An employer uses the linear regression equation y = 0.18 x + 320.22 to predict the weekly salary, y, of an employee who sells x

dollars worth of merchandise. Last week, Joaquin sold $1500 worth of merchandise. The same week, Alex earned $650. Using the regression equation, which is an accurate comparison? Alex sold merchandise worth about $60 more than what Joaquin sold. Joaquin sold merchandise worth about $60 more than what Joaquin sold. Alex earned about $60 more than Joaquin did.

Answer:

Option C is correct.

Alex earned about $60 more than Joaquin did.

Step-by-step explanation:

The linear regression equation

y = 0.18 x + 320.22

is used to predict the weekly salary, y, of an employee who sells x dollars worth of merchandise.

Joaquin sold $1500 worth of goods. Meaning that x for that week for Joaquin is 1500.

Joaquin' s salary for that week is then given as

y = 0.18x + 320.22

y = 0.18(1500) + 320.22 = 590.22

Hence, Joaquin's salary for that week = $590.22

Alex earns $650 that week. Meaning that y for Alex in that week = 650

y = 0.18x + 320.22

650 = 0.18x + 320.22

0.18x = 650 - 320.22 = 329.78

x = (329.78/0.18) = 1832.1

Hence, Alex sold goods worth $1832.1 that week.

Joaquin sold goods worth $1500

Joaquin earned $590.22

Alex sold goods worth $1832.1

Alex earned $650

From this calculation, it is evident that 'Alex earned about $60 more than Joaquin did' is the correct option as $650 is about $60 more than $590.22

Hope this Helps!!!

Find the probability of exactly three successes in six trials of a binomial experiment in which the the probability of is 50%.
Lyrx [107]

Start by doing the binomial expansion of (x+y)^6 where x represents success. This is

(x^6y^0) + 6(x^5y^1) +15(x^4y^2) +20(x^3y^3) +15(x^2y^4) +6(x^1y^5) +(x^0y^6)

We are interested in the x^3y^3 term which represents exactly 3 sucesses. Since the probalbility of sucess and failure are both .5 we should be able to figure this out just using the coefficients of the terms which is

20/64 = .3125 which is 31.25%

Pls help with this problem
madam [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

every triangle inscribed into a circle with the baseline being a diameter of the circle must be a right-angled triangle.

therefore,

angle XVY = 90°.

for VY we can use Pythagoras

c² = a² + b²

with c being the Hypotenuse (the line opposite of the 90° angle, in our case XY).

XY = 2×ZY = 2×17 = 34.

so,

34² = 30² + VY²

VY² = 34² - 30² = 1156 - 900 = 256

VY = 16
