Answer is option a ) 0.53
Step-by-step explanation:
slope =
Given that a pediatrician wishes to study how the average weight Y (in kilograms) of children changes during the first year of life. He plots these averages versus the age X (in months) and decides to fit a least-squares regression line to the data with X as the explanatory variable and Y as the response variable.
He finds the following quantities:
r = correlation between X and Y= 0.84
x = mean of the values of X = 5.69
y = mean of the values of Y = 6.26
S_x = standard deviation of the values of X = 3.23
s_y = standard deviation of the values of Y = 2.04
Using the formula for slope given above substitute to get
round off to 0.53
Answer is option a ) 0.53
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
ax² + bx + c = a(x - )(x -
)
D = b² - 4ac
= ( - b ± √D ) / 2a

Let x² = y , then y² + 8y - 9
Find the roots of equation y² + 8y - 9 = 0
D = 64 + 36 = 100 = 10²
= ( - 8 - 10) / 2 = - 9
= ( - 8 + 10) / 2 = 1
y² + 8y - 9 = (y - 1)(y + 9) = (x² - 1)(x² + 9)
x² = 1 ⇒ = ± √1
+ 8x² - 9 = (x - 1)(x + 1)(x² + 9)
