Answer: There is not a good prediction for the height of the tree when it is 100 years old because the prediction given by the trend line produced by the regression calculator probably is not valid that far in the future.
Step-by-step explanation:
Years since tree was planted (x) - - - - height (y)
2 - - - - 17
3 - - - - 25
5 - - - 42
6 - - - - 47
7 - - - 54
9 - - - 69
Using a regression calculator :
The height of tree can be modeled by the equation : ŷ = 7.36X + 3.08
With y being the predicted variable; 7.36 being the slope and 3.08 as the intercept.
X is the independent variable which is used in calculating the value of y.
Predicted height when years since tree was planted(x) = 100
ŷ = 7.36X + 3.08
ŷ = 7.36(100) + 3.08
y = 736 + 3.08
y = 739.08
Forward prediction of 100 years produced by the trendline would probably give an invalid value because the trendline only models a range of 9 years prediction. However, a linear regression equation isn't the best for making prediction that far in into the future.
Answer:
Kenny is 18 years old Andrew is 10 years old Tim is 30 years old and Cameron is 5 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a be Kenny's age , b be Andrew's age , c be Tim's age , d be Cameron's age
( b < a , b<c , d<b)
Kenny is 8 years older than Andrewn = > a = b + 8 (1)
Tim is 3 times as old as Andrew => c = 3 . b (2)
Cameron is 5 years younger than Andrew => d = b-5 (3)
The combined age of the four is 63 => a+b+c+d = 63 (4)
(1),(2),(3),(4) => b+8 + b + 3b + b-5 = 63 <=> 6b + 3 = 63 <=> b = 10
=> a= 10+8 =18, c = 3 . 10 = 30, d= 5
