Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

calories is y or response variable and sugar is the explanatory variable, x.

if x(sugar) is 1

y = 57 + 2.5(1) = 59.5, a 2.5 increase.

if it is 2

y = 57 + 2.5(2) = 62, another 2.5 increase.

if zero grams of sugar x = 0

y = 57 + 2.5(0) = 57 calories.

Answer: Choice E)

The amount of calories in fruit juice increases by 2.5 for every one gram of sugar. The calorie amount estimated by this model is 57 if there are zero grams of sugar.

=============================================================

Explanation:

x = amount of sugar (in grams)

y = number of calories in the juice

ŷ = estimate of y, so its the estimate of calories in the juice

The regression equation rearranges to ŷ = 2.5x + 57

This is in the form y = mx+b where m = 2.5 is the slope and b = 57 is the y intercept.

The slope tells us what the rate of change is. Specifically, it tells us how much the amount of calories (y) is going up each time the amount of sugar (x) goes up. Each time x goes up by 1, y goes up by 2.5

The y intercept 57 is the starting or initial amount of calories. If you have 0 grams of sugar, the lowest amount of sugar possible, then you start off with 57 calories. We can see this by plugging x = 0 into ŷ = 2.5x + 57 (you should get ŷ = 57). Visually, the y intercept is where the line crosses the y axis.

All of these facts point to choice E as the final answer.

What is the lmc of two numbers that have no common factors greater then 1

Luba_88 [7]

We can take prime numbers so they don't have a common factor other than 1.

3, and 5.

So we have to list the multiples to find the LCM

3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18
5: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25

15 is the LCM of 3 and 5

So, you can notice that if two numbers, lets call them a and b, have no common factor, then $a \times b$ is the LCM.

Hope that helped :)

Jasmine had a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting for her birthday .she and her friend each ate 1/4 of the cake and jasmine's

zloy xaker [14]

Hey there!

To solve this problem, you first would need to solve for how much of the cake is left after Jasmine, her friend, and Jasmine's brother got their slices. Then, you would need to split the remaining amount in half to get the answer of what each parent ate. We would need to make all of the denominators the same, so let's make all of the fractions out of 12, a common denominator of 3 and 4.

$\frac{12}{12} - \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{3}$
$\frac{12}{12} - \frac{3}{12} - \frac{3}{12} - \frac{4}{12}$
$\frac{12}{12} - \frac{10}{12} = \frac{2}{12}$

It can then be concluded that each parent ate $\frac{1}{12}$ of the cake, since there was $\frac{2}{12}$ remaining.

You can check this answer by adding up all of the parts we used in this problem:

$\frac{3}{12} + \frac{3}{12} + \frac{4}{12} + \frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{12} = \frac{12}{12}$

Hope this helped you out! :-)
