1) 112 m

Answer:

2) 240 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of pieces be 5x, 3x and 7x m.

Where 3x is the shortest piece and 7x is the longest piece.

According to the given condition:

7x - 3x = 64

4x = 64

x = 64/4

x = 16 m

1) Length of longest piece = 7x = 7* 16 = 112 m

2) length of the Electrical cord in meters before it was cut = 5x + 3x + 7x = 15x = 15*16 =240 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the pieces 5x, 3x, and 7x respectively. The longest (7x) and shortest (3x) pieces had a difference of 64 cm. Therefore, 7x - 3x = 64 → 4x = 64 → x = 16 cm. We know that the longest piece is 7x, so its length is 7 * 16 = 112 cm. As for the total length of the cord, we can express it as 5x + 3x + 7x = 15x, which is 15 * 16 = 240 cm. Hope this helps!

A company performs linear regressions to compare data sets for two similar
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Based on the information given, the thing that can be concluded is that Brand A's data are probably linear while Brand B's data are probably not.

<h3>What is a Linear regression?</h3>

It should be noted that a linear regression simply shows the relationship between the dependent and independent variables.

If residuals for brand A are randomly scattered above and below the x-axis, and the residuals for brand B are also randomly scattered but clustered closer to the x-axis, it implies that brand A's data are probably linear while Brand B's data are probably not.

A random scatter of points on the residual plot simply implies that there's a linear relationship in the original data set.
