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

Beverly drove from the Atlantic City to New York she drove 284 miles at a constant speed of 58 mph how long did it take Beverly
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

4.9 hours = 4 hours 54 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

speed = distance/time

time * speed = distance

time = distance/speed

time = (284 miles)/(58 mph) = 4.9 hours

4.9 hours - 4 hours = 0.9 hours

0.9 hours * (60 minutes)/(1 hour) = 54 minutes

4.9 hours = 4 hours 54 minutes

How do you do this question?
ankoles [38]

Step-by-step explanation:

S = ∫ 2π y ds

ds = √(1 + (dx/dy)²) dy

ds = √(1 + (8y)²) dy

ds = √(1 + 64y²) dy

S = ∫₁² 2π y √(1 + 64y²) dy

S = π/64 ∫₁² 128y √(1 + 64y²) dy

S = π/64 [⅔ (1 + 64y²)^(³/₂)] |₁²

S = π/96 (1 + 64y²)^(³/₂) |₁²

S = π/96 (1 + 256)^(³/₂) − π/96 (1 + 64)^(³/₂)

S = π/96 (257√257) − π/96 (65√65)

S = π/96 (257√257 − 65√65)
