Answer:

$3.74

Step-by-step explanation:

we already know the cost of the banana's and it gives us the total price including apples. So $5.24 - $1.50 = $3.74, and the 3.74 is the cost of apples

Answer:

$\displaystyle y=-0.927x+13.63$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Simple Linear Regression </u>

It a function that represents the relationship between two or more variables in a given data set. It uses the method of the least-squares regression line which minimizes the error between the estimate function and the real data.

Let's compute the best-fit line for the data

$x=\{1,5,6,12,15\}$

$y=\{14,11,4,2,1\}$

First, we find the sums

$\displaystyle \sum x=1+5+6+12+15=39$

$\displaystyle \sum y=14+11+4+2+1=32$

Then, we compute the averages values

$\displaystyle \bar{x}=\frac{39}{5}=7.8$

$\displaystyle \bar{y}=\frac{32}{5}=6.4$

We will also compute the sums of the cross-products and the sum of the squares

$\displaystyle \sum xy=(1)(14)+(5)(11)+(6)(4)+(12)(2)+(15)(1)=137$

$\displaystyle \sum x^2=1^2+5^2+6^2+12^2+15^2=1+25+36+144+225$

$\displaystyle \sum x^2=431$

We will compute Sxy and Sxx

$\displaystyle S_{xy}=\sum xy-\frac{\sum x\ \sum y}{n}$

$\displaystyle S_{xy}=137-\frac{(39)(32)}{5}$

$\displaystyle S_{xy}=-117.6$

$\displaystyle S_{xx}=\sum x^2-\frac{(\sum x)^2}{n}$

$\displaystyle S_{xx}=431-\frac{39}{5}^2=126.8$

The slope of the linear regression function is given by

$\displaystyle m=\frac{S_{xy}}{S_{xx}}=\frac{-117.6}{126.8}=-0.927$

The y-intercept ot the linear function is

$\displaystyle b=\bar{y}-b\bar{x}=6.4-(-0.927)(7.8)$

$\displaystyle b=13.63$

Thus the best-fit line is

$\displaystyle y=-0.927x+13.63$

The correct option is the last one

Write the equation of a line that passes through (-1,3) (0,8)

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

You'll be using point slope form to solve this.

As the name suggests, you'll need the slope as well as a point. To find the slope use the slope formula: $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Plug in the points.

$\frac{8-3}{0-(-1)} =\frac{5}{1} =5$

The slope of this line is 5.

Point slope form is y-y1 = m(x-x1), so plug in the slope and a point into this equation. I'll use (0,8).

y-(8) = 5(x-(0))

1. Write this out without parentheses.

y-8 = 5(x)

2. Multiply 5 and x.

y-8 = 5x

3. Add 8 to both sides.

y = 5x+8

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Answer is:

y = 5x+8
