Answer:

m=-\frac{7600}{8250}=-0.921

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

\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{550}{10}=55

\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{1042}{10}=104.2

And we can find the intercept using this:

b=\bar y -m \bar x=104.2-(-0.921*55)=104.707

So the line would be given by:

y=-0.921 x +104.707

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following data given:

Demand (x): 10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100

Price (y): 141 , 133,126, 128,113,97, 90, 82,79,53

We want to construct a linear model like this:

y = mx +b

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 =550

\sum_{i=1}^n y_i =1042

\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i =38500

\sum_{i=1}^n y^2_i =115882

\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i =49710

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}=38500-\frac{550^2}{10}=8250

S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}=49710-\frac{550*1042}{10}=-7600

And the slope would be:

m=-\frac{7600}{8250}=-0.921

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

\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{550}{10}=55

\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{1042}{10}=104.2

And we can find the intercept using this:

b=\bar y -m \bar x=104.2-(-0.921*55)=104.707

So the line would be given by:

p(x)=-0.921 x +104.707

James has eight coins in his pocket. All the coins are either dimes or quarters.The total value of the coins is $1.25. How many
Goshia [24]

Answer:

he has 5d+3q

Step-by-step explanation:

since every d is .10 and every q is .25 the equation can be changed to 5(.10)+3(.25) which is equal to .5+.75 which adds up to 1.25

i did this by assuming that the amount of d is 8 at first, then change one of the 8 d to a q which will give you 7d+q, then assume another d is a q which will give you 6d+2q, repeat this until the amount of d and q add up to 1.25

A storage container is rectangular and has a length of 15ft and a width of 4ft. It will hold 270 cubic feet of materials. What i
KonstantinChe [14]

Volume of a rectangular prism = l × w × h.

In this case,

V = 270 cubic feet

l = 15 feet

w = 4 ft

h = ?

Plug our values into the volume formula.

270 cubic feet = 15 feet × 4 feet × h.

Simplify the right side

270 = 60 × h.

Divide each side by 60.

4.5 = h

The height is 4.5 feet.
