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.

A rectangular region is removed from another rectangular region to create the shaded region shown below. Find the area of the sh
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

57m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the area of both shaded and not shaded regions. Since we are solving area for 2-D images we will use the equation Area=length(with)

Shaded Region: 11(9)=99

Unshaded Region: 8(6)=42

Now we subtract the shaded region with the unshaded region to get an area of 57 Meters. Therefore the area of the shaded region is 57m^2

Solve the literal equation for y. 4x-5=7+4y
Natalka [10]

Answer:

y=x−3

Step-by-step explanation:

Flip the equation.

4y+7=4x−5

Add -7 to both sides.

4y+7+−7=4x−5+−7

4y=4x−12

Divide both sides by 4.

\frac{4y}{4}= \frac{4x-12}{4}

y=x−3

ik this doesnt make any sense but hope this helps :/

A bag contains three red marbles, two green ones, one lavender one, two yellows, and two orange marbles. HINT [See Example 7.] H
lapo4ka [179]

Answer: 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A bag contains three red marbles, two green ones, one lavender one, two yellows, and two orange marbles.

Total marbles other than green = 8

Total marbles other than green and yellow = 6

Then the number of sets of seven marbles include at least one yellow one but no green ones:-

^{2}C_1\times^{6}C_6+ ^2C_2\times^6C_5\\\\= 2\times 1+1\times6\\\\=2+6=8

Number of sets of seven marbles include at least one yellow one but no green ones = 8
