Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

3x + 5(2 + x) = 4x - 7

Step 2: Solve for x

[Distributive Property] Distribute 5: 3x + 10 + 5x = 4x - 7
[Addition] Combine like terms: 8x + 10 = 4x - 7
[Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 4x on both sides: 4x + 10 = -7
[Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 10 on both sides: 4x = -17
[Division Property of Equality] Divide 4 on both sides: x = -17/4

Answer:

x= $\frac{-17}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3x+5(2+x)=4x−7

3x+(5)(2)+(5)(x)=4x+−7(Distribute)

3x+10+5x=4x+−7

(3x+5x)+(10)=4x−7(Combine Like Terms)

8x+10=4x−7

Step 2: Subtract 4x from both sides.

8x+10−4x=4x−7−4x

4x+10=−7

Step 3: Subtract 10 from both sides.

4x+10−10=−7−10

4x=−17

Step 4: Divide both sides by 4.

$\frac{4x}{4}$ = $\frac{-17}{4}$

x= $\frac{-17}{4}$

Answer:

a) Figure attached

b) $y=1.31 x +98.57$

c) The correlation coefficient would be r =0.47719

d) $y=1.31 x +98.57=1.31*21 + 98.57 =126.08$

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Draw a scatter diagram for the data.

See the figure attached

(b) Find x, y, b, and the equation of the least-squares line. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) x =__ y =__ b =__ y =__ + __x

$m=\frac{S_{xy}}{S_{xx}}$

Where:

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}$

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}$

With these we can find the sums:

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}=6576-\frac{300^2}{14}=147.429$

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i){n}}=38186-\frac{300*1773}{14}=193.143$

And the slope would be:

$m=\frac{193.143}{147.429}=1.31$

Nowe we can find the means for x and y like this:

$\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{300}{14}=21.429$

$\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{1773}{14}=126.643$

And we can find the intercept using this:

$b=\bar y -m \bar x=126.643-(1.31*21.429)=98.571$

So the line would be given by:

$y=1.31 x +98.57$

(c) Find the sample correlation coefficient r and the coefficient of determination r?2. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

n=14 $\sum x = 300, \sum y = 1773, \sum xy=38186, \sum x^2 =6576, \sum y^2 =225649$

And in order to calculate the correlation coefficient we can use this formula:

$r=\frac{n(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2 -(\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2 -(\sum y)^2]}}$

$r=\frac{14(38186)-(300)(1773)}{\sqrt{[14(6576) -(300)^2][14(225649) -(1773)^2]}}=0.9534$

So then the correlation coefficient would be r =0.47719

What percentage of variation in y is explained by the least-squares model? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

The % of variation is given by the determination coefficient given by $r^2$ and on this case $0.47719^2 =0.2277$ , so then the % of variation explaines is 22.8%.

(d) If a female baby weighs 21 pounds at 1 year, what do you predict she will weigh at 30 years of age? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) ___ lb

So we can replace in the linear model like this:

$y=1.31 x +98.57=1.31*21 + 98.57 =126.08$
