=  12/99 ;  which can be simplified;

Divide each side (both the numerator AND the denominator); by "3" ;
_________________________________________
  " 12/99 "  =  "(12÷3) / (99÷3) = 4/33 " .
_________________________________________
The answer is:  \frac{4}{33}  .

I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST TO WHOEVER ANSWERS FIRST!!!
Alex Ar [27]

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to set one of the equations equal to either x or y. For this, I put x+y=-2 equal to y which would be y=-x-2. Then you plug this in to the other equation for y. This would give you 5x+2(-x-2)=2. When you factor the two into the parenthesis, combine like terms, and keep the x values on ones side and the other numbers on the other side, you get 3x=6
