Answer:

Positive: Decimals are a part of a whole just like fractions are a part of a whole. Therefore, a positive decimal is always greater than a negative decimal.

Negative: When you have two negative decimals, the one closer to zero is always greater. The farther a negative decimal is from zero, the smaller its value.

All of it put together (same text as above):

Decimals are a part of a whole just like fractions are a part of a whole. Therefore, a positive decimal is ALWAYS greater than a negative decimal. When you have two negative decimals, the one closer to zero is always greater. The farther a negative decimal is from zero, the smaller its value.

If a given data point is (1,4) and the line of best fit is y = 1.5x + 3.25, what's the residual value?

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

The residual value is -0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The residual value is the observed value minus the predicted value.

RESIDUAL VALUE=[OBSERVED VALUE-PREDICTED VALUE]

where

Predicted value.--> the predicted value given the current regression equation

Observed value. --> The observed value for the dependent variable.

in this problem

we have the point (1,4)

The observed value is 4

<em>Find the predicted value for x=1 </em>

$y =1.5(1)+3.25=4.75$

predicted value is 4.75

RESIDUAL VALUE=(4-4.75)=-0.75

Please help and EXPLAIN

Okay, all of these pairs add up to 1 or 100%, except for one pair. I'll convert them all to decimals, so all must add up to 1.

3/8 = 0.375
0.625 + 0.375 = 1

62% = 0.62
0.38 + 0.62 = 1

7/8 = 0.875
0.875 + 0.125 = 1

70% = 0.70
1/3 <span>≈</span> 0.33
0.70 + 0.33 = 1.03

So the last pair of probabilities(70%, 1/3) does not belong with the other three because it does not add up to 1 like the others.

Answer:while reflecting over x-axis, only y value change. all y values is going to change sign, I.e positive will become negative and negative becomea positive

this is how you reflect over x axis,
