The following table shows the percent increase of donations made on behalf of a non-profit organization for the period of 1984 t

o 2003. Use a graphing calculator to make a scatter plot of the data. Find an equation for and graph the line of regression. Then use the equation to predict the percent donated in the year 2015.

Giving the table below which shows <span>the percent increase of donations made on behalf of a non-profit organization for the period of 1984 to 2003.
</span>
Year:        1984     1989     1993     1997     2001     2003

Percent:    7.8       16.3       26.2      38.9     49.2      62.1

The scatter plot of the data is attached with the x-axis representing the number of years after 1980 and the y-axis representing the percent increase <span>of donations made on behalf of a non-profit organization.

To find the equation for the line of regression where </span><span>the x-axis representing the number of years after 1980 and the y-axis representing the percent increase of donations made on behalf of a non-profit organization.
\begin{center}&#10;\begin{tabular}{ c| c| c| c| }&#10; x & y & x^2 & xy \\ [1ex] &#10; 4 & 7.8 & 16 & 31.2 \\  &#10; 9 & 16.3 & 81 & 146.7 \\ &#10;13 & 26.2 & 169 & 340.6 \\ &#10;17 & 38.9 & 289 & 661.3 \\ &#10;21 & 49.2 & 441 & 1,033.2 \\ &#10;23 & 62.1 & 529 & 1,428.3 \\ [1ex]&#10;\Sigma x=87 & \Sigma y=200.5 & \Sigma x^2=1,525 & \Sigma xy=3,641.3  &#10;\end{tabular}&#10;\end{center}
</span>
Recall that the equation of the regression line is given by
y=a+bx
where
a= \frac{(\Sigma y)(\Sigma x^2)-(\Sigma x)(\Sigma xy)}{n(\Sigma x^2)-(\Sigma x)^2} = \frac{200.5(1,525)-87(3,641.3)}{6(1,525)-(87)^2}  \\  \\ = \frac{305,762.5-316793.1}{9,150-7,569} = \frac{-11,030.6}{1,581} =-6.977
and
b= \frac{n(\Sigma xy)-(\Sigma x)(\Sigma y)}{n(\Sigma x^2)-(\Sigma x)^2} = \frac{6(3,641.3)-(87)(200.5)}{6(1,525)-(87)^2}  \\  \\ = \frac{21,847.8-17,443.5}{9,150-7,569} = \frac{4,404.3}{1,581} =2.7858

Thus, the equation of the regresson line is given by
y=-6.977+2.7858x

The graph of the regression line is attached.

Using the equation, we can predict the percent donated in the year 2015. Recall that 2015 is 35 years after 1980. Thus x = 35.

The percent donated in the year 2015 is given by
-6.977+2.7858(35)=-6.977+97.503=90.526

Therefore, the percent donated in the year 2015 is predicted to be 90.5

Suppose that the time (in hours) required to repair a machine is an exponentially distributed random variable with mean 1/0.41/0
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

a) P(t>3)=0.30

b) P(t>10|t>9)=0.67

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a repair time modeled as an exponentially random variable, with mean 1/0.4=2.5 hours.

The parameter λ of the exponential distribution is the inverse of the mean, so its λ=0.4 h^-1.

The probabity that a repair time exceeds k hours can be written as:

P(t>k)=e^{-\lambda t }=e^{-0.4t}

(a) the probability that a repair time exceeds 3 hours?

P(t>3)=e^{-0.4*3}=e^{-1.2}= 0.30

(b) the conditional probability that a repair takes at least 10 hours, given that it takes more than 9 hours?

The exponential distribution has a memoryless property, in which the probabilities of future events are not dependant of past events.

In this case, the conditional probability that a repair takes at least 10 hours, given that it takes more than 9 hours is equal to the probability that a repair takes at least (10-9)=1 hour.

P(t>10|t>9)=P(t>1)

P(k>1)=e^{-0.4*1}=0.67

Simplify the algebraic expression by combining like (or similar) terms.<br> -7x - 8y- 5x - 6y
stira [4]

Answer:

-12x - 14y

Step-by-step explanation:

First I would move them side by side so I can see it better so:

-7x - 5x - 8y - 6y

now combine the x values together and the y values together:

-12x - 14y
