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

Scilla [17]

Answer:

26

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x is counted in hundreds, x=600/100.

x=6

6x-10

When you substitue,

6*6-10

36-10

26

you get 26.

AJ is the bisector of ∠HJI. Determine the value of x.
atroni [7]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

If x was equal to 12, 22.5 or 10 the side would be too large compared to 15. This is only correct if the drawing is to scale, however.

Solve −5x = 15. (1 point)<br><br><br> −3<br> 3<br> 10<br> 20
Luba_88 [7]
Remember you can do anything to an eqautoin as long as you do oit to both sides

-5x=15
try to get 1x by itself

remember
(ax)/a=x when a=a

so
-5x=15
get x
divide both sides by -5
remember to flip sign
(-5x)/(-5)=15/(-5)
x=-3

answer is first one
x=-3
