Method of Least Squares, Evaluation of Cost Equation Lassiter Company used the method of least squares to develop a cost equatio

n to predict the cost of moving materials. There were 80 data points for the regression, and the following computer output was generated:
Intercept $17,350
Slope 12.00
Coefficient of correlation 0.92
Standard error $220
The activity driver used was the number of moves.
Required:
1. What is the cost formula?
2. Using the cost formula, predictthe costofmovingmaterialsif340movesaremade.Nowpreparea95 percent con?dence interval forth is prediction.(Round to the nearest dollar.)
3. What percentage of the variability in moving cost is explained by the number of moves? Do you think the equation will predict well? Why or why not?

Solution :

1). The cost of the formula is given as :

   $ 19,350 + $12 x

2). 95% \text{confidence interval} for the prediction is :

    $21430 - 1.96 \times 220 < \text{Yf} < 21430+1.96 \times 220$

     $20998.8 < \text{Yf} < 21861.2$

     $20999 < \text{Yf} < 21861$    (rounding off)

3). r = 0.92

Therefore, $r^2 = 0.8464$

That is 84.64 % of the variability in the moving cost is best explained by the number of moves.

Which of the following measures cannot be determined from a box plot?
ad-work [718]
<h3>3 Answers:</h3>
  • B) Mean
  • C) Mean absolute deviation
  • E) Mode

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

Explanation:

The box plot, aka "box-and-whisker plot", visually represents five things. These things are:

  • Minimum
  • Q1 = first quartile
  • Median (sometimes referred to as Q2 or second quartile)
  • Q3 = third quartile
  • Maximum

This list of five items is known as the five number summary.

The min is the tip of the left most whisker, assuming there aren't any small outliers. The max is the opposite side, being the tip of the right most whisker (assuming no large outliers). If there are any outliers, then they'll be shown as "island" dots on their own separated from the main box plot. The left and right edges of the box are Q1 and Q3 respectively. The median is the vertical line inside the box. The vertical line does not have to be at the midpoint of the left and right edges of the box. It simply needs to be somewhere in the box.

--------

Since the box plot lets us know the min and max, we can compute the range because

range = max - min

and we can also calculate the interquartile range (IQR) because

IQR = Q3 - Q1

--------

So to summarize so far, the five number summary is visually represented as the box plot. The range and IQR can be computed using items from the five number summary.

We cannot compute the mean because we would need the actual data set of values, rather than the summary data. The same goes for the mean absolute deviation (MAD) and the mode. Since your teacher is looking for things that cannot be determined from a box plot, we'll go for answers B, C and E.

In other words, we rule out choices A, D, and F because we can compute or determine those values from a box plot.

Which equation represents the volume of a cone with the same base and height as the cylinder below? A cylinder with a height k a
Igoryamba

Answer: The correct answer is Volume Cone = one-third pi t squared k

Step-by-step explanation: The first important detail to note here is that both cylinder and cone have the same base and the same height This implies that when writing out the formula for calculating the volume of either of the two shapes, the radius and the height will be the same number or value.

The volume of a cylinder is given as;

Volume cylinder = pi x r squared x h (that is πr²h)

Also the volume of a cone is given as;

Volume cone = one-third x pi x r squared x h (that is 1/3*πr²h)

However, the variables have been changed such that the radius r is now represented by t while the height h is now represented by k.

Therefore the volume of the cone should now be re-written as;

Volume cone = one-third pi t squared k <em>(that is 1/3 *πt²k)</em>
