Midpoint question......

It take 10 road workers 5 days to complete a road repair when working 2 hours a day.Working at the same Pace, how many days will

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

The workers will need 10 days to finish the job.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question we can use a compound rule of three. We have:

10 road workers -> 5 days -> 2h/day

2 road workers -> x days -> 5h/days

The first thing we should do is analyze how the proportions between the variables work, if they're inversely or directly proportional. If we raise the number of workers we expect that the amount of days needed to finish the job lowers and if we raise the number of hours worked in a day we expect that the workers would need less days to finish the job. So we need to invert the fractions that are inversely proportional to the amount of days worked, then we have:

2 -> 5 -> 5

10-> x -> 2

x = (5*2*10)/(2*5) = 100/10 = 10 days

Assume you have noted the following prices for books and the number of pages that each book contains. Book Pages (x) Price (y) A

belka [17]

Answer:

a) $y=0.00991 x +1.042$

b) $r^2 = 0.7503^2 = 0.563$

c) $r=\frac{7(30095)-(4210)(49)}{\sqrt{[7(2595100) -(4210)^2][7(354) -(49)^2]}}=0.7503$

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given

x: 500, 700, 750, 590 , 540, 650, 480

y: 7.00, 7.50 , 9.00, 6.5, 7.50 , 7.0, 4.50

Part a

We want to create a linear model like this :

$y = mx +b$

Wehre

$m=\frac{S_{xy}}{S_{xx}}$

And:

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}$

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}$

With these we can find the sums:

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}=2595100-\frac{4210^2}{7}=63085.714$

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i){n}}=30095-\frac{4210*49}{7}=625$

And the slope would be:

$m=\frac{625}{63085.714}=0.00991$

Nowe we can find the means for x and y like this:

$\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{4210}{7}=601.429$

$\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{49}{7}=7$

And we can find the intercept using this:

$b=\bar y -m \bar x=7-(0.00991*601.429)=1.042$

And the line would be:

$y=0.00991 x +1.042$

Part b

The correlation coefficient is given by:

$r=\frac{n(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2 -(\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2 -(\sum y)^2]}}$

For our case we have this:

n=7 $\sum x = 4210, \sum y = 49, \sum xy = 30095, \sum x^2 =2595100, \sum y^2 =354$

$r=\frac{7(30095)-(4210)(49)}{\sqrt{[7(2595100) -(4210)^2][7(354) -(49)^2]}}=0.7503$

The determination coefficient is given by:

$r^2 = 0.7503^2 = 0.563$

Part c

$r=\frac{7(30095)-(4210)(49)}{\sqrt{[7(2595100) -(4210)^2][7(354) -(49)^2]}}=0.7503$

What is the point-slope form of a line with slope 6 that contains the same point (1,2)

garri49 [273]

Step 1: Create an equation with a slope of 6
y=6x+b

Step 2: Substitute x and y by with the point (1,2) and solve the equation for b
y=6x+b
2=6(1)
2=6
2=6+b
b=-4

Step 3: Substitute -4 for b in the equation
y=6x+b
y=6x+(-4)
y=6x-4

The equation that has a slope of 6 and passes through the point (1,2) in point-slope form:
y=6x-4
