The answer to this is a=3
Using a calculator, the equation for the line of best fit where x represents the month and y represents the time is given by:
a. y = −1.74x + 46.6
<h3>How to find the equation of linear regression using a calculator?</h3>
To find the equation, we need to insert the points (x,y) in the calculator.
For this problem, the points (x,y) are given as follows, from the given table:
(1, 46), (2, 42), (3,40), (4, 41), (5, 38), (6,36).
Hence, inserting these points in the calculator, the equation for the line of best fit where x represents the month and y represents the time is given by:
a. y = −1.74x + 46.6

Answer: A. 
B. A'(5) = 1.76 cm/s
Step-by-step explanation: <u>Rate</u> <u>of</u> <u>change</u> measures the slope of a curve at a certain instant, therefore, rate is the derivative.
A. Area of a circle is given by
So to find the rate of the area:
Using 
Then
![\frac{dA}{dt}=2.\pi.r.[\frac{726}{(t+11)^{3}}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7BdA%7D%7Bdt%7D%3D2.%5Cpi.r.%5B%5Cfrac%7B726%7D%7B%28t%2B11%29%5E%7B3%7D%7D%5D)
![\frac{dA}{dt}=2.\pi.[3-\frac{363}{(t+11)^{2}}].\frac{726}{(t+11)^{3}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7BdA%7D%7Bdt%7D%3D2.%5Cpi.%5B3-%5Cfrac%7B363%7D%7B%28t%2B11%29%5E%7B2%7D%7D%5D.%5Cfrac%7B726%7D%7B%28t%2B11%29%5E%7B3%7D%7D)
Multipying and simplifying:
The rate at which the area is increasing is given by expression 
.
B. At t = 5, rate is:
At 5 seconds, the area is expanded at a rate of 1.76 cm/s.
Based on the given scenario above wherein the quality control analyst just inspects the first 100 items produced that day in order to avoid staying after work, the sampling method that she used is the CONVENIENCE SAMPLING METHOD. Hope this helps.
