You know that there is a strong correlation between the consumption of ice cream and body weight. The Pearson's r = 0.78. You al

so know that the average consumption of ice cream per week is five grams with a standard deviation of 1.5 grams. The average weight is 65 kg with a standard deviation of 15 kg. What is the formula of the regression line?

Answer:

y = 7.8x + 26

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Pearson's r = 0.78

Average consumption of ice cream = 5 grams per week (m) with Standard deviation (sd) = 1.5 grams

Average weight = 65 kg with standard deviation of 15kg

Formular for the regression line :

General regression formula :

y = mx + c

y = predicted variable ; m = slope or gradient ; x = predictor variable ; c = intercept

Gradient (m) = change in y / change in x

m = (sd y / sd x) * r

m = (sd weight / sd ice cream) × r

m = (15 / 1.5) × r

m = 10 × 0.78 = 7.8

Intercept:

mean of weight(y) - [Slope×mean of icecream(x)]

65 - [7.8 × 5]

65 - 39 = 26

Hence,

y = 7.8x + 26

Adriano loves anime and collects toys from his favorite series. each month he gains 4 toys. if adriano has 3 toys when he starts
skad [1K]
The equation for this would be 4x+3=y where x is months and y is your amount of toys after x months.
plug in 4 for x -> 4(4)+3=y
solve -> 16+3=y
y=19

Write and solve an equation to find the value of x and the missing angle measures​
meriva

Answer:

x+85  + x+105 = 180

x = -5

x+85 = -5+85 = 80

x+105 = -5+105 = 100

Step-by-step explanation:

The two angles form a straight line so they add to 180

x+85  + x+105 = 180

Combine like terms

2x + 190 = 180

Subtract 190 from each side

2x+190-190 = 180-190

2x = -10

Divide by 2

2x/2 = -10/2

x = -5

x+85 = -5+85 = 80

x+105 = -5+105 = 100
