The length of pathway is 10 inches on map.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total distance = 350 miles

According to map,

1 inch = 35 miles

Let, x be the number of inches on map.

Therefore, using proportion;

Inch : mile :: inch : mile

$1:35::x:350\\$

Product of mean = Product of extreme

$35*x=350*1\\35x=350\\$

Dividing both sides by 35;

$\frac{35x}{35}=\frac{350}{35}\\x=10$

The length of pathway is 10 inches on map.

5x-60 = -60 +2x +3x how many solutions does the equation have

xeze [42]

Answer:

$infinitely \: many \: solution$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Cancle -60 on both sides.

$5x = 2x + 3x$

2) Simplify 2x + 3x to 5x.

$5x = 5x$

3) Since both sides are equal, there are infinitely many solutions.

$infinietly \: many \: solution$

Therefor, this equation has infinitely many solutions.

Determine whether the statements are True or False. Justify your answer with an explanation.

Problem 1

<h3>Answer: False</h3>

---------------------------------

Explanation:

The notation (f o g)(x) means f( g(x) ). Here g(x) is the inner function.

So,

f(x) = x+1

f( g(x) ) = g(x) + 1 .... replace every x with g(x)

f( g(x) ) = 6x+1 ... plug in g(x) = 6x

(f o g)(x) = 6x+1

Now let's flip things around

g(x) = 6x

g( f(x) ) = 6*( f(x) ) .... replace every x with f(x)

g( f(x) ) = 6(x+1) .... plug in f(x) = x+1

g( f(x) ) = 6x+6

(g o f)(x) = 6x+6

This shows that (f o g)(x) = (g o f)(x) is a false equation for the given f(x) and g(x) functions.

===============================================

Problem 2

<h3>Answer: True</h3>

---------------------------------

Explanation:

Let's say that g(x) produced a number that wasn't in the domain of f(x). This would mean that f( g(x) ) would be undefined.

For example, let

f(x) = 1/(x+2)

g(x) = -2

The g(x) function will always produce the output -2 regardless of what the input x is. Feeding that -2 output into f(x) leads to 1/(x+2) = 1/(-2+2) = 1/0 which is undefined.

So it's important that the outputs of g(x) line up with the domain of f(x). Outputs of g(x) must be valid inputs of f(x).

Suppose you are interested in the effect of skipping lectures (in days missed) on college grades. You also have ACT scores and h

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

a) For this case the intercept of 2.52 represent a common effect of measure for any student without taking in count the other variables analyzed, and we know that if HSGPA=0, ACT= 0 and skip =0 we got $colGPA=2.52$

b) This value represent the effect into the ACT scores in the GPA, we know that:

$\hat \beta_{ACT} = 0.015$

So then for every unit increase in the ACT score we expect and increase of 0.015 in the GPA or the predicted variable

c) If we are interested in analyze if we have a significant relationship between the dependent and the independent variable we can use the following system of hypothesis:

Null Hypothesis: $\beta_i = 0$

Alternative hypothesis: $\beta_i \neq 0$

Or in other wouds we want to check if an specific slope is significant.

The significance level assumed for this case is $\alpha=0.05$

Th degrees of freedom for a linear regression is given by $df=n-p-1 = 45-3-1 = 41$ , where p =3 the number of variables used to estimate the dependent variable.

In order to test the hypothesis the statistic is given by:

$t=\frac{\hat \beta_i}{SE_{\beta_i}}$

And replacing we got:

$t = \frac{-0.5}{0.0001}=-5000$

And for this case we see that if we find the p value for this case we will get a value very near to 0, so then we can conclude that this coefficient would be significant for the regression model .

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following multiple regression model calculated:

colGPA =2.52+0.38*HSGPA+0.015*ACT-0.5*skip

Part a

(a) Interpret the intercept in this model.

For this case the intercept of 2.52 represent a common effect of measure for any student without taking in count the other variables analyzed, and we know that if HSGPA=0, ACT= 0 and skip =0 we got $colGPA=2.52$

(b) Interpret $\hat \beta_{ACT}$ from this model.

This value represent the effect into the ACT scores in the GPA, we know that:

$\hat \beta_{ACT} = 0.015$

So then for every unit increase in the ACT score we expect and increase of 0.015 in the GPA or the predicted variable

(c) What is the predicted college GPA for someone who scored a 25 on the ACT, had a 3.2 high school GPA and missed 4 lectures. Show your work.

For this case we can use the regression model and we got:

$colGPA =2.52 +0.38*3.2 +0.015*25 - 0.5*4 = 26.751$

(d) Is the estimate of skipping class statistically significant? How do you know? Is the estimate of skipping class economically significant? How do you know? (Hint: Suppose there are 45 lectures in a typical semester long class).

If we are interested in analyze if we have a significant relationship between the dependent and the independent variable we can use the following system of hypothesis:

Null Hypothesis: $\beta_i = 0$

Alternative hypothesis: $\beta_i \neq 0$

Or in other wouds we want to check if an specific slope is significant.

The significance level assumed for this case is $\alpha=0.05$

Th degrees of freedom for a linear regression is given by $df=n-p-1 = 45-3-1 = 41$ , where p =3 the number of variables used to estimate the dependent variable.

$t=\frac{\hat \beta_i}{SE_{\beta_i}}$

And replacing we got:

$t = \frac{-0.5}{0.0001}=-5000$

And for this case we see that if we find the p value for this case we will get a value very near to 0, so then we can conclude that this coefficient would be significant for the regression model .
