Percent increase and decrease. Original number:45 New number: 18

Mathematics
1 answer:
andre [41]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

60% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage increase/ decrease construct a fraction with numerator showing increase/ decrease and denominator with original number then multiply the fraction by 100%

here the decrease = 45 - 18 = 27

percent decrease = \frac{decrease}{original} × 100%

                             = \frac{27}{45} × 100% = 60%

Which statements about residuals are true for the least-squares regression line? I. A random scattering of residuals indicates t
Daniel [21]

Answer:

II. The sum of the residuals is always 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

A least squares regression line is a standard technique in regression analysis used to make the vertical distance obtained from the data points running to the regression line to become very minimal or as small as possible.

For any least-squares regression line, the sum of the residuals is always zero.

Basically, residuals are used to measure or determine whether or not the line of regression is a good fit or match for the data by subtracting the difference between them i.e the predicted y value and the actual y value, for the x value respectively.

Hence, the statement about residuals which is true for the least-squares regression line is that the sum of the residuals is always zero (0).

The Richter scale is used for measuring the magnitude of an earthquake. The Richter magnitude is given R = 0.67log(0.37E) + 1.46
natka813 [3]

Answer:

7.9982

Step-by-step explanation:

-The function for an earthquake's magnitude is given by  R = 0.67log(0.37E) + 1.46

-E is energy in kwh.

#For 15,500,000,000 kilowatt hours the magnitude would be:

R = 0.67\ log(0.37E) + 1.46,\ \  E=15,500,000,000  \ kwh\\\\\therefore R=0.67 \ log(0.37\times 15,500,000,000)+1.46\\\\\\=7.9982

Hence, the earthquakes magnitude is 7.9982
