The question is asking you to add mixed numbers together. The two mixed numbers you want to add up are 2 1/3 and 3 1/3.

This question is fairly simpler than other mixed number or fraction types of problems because the fractions attached to the whole numbers already come having common denominators.

This means you don't have to do anything extra to the fractions to add them; you can just add the numerators (top numbers) together and keep the denominators the same.

Add the fractions (1/3) together first.

1/3 + 1/3 = 2/3

Now add the whole numbers together.

2 + 3 = 5

Combine the whole number and the fraction together to create the mixed number as your answer. Your answer is 5 and 2/3.

Modern medical practice tells us not to encourage babies to become too fat. Is there a positive correlation between the weight x

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

a) Figure attached

b) $y=1.31 x +98.57$

c) The correlation coefficient would be r =0.47719

d) $y=1.31 x +98.57=1.31*21 + 98.57 =126.08$

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Draw a scatter diagram for the data.

See the figure attached

(b) Find x, y, b, and the equation of the least-squares line. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) x =__ y =__ b =__ y =__ + __x

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

Where:

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

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

With these we can find the sums:

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}=6576-\frac{300^2}{14}=147.429$

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i){n}}=38186-\frac{300*1773}{14}=193.143$

And the slope would be:

$m=\frac{193.143}{147.429}=1.31$

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

$\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{300}{14}=21.429$

$\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{1773}{14}=126.643$

And we can find the intercept using this:

$b=\bar y -m \bar x=126.643-(1.31*21.429)=98.571$

So the line would be given by:

$y=1.31 x +98.57$

(c) Find the sample correlation coefficient r and the coefficient of determination r?2. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

n=14 $\sum x = 300, \sum y = 1773, \sum xy=38186, \sum x^2 =6576, \sum y^2 =225649$

And in order to calculate the correlation coefficient we can use this formula:

$r=\frac{n(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2 -(\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2 -(\sum y)^2]}}$

$r=\frac{14(38186)-(300)(1773)}{\sqrt{[14(6576) -(300)^2][14(225649) -(1773)^2]}}=0.9534$

So then the correlation coefficient would be r =0.47719

What percentage of variation in y is explained by the least-squares model? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

The % of variation is given by the determination coefficient given by $r^2$ and on this case $0.47719^2 =0.2277$ , so then the % of variation explaines is 22.8%.

(d) If a female baby weighs 21 pounds at 1 year, what do you predict she will weigh at 30 years of age? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) ___ lb

So we can replace in the linear model like this:

$y=1.31 x +98.57=1.31*21 + 98.57 =126.08$
