Answer:

6  "surprise" flavors jellybeans

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given:

The bag contained a mixture of regular flavored jellybeans and "surprise" jellybeans.

There are 40 jellybeans in the bag.

If 15% of the jellybean were "surprise" flavors.

Then, the number of expected "surprise" jellybeans will be:

= 15% of 40 jellybeans

= (15/100) × 40

= 6  "surprise" flavors jellybeans

If  6 surprise jellybean is contained in the bag;

Thus, the number of regular flavored jellybean will be

= 40 - 6

= 34 regular flavored jellybean

likoan [24]

Answer:

  2

Step-by-step explanation:

  To be divisible by 6, an even number must also be divisible by 3. Two of every three even numbers are <em>not</em> divisible by 3, so are not divisible by 6.

Recall the Akaike information Criterion (AIC) as well as the related Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) from our study of Vari
irga5000 [103]

Step-by-step explanation:

To check out how efficient or accurate a model is, we use the akaike information criterion or the Bayesian. If the AIC or BIC are lower, then this model would be better. They are also used to control for model complexity

Akaike information criterion = 2k-2ln where k is the number of parameter. A higher k gives a higher AIC.

In the real world complex models are discouraged and avoided since

1. They cause data to be over fitted and can capture noise and information from this data.

2. They are complex and therefore difficult to interpret

3. They consume a lot of time and computing them has several inefficiencies.

Using these two as measure of performance, we can select optimal choice of independent variable.

With forward/backward regression, we are able to put new variables in the model or remove from it. The best is the one with lowest AIC.
