The Coast Starlight Amtrak train runs from Seattle to Los Angeles. The mean travel time from one stop to the next on the Coast S

Goshia [24]

Solution :

a).

Given :

R = 0.636, $S_x = 99$ , $S_y=113, M_x=108, M_y=129$

Here R = correlation between the two variables

$S_x , S_y$ = sample standard deviations of the distance and travel time between the two train stops, respectively.

$M_x, M_y$ = means of the distance and travel between two train stops respectively.

The slope of the regression line is given by :

Regression line, $b_1$ $=R \times \left(\frac{S_y}{S_x}\right)$

$=0.636 \times \left(\frac{113}{99}\right)$

= 0.726

Therefore, the slope of the regression line $b_1$ is 0.726

The equation of the regression line is given by :

$\overline {y} = b_0+b_1 \overline x$

The regression line also has to pass through the two means. That is, it has to pass through points (108, 129). Substituting these values in the equation of the regression line, we can get the value of the line y-intercept.

The y-intercept of the regression line $b_0$ is given by :

$b_0=M_y-(b_1 \times M_x)$

= 129 - (0.726 x 108)

= 50.592

Therefore, the equation of the line is :

Travel time = 20.592 + 0.726 x distance

b). $\text{ The slope of the line predicts that it will require 0.726 minutes}$ for each additional mile travelled.

The intercept of the line, $b_0$ = 0.529 can be seen as the time when the distance travelled is zero. It does not make much sense in this context because it seems we have travelled zero distance in 50.529 minutes, but we could interpret it as that the wait time after which we start travelling and calculating the distance travelled and the additional time required per mile. Or we could view the intercept value as the time it takes to walk to the train station before we board the train. So this is a fixed quantity that will be added to travel time. It all depends on the interpretation.

c). $R^2=0.404$

This means that the model accounts for around 40.4% variation in the travel time.

Lisa makes a cherry pie and an apple pie. She cuts the cherry pie into six equal wedges and she cuts the apple pie into eight eq

ale4655 [162]

Both the pies at first have 360* as their initial complete angles.

The Cherry Pie is cut into 6 parts equal and the angular width of each piece will be 360/6=60*...therefore, each piece is 60*.

the Apple Pie is cut into 8 parts and the angle of each piece would be 360/8=45*...therefore, each piece is 45*.

Now the angular difference between the pieces of the 2 pies is 60*-45* = 15*.

Therefore the Cherry pie's piece is 15* greater than the Apple pie's piece.

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the leg in the triangle shown below.

Natali [406]

The answer to what the length of the leg would be is 15.

You would do this problem by first writing down your Pythagorean Theorem, which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

Since we have our hypotenuse which is c^2 in our equation, we would write or insert the number we have.

So our equation could be that a or b leg equals 20, it doesn’t matter which one.

So we could write, 20^2 + b^2 = 25^2. So we don’t know what b leg is.

First we should figure out what 20^2 is and what 25^2 is.

20^2 is 400 and 25^2 is 625.

Our equation now comes to 400 + b^2 = 625.

Now we take 400 and subtract it from
625 -> 400 + b^2 = 625
-400.

So 625 - 400 comes out to be 225.

Lastly instead of squaring or putting 225 to the second power, we do the opposite.

So instead of squaring 225 we must square root 225. √ 225 .

The square root of √ 225 comes out to be 15.

Tickets to a school play are $4.50 for an adult and $3.00 for a student. If 300 tickets are sold and $1087.50 collected, how man

Kryger [21]

Answer:

<h2>125 tickets for an adult</h2><h2>and 175 tickets for a student</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

$a-\text{number of the tickets for an adult}\\s-\text{number of the tickets for a student}\\\\(1)\qquad a+s=300\\(2)\qquad4.5a+3s=1087.5\\------------\\(1)\\a+s=300\qquad\text{subtstitute}\ s\ \text{from both sides}\\a=300-s\\\\\text{Put it to (2):}\\\\4.5(300-s)+3s=1087.5\qquad\text{use distributive property}\\\\(4.5)(300)+(4.5)(-s)+3s=1087.5\\\\1350-4.5s+3s=1087.5\qquad\text{subtract 1350 from both sides}\\\\-1.5s=-262.5\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-1.5)}\\\\\boxed{s=175}$

$\text{Put the value of}\ s\ \text{to (1):}\\\\a=300-175\\\\\boxed{a=125}$

Given that ∠A and ∠B are supplementary, Daisy conjectured that ∠A≅∠B .

dexar [7]

When two angles are supplementary, that means that the sum of their individual angles is equal to a straight line, which is 180°. If you add another restriction where the two supplementary angles are equal, then each vale of the angle constitutes half of 180°. Then, that means that ∠A = ∠B = 90°. The answer is C.
