This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

An owner of a home in the Midwest installed solar panels to reduce heating costs. After installing the solar panels, he measured the amount of natural gas used  y (in cubic feet) to heat the home and outside temperature x (in degree-days, where a day's degree-days are the number of degrees its average temperature falls below 65oF) over a 23-month period.

He then computed the least-squares regression line for predicting y from x and found it to be:   y^=80+16x.  

How much, on average, does gas used increase for each additional degree-day?

Answer : ______ cubic feet.

(Give your answer as a whole number.)

Answer:

Amount of natural gas used increased by 19 cubic feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Let the dependent variable y be the amount of natural gas used ( ft³ )

Also let an independent variable x be be the degree days temperature ( in °F)

So the least squares regression equation is;

y^{bar} = 80 + 16x

or

amount_of_natural_gas_used = 80 + 16(degree_days_temperature

Th slope or the standardized regression coefficient of the given regression equation is;

b₁ = 16

the slope coefficient b₁ = 16 is tells us that for each additional one-degree days temperature, an amount of natural gas used increased by 19 cubic feet.

Therefore, amount of natural gas used increased by 19 cubic feet.

Which fraction is less than 1 chose all of the correct answer, and explain why you chose and write it down and explain your answ
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

(3/4) and (2/3).

Step-by-step explanation:

For a fraction of the form (p / q), the number in front of the division (p) is the numerator. The number after the division (q) is the denominator.

\begin{aligned} \frac{p}{q} \quad \genfrac{}{}{0}{}{(\text{numerator})}{(\text{denominator})}\end{aligned}.

A positive fraction (p/q) (p,\, q > 0) is less than 1 as long as the numerator p is smaller than the denominator q (that is, p < q.) The reason is that as long as p,\, q > 0:

\begin{aligned} & \frac{p}{q} < 1 \\ \iff & (q)\, \left(\frac{p}{q}\right) < (q)\, (1) && (\text{given that $q > 0$}) \\ \iff & p < q\end{aligned}.

For example, in the fraction (2/3), 2 is the numerator while 3 is the denominator. Both the numerator and the denominator are positive, while the numerator 2\! is smaller than the denominator 3\!. Therefore, (2/3) would be less than 1.

lara [203]

Answer:

<u><em>12</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 50% of 16 to 16, 50% of 16 is 0.5 * 16 = 8, 16 + 8 = 24

Multiply 24 by 50%, or 0.5 to get 12
