Answer:

C. 3,960

Step-by-step explanation:

∆ADB ~ ∆EDC. Therefore,

$\frac{AB}{EC} = \frac{DB}{DC}$

$\frac{2,000}{1,200} = \frac{2,640 + x}{x}$ (substitution)

Solve for x

$\frac{5}{3} = \frac{2,640 + x}{x}$

Cross multiply

$5*x = 3(2,640 + x)$

$5x = 7,920 + 3x$

5x - 3x = 7,920

2x = 7,920

x = 7,920/2

x = 3,960 meters

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer: $(23.3,\ 29.7)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for population mean is given by :-

$\overline{x}\pm ME.$ , where $\overline{x}$ is the sample mean and ME is the margin of error .

Given : The sample mean : $\overline{x}=26.5$

Margin of error : $ME=3.2$

Then , the range of values (confidence interval) likely to contain the true value of the population parameter will be :-

$26.5\pm 3.2=(26.5-3.2,\ 26.5+3.2)=(23.3,\ 29.7)$

Hence, the range of values likely to contain the true value of the population parameter = $(23.3,\ 29.7)$

A researcher collected data on the hours of TV watched per day from a sample of five people of different ages. Here are the resu

frozen [14]

Answer:

1. The least squares regression is y = -0.1015·x + 6.51

2. The independent variable is b) age

Please see attached table

Step-by-step explanation:

The least squares regression formula is given as follows;

$\dfrac{\sum_{i = 1}^{n}(x_{i} - \bar{x})\times \left (y_{i} - \bar{y} \right ) }{\sum_{i = 1}^{n}(x_{i} - \bar{x})^{2}}$

We have;

$\bar x$ = 24

$\bar y$ = 4

$\Sigma (x_i - \bar x) (y_i - \bar y)$ = -79

$\Sigma (x_i - \bar x)^2$ = 778

$\therefore \hat \beta =\dfrac{\sum_{i = 1}^{n}(x_{i} - \bar{x})\times \left (y_{i} - \bar{y} \right ) }{\sum_{i = 1}^{n}(x_{i} - \bar{x})^{2}} = \frac{-79}{778} = -0.1015$

The least squares regression is y = -0.1015·x + α

∴ α = y -0.1015·x = 6 - (-0.1015 × 5) = 6.51

The least squares regression is thus;

y = -0.1015·x + 6.51

2. The independent variable is the age b)

3. Steps to create an ANOVA table with α = 0.05

The overall mean = (43 + 30 + 22 + 20 + 5 + 1 + 6 + 4 + 3 + 6 )/10 = 14

There are 2 different treatment = $df_{treat} = 2 - 1 = 1$

There are 10 different treatment measurement = $df_{tot} = 10 - 1 = 9$

$df_{res} = 9 - 1 = 8$

$df_{treat} + df_{res} = df_{tot}$

The estimated effects are;

$\hat A_1 = 24 - 14 = 10$

$\hat A_2 = 4 - 14 = -10$

$SS_{treat} = 10^2 \times 5 + (-10)^2 \times 5 =1000$

$\sum_{i}\SS_{row}_i = \sum_{i}\sum_{j} (y_{ij} - \bar y)= [(1 - 4)^2 + (6 - 4)^2 + (4 - 4)^2 + (3 - 4)^2 + (6 - 4)^2] = 18$

$\sum_{i} S S_{row}_i = \sum_{i}\sum_{j} (y_{ij} - \bar y) ^2= [(43 - 24)^2 + (30 - 24)^2 + (22 - 24)^2 + (20 - 24)^2 + (5 - 24)^2] = 778$

$S S_{res} = \sum_{i} S S_{row}_i = 778 + 18 = 796$

$SS_{tot}$ = (43 - 14)² + (30 - 14)² + (22 - 14)² + (20 - 14)² + (5 - 14)² + (1 - 14)1² + (6 - 4 )² + (3 - 14)² + (6 - 14)² = 1796

$MS_{treat} = \dfrac{SS_{treat} }{df_{treat} } = \dfrac{1000}{1} = 1000$

$MS_{res} = \dfrac{SS_{res} }{df_{res} } = \dfrac{796}{8} = 99.5$

F- value is given by the relation;

$F = \dfrac{MS_{treat} }{MS_{res} } = \frac{1000}{99.5} = 10.05$

We then look for the critical values at degrees of freedom 1 and 8 at α = 0.05 on the F-distribution tables 5.3177

Hence; $F = 10.05 > F_{1,8}^{Krit}(5\%) = 5.3177$ , we reject the null hypothesis.
