Answer:

We can compute this in 2 ways:

305 downwind - 260 still air = 45 mph wind velocity

260 still air - 215 downwind = 45 mph wind velocity

What is the solution to the system of equations y= -5x + 30 x = 10

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

We have been given the equation:

$y=-5x+30$

And x=10

Substitute the given x in the given equation we get:

$y=-5(10)+30$

$y=-50+30$

On simplification we get:

$y=-20$

Required solution is: x= 10 and y=-20

The solution to the system of equation is those points that satisfy the given system of equations.

The data below are the ages and systolic blood pressures (measured in millimeters of mercury) of 9 randomly selected adults. Wha

Answer:

$\sum_{i=1}^n x_i =459$

$\sum_{i=1}^n y_i =1227$

$\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i =24059$

$\sum_{i=1}^n y^2_i =168843$

$\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i =63544$

With these we can find the sums:

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}=24059-\frac{459^2}{9}=650$

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}=63544-\frac{459*1227}{9}=967$

And the slope would be:

$m=\frac{967}{650}=1.488$

Nowe we can find the means for x and y like this:

$\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{459}{9}=51$

$\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{1227}{9}=136.33$

And we can find the intercept using this:

$b=\bar y -m \bar x=136.33-(1.488*51)=60.442$

So the line would be given by:

$y=1.488 x +60.442$

And then the best predicted value of y for x = 41 is:

$y=1.488*41 +60.442 =121.45$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we assume the following dataset given:

x: 38,41,45,48,51,53,57,61,65

y: 116,120,123,131,142,145,148,150,152

For this case we need to calculate the slope with the following formula:

$m=\frac{S_{xy}}{S_{xx}}$

Where:

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}$

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}$

So we can find the sums like this:

$\sum_{i=1}^n x_i =459$

$\sum_{i=1}^n y_i =1227$

$\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i =24059$

$\sum_{i=1}^n y^2_i =168843$

$\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i =63544$

With these we can find the sums:

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}=24059-\frac{459^2}{9}=650$

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}=63544-\frac{459*1227}{9}=967$

And the slope would be:

$m=\frac{967}{650}=1.488$

Nowe we can find the means for x and y like this:

$\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{459}{9}=51$

$\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{1227}{9}=136.33$

And we can find the intercept using this:

$b=\bar y -m \bar x=136.33-(1.488*51)=60.442$

So the line would be given by:

$y=1.488 x +60.442$

And then the best predicted value of y for x = 41 is:

$y=1.488*41 +60.442 =121.45$
