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.

I'm guessing you have a work sheet going along with this which has actual images of containers. I've attached an example - if you can post the actual work sheet you're referring to I can edit this answer to correctly reflect your specific question.

In a store, a sample of 60 pens was selected from a box of 1,200 pens. Of these 60, 4 pens did not work. About how many pens cou
Lapatulllka [165]
Ok so if 1200 total pens and 60 were taken that's a ratio of 1200/60=20

out of 60pens 4 didn't work, again ratio is 4/60=1/15 so about 1/15 of the pens didn't work. 

so we have 1200pens * 1/15broken ratio = 80 pens or we can say 

20*4=80pens won't work from 20 groups of 60 and 4 out of 60 not working is 20*4=80 not working from total batch of 1200.

hope this helps you some! thank you!!!!!!!!!

Find the focus. y= -1/12 (x)² - 6
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

\Large \boxed{\sf\ \  (0,-9) \ \ }

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

We know that when the parabola equation is

   y=a(x-h)^2+k

the vertex is (h,k) and the focus is

   (h,k+\dfrac{1}{4a})

Here, the equation is

   y=-\dfrac{1}{12}x^2-6

so

   a=-\dfrac{1}{12}\\\\h = 0\\\\k =-6

So,

k+\dfrac{1}{4a}=-6-\dfrac{12}{4}=-6-3=-9

Then, the focus is

\large \boxed{\sf\ \  (0,-9) \ \ }

I attached the graph, included the focus so that you can see it :-)

Hope this helps.

Do not hesitate if you need further explanation.

Thank you
