To calculate this you need to imagine triangle which points are:
boat
Top of lighthouse
Bottom of lighthouse
That triangle has 90 degrees angle at bottom of lighthouse. That means that we can use trigonometry to determine length between boat and bottom of lighthouse
tan(25) = 89/x
x = 89/tan(25)
x = 190.86
after rounding, the answer is D, 191 feet
Answer:
1. what is a residual?
A. A residual is a value of y -y, which is the difference between an observed value of y and a predicted value of y.
2. The regression line has the property that the_sum of squares_of the residuals is the minimum possible sum.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. What is a residual?
A. A residual is a value of y -y, which is the difference between an observed value of y and a predicted value of y.
2. In what sense is the regression line the straight line that "best" fits the points in a scatterplot?
The regression line has the property that the_sum of squares_of the residuals is the minimum possible sum.
when is 9 = 15.2 - 0.537x
9 = 15.2 - 0.537x
-15.2 -15.2 subtract 15.2 from both sides
-6.2 = -0.537x
/-0.537 /-0.537 divide -0.537 from both sides
11.55 = x or 12 feet round to nearest whole foot
Answer: 17%
Step-by-step explanation:
15.47 over 91 = x over 100
cross multiply and reduce to find 17.
