The number of ounces of cereal in the third box is 32.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

10 oy box = $3

Price of 1 ounce box = $3/10

= $0.3

20 oy box = $5

Price of 1 oy box = $5/20

= $0.25

Therefore, it is beneficial to buy a 20 oy box as it is comparatively cheaper than the 10 oy box.

Third box of cereal = $8

$5 is the price of 20 oy box

$8 will be the price of x oy box

So,

$x = \frac{20}{5} X 8\\ \\x = 32$

Therefore, the number of ounces of cereal in the third box is 32.

Application of the least squares method results in values of the y-intercept and the slope that minimizes the sum of the squared

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

The least squares method results in values of the y-intercept and the slope, that minimizes the sum of the squared deviations between the observed (actual) value and the fitted value.

Step-by-step explanation:

The method of least squares works under these assumptions

The best fit for a data collection is a function (sometimes called curve).
This function, is such that allows the minimal sum of difference between each observation and the expected value.
The expected values are calculated using the fitting function.
The difference between the observation, and the expecte value is know as least square error.

which of the following expresses the coordinates of the foci of the conic section shown below? (x-2)^2/4+(y+5)^2/9

elena55 [62]

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{(x - 2) {}^{2} }{4} + \frac{(y + 5) {}^{2} }{9} = 1$

This is the equation of the ellipse. Since the denominator is greater for the y values, we have a vertical ellipse. Remember a>b, so a

The formula for the foci of the vertical ellipse is

(h,k+c) and (h,k-c).

where c is

Our center (h,k) is (2, -5)

${c}^{2} = {a}^{2} - {b}^{2}$

Here a^2 is 9, b^2 is 4.

${c}^{2} = 9 - 4$

${c}^{2} = 5$

$c = \sqrt{5}$

So our foci is

$(2, - 5 + \sqrt{5} )$

and

$(2, - 5 - \sqrt{5} )$

Answer:

The term rate refers to a quantity of one item in relation to another item used as a standard. A popular example is speed. Speed is a measure of distance traveled through time and is measured as meters per second. Another example is acceleration, which is a measure of speed through time or simply how fast an object is gaining speed and is measured in meters per second squared.

Step-by-step explanation:

Example: For example, if it is a mile, you count how many feet are in that mile.
