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

PLEASE HELP
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

5.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

1) the formula to find the area of a square is l^2= area and l=length

in this case we already know the area but not the length

so we have to find the square root of 30 as the opposite operation needs to be used to find the missing number

so

√30= 5.47

5.47 rounded= 5.5

the length of one side is 5.5 in
