According to industry sources, online banking is expected to take off in the near future. The projected number of households (in

millions) using this service is given in the following table. (Here, x = 0 corresponds to the beginning of 1997.)
Year, x 0 1 2 3 4 5
Households, y 4.5 7.5 10.0 13.0 15.6 18.0
(a) Find an equation of the least-squares line for these data. (Give numbers to three decimal places.)
y(x) =

(b) Use your result of part (a) to estimate the number of households using online banking at the beginning of 2007, assuming the projection is accurate.

Answer:

(a) The least-square regression line is: y=4.662+2.709x.

(b) The number of households using online banking at the beginning of 2007 is 31.8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of a least square regression line is:

y=\alpha +\beta x

Here,

<em>y</em> = dependent variable

<em>x</em> = independent variable

<em>α</em> = intercept

<em>β</em> = slope

(a)

The formula to compute intercept and slope is:

\begin{aligned}        \alpha  &= \frac{\sum{Y} \cdot \sum{X^2} - \sum{X} \cdot \sum{XY} }{n \cdot \sum{X^2} - \left(\sum{X}\right)^2}  \\\beta &= \frac{ n \cdot \sum{XY} - \sum{X} \cdot \sum{Y}}{n \cdot \sum{X^2} - \left(\sum{X}\right)^2}        \end{aligned}

The values of ∑<em>X</em>, ∑<em>Y</em>, ∑<em>XY</em> and ∑<em>X</em>² are computed in the table below.

Compute the value of intercept and slope as follows:

\begin{aligned}        \alpha &= \frac{\sum{Y} \cdot \sum{X^2} - \sum{X} \cdot \sum{XY} }{n \cdot \sum{X^2} - \left(\sum{X}\right)^2} =             \frac{ 68.6 \cdot 55 - 15 \cdot 218.9}{ 6 \cdot 55 - 15^2} \approx 4.662 \\ \\\beta &= \frac{ n \cdot \sum{XY} - \sum{X} \cdot \sum{Y}}{n \cdot \sum{X^2} - \left(\sum{X}\right)^2}        = \frac{ 6 \cdot 218.9 - 15 \cdot 68.6 }{ 6 \cdot 55 - \left( 15 \right)^2} \approx 2.709\end{aligned}

The least-square regression line is:

y=4.662+2.709x

(b)

For the year 2007 the value of <em>x</em> is 10.

Compute the value of <em>y</em> for <em>x</em> = 10 as follows:

y=4.662+2.709x

  =4.662+(2.709\times10)\\=4.662+27.09\\=31.752\\\approx 31.8

Thus, the number of households using online banking at the beginning of 2007 is 31.8.

You are in a hot air balloon looking down at two ponds. Pond A which is in front of your balloon, is at an angle of depression t
MatroZZZ [7]

a. See attachment for the labelled diagram

b. Using the sine ratio, distance from the hot air to pond A is 5,038.9 m, while distance from the hot air to pond B is 6,287.1 m.

c. Distance between the two ponds is 1,263.5 m.

<h3>What is the Sine and Tangent Ratios?</h3>

Sine ratio, is: sin ∅ = opposite side/hypotenuse length

Tangent ratio is: tan ∅ = opposite side/adjacent length.

a. The diagram with the appropriate labels is shown in the image attached below.

b. Use the sine ratio to find the distance from the hot air to pond A (CA) and to pond B (CB):

CA = hypotenuse

∅ = 10°

Opposite = 875 m

sin 10 = 875/CA

CA = 875/sin 10

CA ≈ 5,038.9 m (distance from the hot air to pond A)

CB = hypotenuse

∅ = 8°

Opposite = 875 m

sin 8 = 875/CB

CB = 875/sin 8

CB ≈ 6,287.1 m (distance from the hot air to pond B)

c. Distance between the two ponds, BA = BD + DA.

Apply the tangent ratio to find BD and DA

tan 8 = 875/BD

BD = 875/tan 8

BD = 6,225.9 m

tan 10 = 875/DA

DA = 875/tan 10

DA = 4,962.4 m

Distance between the two ponds = 6,225.9 - 4,962.4 = 1,263.5 m.

Which function is the inverse of f (x) = 2x + 8?
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

f-1(x) = (x-8)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x+ 8

y = 2x + 8

replacing y and x

x = 2y + 8

2y = x- 8

y =( x-8)/2

f-1 (x) =( x-8)/2
