Step-by-step  Explanation:

Part A: Algebraically write the equation of the best fit line in slope-intercept form. Include all of your calculations in your final answer.

Considering the data

Age (in years)                Weight (in pounds)

2                                                32

6                                                 47

7                                                 51

4                                                 40

5                                                 43

3                                                 38

8                                                 60

1                                                  23

Considering the slope intercept form

y = mx + b

where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.

Taking two points, lets say (2, 32) and (8, 60)

as

\mathrm{Slope\:between\:two\:points}:\quad \mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(2,\:32\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(8,\:60\right)

m=\frac{60-32}{8-2}

m=\frac{14}{3}

so

y = mx + b

\:\:32\:=\:\left(\frac{14}{3}\right)2\:+\:b

\mathrm{Switch\:sides}

\left(\frac{14}{3}\right)\cdot \:2+b=32

b=\frac{68}{3}

Thus

y = mx + b

as

m=\frac{14}{3} and b=\frac{68}{3}

substituting in the slop-intercept form

y=\left(\frac{14}{3}\right)x+\left(\frac{68}{3}\right)

Therefore, y=\left(\frac{14}{3}\right)x+\left(\frac{68}{3}\right) is the equation of the best fit line in slope-intercept form.

Part B: Use the equation for the line of best fit to approximate the weight of the little girl at an age of 14 years old.

As the equation of line is

y=\left(\frac{14}{3}\right)x+\left(\frac{68}{3}\right)

So in order to find the weight of the little girl at an age of 14 years old, put

x = 14 in the above equation.

as

y=\left(\frac{14}{3}\right)x+\left(\frac{68}{3}\right)

y=\left(\frac{14}{3}\right)\left(14\right)+\left(\frac{68}{3}\right)          ∵  x = 14

\:y=88

Therefore, the approximate weight of the little girl at an age of 14 years old will be 88 pounds.

A number cube is rolled three times. What is the probability of rolling a number less than 3 each time?
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

1/27

Step-by-step explanation:

The outcomes when rolling a die are 1,2,3,4,5,6

getting less than 3 = 1,2

P( less than 3) = outcomes of less than 3 / total

                        = 2/6 = 1/3

Since the events are independent we can multiply the probabilities

P( less than 3, less than 3, less than 3) = 1/3 * 1/3*1/3 = 1/27

Create a system of equations to solve
antiseptic1488 [7]
R=2K which equals 2R=4K
4(R=K+8) or 4R=4K+32

Subtract first equation from second equation.
2R=32 so R=16

Plug into first equation
16=2K so K=8

Now plug both into second equation to check
4R-4K=4(R-K)=4(8)=32 it works

So Roberto is 16 and Katie is 8
(In 4 years R would be 20 and K would be 12 which has a difference of 8)

A projectile is fired at 571 mi hr. How fast is that in meters per second to the nearest whole value? Use the conversion factor
ELEN [110]

Answer:

Consider this: factors that are the same that are in the numerator and denominator of a fraction cancel out.

e.g. 20/30 = [2(10)]/[3(10)] = 2/3      This is because the 10 present in the numerator exactly equals the 10 present in the denominator.

We can use the above principle for these types of problems!

If the projectile is fired at 422 mi/hr, and we want to convert this speed into m/s, we just need to go through the following process:

422 mi/hr * 1610m/1mi * 1hr/60min * 1min/60s = 189 m/s
