In many fast food restaurants, there is a strong correlation between a menu item's fat content (measured in grams) and its calor

ie content. We want to investigate this relationship. Using all of the food menue items at a well known fast food restuarant, the fat content and calorie contents were measured. We decide to fit the LSRL to the data, with fat content (x) as the explanatory variable and (y) as the response variable. One of the menu items is a hamburger with 107 grams of fat and 1410 calories.
r = correlation between x and y = 0.979
x bar = mean of the values of x = 40.35 grams
y bar = mean of values of y = 662.88 calories
sx = standard deviation of the values of x = 27.99 grams
sy = standard devation of the values of y = 324.90 calories
1) The slope of the least-squares regressin line is:_______.
a. 11.36
b. 11.36
c. 0.979
d. 16.08
2) The intercept of the least-squares regression line is:__________.
a. 204.50
b. 662.88
c. 662.88
d. none of the above
3) Refer to teh example data poin (107 grams, 1410 calories), what is the residual corresponding to this observation?
a. 10 calories
b. 10 grams
c. 10 calories
d. 10 grams

Answer:

1. The slope of the least-squares regressin line is 11.364

2. The intercept of the least-squares regression line is 204.343

3. The residual corresponding to this observation is -10 calories

Step-by-step explanation:

1. In order to calculate the slope of the least-squares regressin line we would have to use the following formula:

slope of the least-squares regressin line=r*sy/sx

Therefore, slope=0.979*324.90/27.99

slope=11.364

2. In order to calculate the intercept of the least-squares regression line we would have to use the following formula:

intercept of the least-squares regression line=ybar - slope*xbar

intercept=662.88 - 11.364*40.35

intercept=204.343

3. In order to calculate the the residual corresponding to this observation we would have to use the following formula:

residual = observed y - predicted y

predicted y=11.364*x + 204.343

if the x value is 7, therefore predicted y=11.364*107 + 204.343

predicted y=1,420

Therefore, residual=1410 calories - 1420 calories

residual=-10 calories

A manufacturer keeps track of her monthly costs by using a “cost function” that assigns a total cost for a given number of manuf
ladessa [460]
<h3>2000 items cost $ 7500</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

The function is:

C(x) = 1500 + 3x

Where,

C(x) is the total cost

"x" is the number of manufactured items

<em><u>How much would 2,000 items cost</u></em>

Substitute x = 2000 in given function

C(2000) = 1500 + 3(2000)

C(2000) = 1500 + 6000

C(2000) = 7500

Thus 2000 items cost $ 7500

Please I can't get this wrong. my dad will beat me.

Check the picture below.

the hole on te red one, means that endpoint is not included in it, namely x = 1 is not part of it, namely x > 1, anything greater BUT not equals to "x".

likewise, the solid circle on the blue one means, that endpoint is included, namely x ⩽ 1, anything lesser than 1, including the x = 1 itself, so x = 1, x = 0, x = -1, x = -2.....

Find the area of the shapes below. Make sure to label your answers with units.
maw [93]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>Area of shapes</h2><h3> a) Triangle</h3>

  base = b = 7  km

  altitude or height = h = 3.8 km

     \sf \boxed{\text{\bf Area of triangle =$\dfrac{1}{2}b*h$ }}

                                    = \dfrac{1}{2}*7*3.8\\\\= 7 * 1.9\\\\= 13.3 \ km^2

<h3>b) Rectangle:</h3>

     length = l = 8.2 cm

     width  = w = 7 cm

      \sf \boxed{\text{\bf Area of rectangle = l*w}}

                                        = 8.2 * 7

                                        = 57.4 cm²

<h3>c) Parallelogram</h3>

            base = b = 9.1 km

           height = h = 5 km

\sf \boxed{\text{\bf Area of parallellogram =b*h}}

                                          = 9.1 * 5

                                          = 45.5 km²

<h3>d) Trapezium</h3>

           Parallel sides a = 8.9 m  & b =  2.7 m

           height = h = 4.2 m

\sf \boxed{\text{\bf Area of trapezium =$\dfrac{(a +b)*h}{2}$}}

                                   \sf =\dfrac{(8.9+2.7)*4.2}{2}\\\\=\dfrac{11.6*4.2}{2}\\\\= 5.8 * 4.2\\\\= 24.36 \ m^2
