Answer:
I think it's A
Step-by-step explanation:
Please correct me if I'm wrong
You don't say whether this is a right triangle or not.
Assuming it is a right triangle, then we use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine the length of the hypotenuse:
(hypo) = (length of third side) = √(12^2 + 4^2) = √(144+16) = √160 = 4√10.
This is approx. 12.65 inches. Since this does not match any of the possible answer choices, we'll have to take a different approach to answering this question.
Given that 2 sides of the given triangle are 12 and 4 inches, respectively, we see that the 3rd side has to be longer than 8 inches; otherwise we'd have three line segments on the same line, not forming a triangle.
By this reasoning, 9 inches is the only possible answer that could be correct. With sides 12, 9 and 4 inches, the triangle would be obtuse and appear quite flat, but not be part of a straight line as with a third side of 8.
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.
Ex: you can do 5-3 by putting a dot on the five and looping back 3 spaces. Hope it helps!
