Answer:

x does equal -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Add -1 to each side.

1+-1+3x-14+-1

Combine the like terms.

0+3x=-14+-1

3x=-14+-1

3x=-15

Divide that by 3.

x= -5

Hope this helps. Plz give brainliest.

bring 1 over to the other side as it is alike to negative 14
when you bring 1 to the other side it turns into negative 1

subtract negative 1 from negative 14

bring 3 over to the other side and divide it by 15

this is the answer ...

hope that helps :)

An automobile dealer wants to see if there is a relationship between monthly sales and the interest rate. A random sample of 4 m

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

a) $y=-6.254 x +75.064$

b) r =-0.932

The % of variation is given by the determination coefficient given by $r^2$ and on this case $-0.932^2 =0.8687$ , so then the % of variation explained by the linear model is 86.87%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the following dataset:

Monthly Sales (Y) Interest Rate (X)

22 9.2

20 7.6

10 10.4

45 5.3

Part a

And we want a linear model on this way y=mx+b, where m represent the slope and b the intercept. In order to find the slope we have this formula:

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

Where:

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

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

With these we can find the sums:

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}=278.65-\frac{32.5^2}{4}=14.5875$

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i){n}}=696.9-\frac{32.5*97}{4}=-91.225$

And the slope would be:

$m=\frac{-91.225}{14.5875}=-6.254$

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

$\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{32.5}{4}=8.125$

$\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{97}{4}=24.25$

And we can find the intercept using this:

$b=\bar y -m \bar x=24.25-(-6.254*8.125)=75.064$

So the line would be given by:

$y=-6.254 x +75.064$

Part b

For this case we need to calculate the correlation coefficient given by:

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

$r=\frac{4(696.9)-(32.5)(97)}{\sqrt{[4(278.65) -(32.5)^2][4(3009) -(97)^2]}}=-0.937$

So then the correlation coefficient would be r =-0.932

The % of variation is given by the determination coefficient given by $r^2$ and on this case $-0.932^2 =0.8687$ , so then the % of variation explained by the linear model is 86.87%.

What is the benefit of using statistical sampling versus nonstatistical sampling?

taurus [48]

<span>Statistical sampling: Uses laws of probability for selection and evaluation of a sample. Allows for quantification of audit risk and sufficiency of audit evidence. Nonstatistical sampling: Does not utilize statistical models in calcualtions. Uses a non-mathematical approach to determine sample sizes and evaluate the selected samples.</span>

Proving That All Circles Are Similar

Nitella [24]

Answer:

Figures can be proven similar if one, or more, similarity transformations (reflections, translations, rotations, dilations) can be found that map one figure onto another. In our attempt to prove all circles are similar, a translation and a scale factor (from a dilation) will be found to map one circle onto another.
