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.

Answer:

x=140

Step-by-step explanation:

Do not get grounded.

An angle at a point is 360°.

So, x+120+70+30=360

x+220=360

x=140

What is the y-coordinate of the solution for the system of equations? x−y=−11 y+7=−2x
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

y= 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations:

x-y=-11

y+7=-2x

In order to find the y coordinate of the solution we must first find the solution to this system of equations. We first start by solving one of the given equations and then substitute the answer of that into the second equation and further solve to get the final answers.

x=y=-11

y+7=-2x

y+7=-2x

+ -7

y = -2x - 7

x - y = -11

y = -2x-7

x-(-2x-7)=-11

x--2x=x+2x=3x

3x+7=-11

-7

-11+-7=-18

3x=-18

\div3

-18\div3=-6

x=-6

y=-2x-7

y=(-2)(-6)-7

-2\times-6=12-7=5

y=5

Hope this helps.

PLEASE HELP!!! WILL AWARD BRAINLIEST!!
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

  The value of f(1) is larger than the value of f(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the numbers in the equation and do the arithmetic.

  f(1) = -2(1²) +3(1) +10 = 11

  f(3) = -2(3²) +3(3) +10 = 1

11 is larger than 1, so f(1) is larger than f(3).
