8 0

(Diagram of the box plots is attached below)

Options:

A. 75% of the volleyball players’ heights are equal to or greater than the median basketball players’ heights

B. 75% of the volleyball players’ heights are equal to or greater than the median basketball players’ heights

C. 25% of the basketball players’ heights are equal to or greater than the median volleyball players’ heights

D. 75% of the basketball players’ heights are equal to or greater than the median volleyball players’ heights

Answer:

D. 75% of the basketball players’ heights are equal to or greater than the median volleyball players’ heights

Step-by-step Explanation:

Based on the box plots given in the diagram attached below, the median height of volleyball players is 79.

Also, from the data set of basketball players, we can approximately infer that the heights from Q2, Q3, and Q4 make up 75% of the data set of the heights of basketball players.

Heights at Q2 in the data set of basketball players starts from 79, which is equal to the median height of volleyball players.

Therefore, from the displays, we can conclude that "75% of the basketball players’ heights are equal to or greater than the median volleyball players’ heights".

Solve x^2 +14x=15 by completing the square
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

x = -15 and x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have to use the complete the square method, we first need to <u>rewrite the equation</u> in the form x^{2}+2ax+a^{2}=(x+a)^{2}.

This results in x^{2} + 14x + 7^{2} = 15 + 7^{2}.

Next, we <u>simplify the equation</u> to get x^{2} +14x+7^{2} = 64.

<u>Factoring </u>the left side gives us (x+7)^{2} = 64.

Finally we <u>solve the equations</u>: x+7=\sqrt{64} and x+7=-\sqrt{64}.

This gives us  x=1, and x=-15

If five times the successor of a number is added to an original number the sum is 83
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

Let the original number be x

Successor is defined as the number which comes immediately after a particular number.

also, the  successor of a whole number is the number obtained by adding 1 to that number.

Then, the successor of a number x is, x+1

As per the given condition :

we have;

5(x+1)+x =83

Using distributive property on LHS (i.e, a\cdot(b+c)=a\cdot b+a\cdot c )

Then, we have

5x+5+x=83

Combine like terms;

6x+5=83

Subtract 5 from both the sides we get;

6x+5-5=83-5

Simplify:

6x=78

Divide both side by 6,

\frac{6x}{6} =\frac{78}{6}

Simplify:

x =13

Therefore, the original number x is, 13

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

(a) See below

(b) r = 0.9879  

(c) y = -12.629 + 0.0654x

(d) See below

(e) No.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Plot the data

I used Excel to plot your data and got the graph in Fig 1 below.

(b) Correlation coefficient

One formula for the correlation coefficient is  

r = \dfrac{\sum{xy} - \sum{x} \sum{y}}{\sqrt{\left [n\sum{x}^{2}-\left (\sum{x}\right )^{2}\right]\left [n\sum{y}^{2} -\left (\sum{y}\right )^{2}\right]}}

The calculation is not difficult, but it is tedious.

(i) Calculate the intermediate numbers

We can display them in a table.

<u>    x   </u>    <u>      y     </u>   <u>       xy     </u>    <u>              x²    </u>   <u>       y²    </u>

   36       0.22              7.92               1296           0.05

   67        0.62            42.21              4489           0.40

   93         1.00            93.00           20164           3.46

 433        11.8          5699.4          233289        139.24

 887      29.3         25989.1          786769       858.49

1785      82.0        146370          3186225      6724

2797     163.0         455911         7823209    26569

<u>3675 </u>  <u> 248.0  </u>    <u>   911400      </u>  <u>13505625</u>   <u> 61504        </u>

9965   537.81     1545776.75  25569715   95799.63

(ii) Calculate the correlation coefficient

r = \dfrac{\sum{xy} - \sum{x} \sum{y}}{\sqrt{\left [n\sum{x}^{2}-\left (\sum{x}\right )^{2}\right]\left [n\sum{y}^{2} -\left (\sum{y}\right )^{2}\right]}}\\\\= \dfrac{9\times 1545776.75 - 9965\times 537.81}{\sqrt{[9\times 25569715 -9965^{2}][9\times 95799.63 - 537.81^{2}]}} \approx \mathbf{0.9879}

(c) Regression line

The equation for the regression line is

y = a + bx where

a = \dfrac{\sum y \sum x^{2} - \sum x \sum xy}{n\sum x^{2}- \left (\sum x\right )^{2}}\\\\= \dfrac{537.81\times 25569715 - 9965 \times 1545776.75}{9\times 25569715 - 9965^{2}} \approx \mathbf{-12.629}\\\\b = \dfrac{n \sum xy  - \sum x \sum y}{n\sum x^{2}- \left (\sum x\right )^{2}} -  \dfrac{9\times 1545776.75  - 9965 \times 537.81}{9\times 25569715 - 9965^{2}} \approx\mathbf{0.0654}\\\\\\\text{The equation for the regression line is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{y = -12.629 + 0.0654x}}$}

(d) Residuals

Insert the values of x into the regression equation to get the estimated values of y.

Then take the difference between the actual and estimated values to get the residuals.

<u>    x    </u>   <u>      y     </u>   <u>Estimated</u>   <u>Residual </u>

    36        0.22        -10                 10

    67        0.62          -8                  9

    93        1.00           -7                  8

   142        1.86           -3                  5

  433       11.8             19               -  7

  887     29.3             45               -16  

 1785     82.0            104              -22

2797    163.0            170               -  7

3675   248.0            228               20

(e) Suitability of regression line

A linear model would have the residuals scattered randomly above and below a horizontal line.

Instead, they appear to lie along a parabola (Fig. 2).

This suggests that linear regression is not a good model for the data.
