Answer: a.   Consumption is increasing at a rate of 5 calories per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The scatter-plot shown includes the (blue) least-squares regression line, whose equation is y = .975 + .005x, where y is calories (in thousands) and x is years after 1960.

Here, the slope of the line = 0.05 thousand=0.005\times1000=5

We know that the slope of the line tells about the rate of change of function y with respect to x (independent variable).

Since, the slope of the given line is positive then the dependent variable increase with respect to the independent variable.

Therefore the consumption of calories is increasing at a rate of 5 calories per year.

The scatterplot shown includes the (blue) least-squares regression line, whose equation is y = .975 + .005x, where y is calories (in thousands) and x is years after 1960. Choose the correct statement.

Answer: In the given regression equation, the calories are in thousands. Therefore, the slope 0.005 (0.005 x 1000 =5 calories)  means the consumption is increasing at a rate of 5 calories per year.

Hence the option a. Consumption is increasing at a rate of 5 calories per year. is correct

dangina [55]

Answer:

It is necessary four parameters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the augmented matrix of the consistent system has rank equal to three then the number of free variables is (number of unknows)-rank then there are 7-3=4 free variables. This means that are necessary four parameter to specify all solutions.
