In an area of Russia records were kept on the relationship between the rainfall (in inches) and the yield of wheat (bushels per

acre). The data for a 9 year period is as follows:
Rain Fall, x 13.1 11.4 16.0 15.1 21.4 12.9 9.6 18.2 18.6
Yield, y 48.5 44.2 56.8 80.4 47.2 29.9 74.0 74.0 76.8
The Equation of the line of least squares is given as ŷ = -9.12+ 4.38x. What would be the expected number of inches of rain if the yield is 60 bushels of wheat per acre?
(a) 11.62 (b) 64.74 c) 253.68 (d) 15.78 ANS: C Plug y= 60 and solve for x.

Answer:

Option d.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line of least squares is given as

\hat{y} = -9.12+ 4.38x

where \hat{y} is the yield of wheat (bushels per acre) and x is the rainfall (in inches).

We need to find the expected number of inches of rain if the yield is 60 bushels of wheat per acre.

Substitute \hat{y}=60 in the given equation.

60= -9.12+ 4.38x

Add 9.12 on both sides.

60+9.12=4.38x

69.12=4.38x

Divide both sides by 4.38.

\frac{69.12}{4.38}=x

x\approx 15.78

The expected number of inches of rain is 15.78.

Therefore, the correct option is d.

What is 30=8+4(z-2) step by step?
Stolb23 [73]

30=8+4(z-2)

Distribute 4 through the parentheses

30=8+4z-8

Eliminate the opposites

30=4z

Swap the sides of the equation

4z=30

Divide both sides of the equation by 4

4z÷4=30÷4

Any expression divided by itself equals 1

z=30÷4

or write the division as a fraction

z=30/4

copy the numerator and denominator of the fraction

30=2x3x5

4=2x2

Write the prime factorization of 30

Write the prime factorization of 4

30=2          x3x5

4=2x2

    2

Line up the common factors in both lists

Copy the common factors

Since there is only one common factor, the common factor 2 is also the greatest common factor

30÷2/4÷2

  2

Divide 30 and 4 by the greatest common factor 2

15/4÷2

Divide the numbers in the numerator

15/2

Divide the numbers in the denominator

15/2

The simplified expression is 15/2

That's it. hope it wasn't too hard to understand?

By Euler's method the <em>numerical approximate</em> solution of the <em>definite</em> integral is 4.189 648.

<h3>How to estimate a definite integral by numerical methods</h3>

In this problem we must make use of Euler's method to estimate the upper bound of a <em>definite</em> integral. Euler's method is a <em>multi-step</em> method, related to Runge-Kutta methods, used to estimate <em>integral</em> values numerically. By integral theorems of calculus we know that definite integrals are defined as follows:

∫ f(x) dx = F(b) - F(a)     (1)

The steps of Euler's method are summarized below:

  1. Define the function seen in the statement by the label f(x₀, y₀).
  2. Determine the different variables by the following formulas:

    xₙ₊₁ = xₙ + (n + 1) · Δx     (2)
    yₙ₊₁ = yₙ + Δx · f(xₙ, yₙ)     (3)
  3. Find the integral.

The table for x, f(xₙ, yₙ) and y is shown in the image attached below. By direct subtraction we find that the <em>numerical</em> approximation of the <em>definite</em> integral is:

y(4) ≈ 4.189 648 - 0

y(4) ≈ 4.189 648

By Euler's method the <em>numerical approximate</em> solution of the <em>definite</em> integral is 4.189 648.

mezya [45]

With compass setting the same as PA. place the compass at P and draw an arc above the diameter.

<h3>What is a Hexagon?</h3>

This is a polygon which has a total number of six sides and internal angle which is 720 degrees.

The compass should be placed at P and an arc above the diameter after which they are joined to form a hexagon.

The larger of two positive integers is three more than the
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

y=x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

So, let's start with the fact that we have two numbers. Let's call one of them "x" and the other one "y." Let's also assume that "y" is the larger number and "x" is the smaller number.

 

We know that both of them added together (the sum) gives us 74. Mathematically, that means:

 

x+y=74.

 

We also know that the larger number ("y") is 4 more than the smaller number ("x"). Another way to say this is, if you have the smaller number and add 4 more to it, you'll end up with the larger number. Mathematically, this means:

 

y=x+4

 

Since we know that y=x+4, we can put "x+4" into the first equation for "y", giving us:

 

x+(x+4)=74

 

Simplifying gives us:

 

2x+4=74

   -4   -4

  ---------

2x=70

---  ---

2    2

 

 

x=35

 

Since we now know that x=35, and we know that y=x+4, we now know that:

 

y=(35)+4

y=39

 

Now that we have both of the numbers, we should check our work to ensure it's correct:

 

Does 39+35=74?      Yes it does.

 

Is 39 (the larger of the two numbers) four more than the smallest number (35)?    Yes it is.
