The Coast Starlight Amtrak train runs from Seattle to Los Angeles. The mean travel time from one stop to the next on the Coast S

tarlight is 129 mins, with a standard deviation of 113 minutes. The mean distance traveled from one stop to the next is 108 miles with a standard deviation of 99 miles. The correlation between travel time and distance is 0.636.
Required:
a. Write the equation of the regression line from predicting travel time.
b. Interpret the slope and the intercept in this context.
c. Calculate R2 of the regression line for predicting travel time from distance traveled for the Coast Starlight, and interpret R2 in the context of the application.

Solution :

a).

Given :

R = 0.636, $S_x = 99$, $S_y=113, M_x=108, M_y=129$

Here R = correlation between the two variables

        $S_x , S_y$ =  sample standard deviations of the distance and travel time between the two train stops, respectively.

      $M_x, M_y$ = means of the distance and travel between two train stops respectively.

The slope of the regression line is given by :

Regression line, b_1  $=R \times \left(\frac{S_y}{S_x}\right)$

                            $=0.636 \times \left(\frac{113}{99}\right)$

                            = 0.726

Therefore, the slope of the regression line b_1 is 0.726

The equation of the regression line is given by :

$\overline {y} = b_0+b_1 \overline x$

The regression line also has to pass through the two means. That is, it has to pass through points (108, 129). Substituting these values in the equation of the regression line, we can get the value of the line y-intercept.

The y-intercept of the regression line $b_0$ is given by :

$b_0=M_y-(b_1 \times M_x)$

  = 129 - (0.726 x 108)

  = 50.592

Therefore, the equation of the line is :

Travel time = 20.592 + 0.726 x distance

b).\text{ The slope of the line predicts that it will require 0.726 minutes} for each additional mile travelled.

The intercept of the line, $b_0$ = 0.529 can be seen as the time when the distance travelled is zero. It does not make much sense in this context because  it seems we have travelled zero  distance in 50.529 minutes, but we could interpret it as that the wait time after which we start travelling and calculating the distance travelled and the additional time required per mile. Or we could view the intercept value as the time it takes to walk to the train station before we board the train. So this is a fixed quantity that will be added to travel time. It all depends on the interpretation.

c). $R^2=0.404$

This means that the model accounts for around 40.4% variation in the travel time.

How many different permutations can you make with the letters in the word s e v e n t e e n ? A. 7,560 B. 17! C. 15,120 D. 3,780
Bess [88]

I'm not 100% sure if I'm doing it the right way, but I think the answer is the factorial of the number of letters divided by the factorials of the number of elements of each kind of element (in this case, the same letters)


9!/1!4!1!2!1!

= 9 · 8 · 7 · 6 · 5 · 4!/4!2!

= 9 · 8 · 7 · 6 · 5/2

= 9 · 4 · 7 · 6 · 5

= 63 · 120


= 7,560 permutations

Complete the equation of the lines whose slope is 5 and y-intercept is (0,4)<br>y = ?
Dimas [21]

Answer:

y = 5x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

y - 4 = 5(x - 0)

That is point-slope form. I'm not sure if you want it in slope intercept form, but slope intercept form of the equation is -

y = 5x + 4
