Using a line of best fit, the predicted tsunami speed for the following depths is given by:
a. 1151 km/h.
b. 572 km/h.
c. 130 km/h.
d. 122 km/h.
<h3>How to find the equation of linear regression using a calculator?</h3>
To find the equation, we need to insert the points (x,y) in the calculator.
For this problem, the points (depth, velocity) are given by:
(7000, 943), (4000, 713), (2000, 504), (200, 159), (50, 79), (10,36)
Inserting these points in the calculator, the velocity in function of the depth is:
v(d) = 0.12879d + 121.03448
Hence, the velocities are given as follows:
a. v(8000) = 0.12879 x 8000 + 121.03448 = 1151 km/h.
b. v(3500) = 0.12879 x 3500 + 121.03448 = 572 km/h.
c. v(70) = 0.12879 x 70 + 121.03448 = 130 km/h.
d. v(5) = 0.12879 x 5 + 121.03448 = 122 km/h.
