The least-square regression line has a slope of:
m=(nΣxy-ΣyΣx)/(nΣx²-ΣxΣx)
and a y-intercept of:
b=(Σy-mΣx)/n
In this case: n=7, Σxy=4899, Σy=391, Σx=85, Σx²=1153 so
m=(7(4899)-391*85)/(7(1153)-85*85))=1058/846
b=(391*846-85*1058)/(7*846)=34408/846
So the line of best fit is:
y=(1058x+34408)/846 and if we approximated this as your answers see to have done....
y=1.25x+40.67
There are three steps:<span>
1.)Rearrange the equation so "y" is on the left and everything else on the right.
2.)Plot the "y=" line (make it a solid line for y≤ or y≥, and a dashed line for y< or y>)
<span>
3.)Shade above the line for a "greater than" (y> or y≥) or below the line for a "less than" (y< or y≤).</span></span>
Answer:
no solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
10x+2y=42
5x+y=20
Multiply the second equation by -2 to use elimination
-2(5x+y)=20*-2
-10x -2y = -40
Add this to the first equation
10x+2y=42
-10x -2y = -40
--------------------------
0 = 2
This is never true. This means there are no solutions
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
A. is wrong because having a different height for each seedling and not trying to keep it equal is simply worse than making sure the heights are identical.
B. Completely wrong because it would likely result in 1 plot having more melon seedlings than the other.
C. Correct because it makes sure the seedlings are the same height at the beginning of the experiment, allowing less randomness in the experiment.
D. Putting the taller of a each pair for 1 plot makes it the experiment rigged in favor of the plot with taller seedlings
E. Same issue as D.
The Answer is 2/3
Steps: 1/4(1-(2/3^2+1/3)
