Answer:

4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Probably too late for your RSM homework, but here is the solution:

6/(9-x) [Time they motored upstream] +6/x [Time it took the bottle to get back to the starting point] = 8/3 [Total Time]

Simplify to 54/(x(9-x))=8/3

Cross multiply: 162=(8x)(9-x)

Simplify -x^2+9x=20.25

Multiply both sides by negative one and move 20.25 to the other side. x^2-9x+20.25=0

Solve and get 4.5 :D!

Aliun [14]

Answer:

E IS THE CORRECT ANSWER

The R-squared is 0.64 and it means that the dependent value explains 64% of the independent value in the simple regression analysis

Step-by-step explanation:

R-Squared value is a very important indicator in a regression analysis.

What does it measure?

It measures how close to the line of best fit are the data points. How good the fitted line is can be indicated by the value of the r-squared.

The maximum value it can take is 1 and at this value, there is a direct and complete relationship between the independent variable x and the dependent variable y. The value 1 represents an 100% relationship between both parties.

The r-squared has a value of between 0 and 100%. The closer to 100, the better the model while the closer to 100, the more faulty the model is. In fact, a value of 0 indicates no relationship at all between the dependent and the independent variable.

With an R-squared value of 0.64, the regression model works above average to explain that the dependent variable explains 64% of the independent value in the simple regression analysis.
