Complete question :

The table shows data collected on the relationship between time spent playing video games and time spent with family. The line of best fit for the data is ý = -0.36x + 94.5.

Video Games (Minutes) Time with Family (Minutes)

40 80

55 75

70 69

85 64

A) According to the line of best fit, the predicted number of minutes spent with family for someone who spent 36 minutes playing video games is 81.54.

B) Is it reasonable to use this line of best fit to make the above prediction?

Answer:

81. 54

4) The estimate, a predicted time of 81.54 minutes, is both reliable and reasonable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

The equation of best fit is defined as :

ý = -0.36x + 94.5.

A.) Predicted number of minutes spent with family (y) for someone who spends 36 minutes playing games (x) will be :

x = 36

From the model :

ý = -0.36(36) + 94.5

y = - 12.96 + 94.5

y = 81.54

Hence.nunber of minutes spent with family = 81.54 minutes.

B.) The correlation Coefficient for the model is - 0.9993, which indicates a very strong negative relationship between both variables. Hence, using this fact, we can conclude that the prediction is reliable. From the data also, spending 36 minutes playing games means such individual will have more time than someone who plays games for 40 minutes, hence, the prediction is also reasonable.

A manufacturer knows that their items have a normally distributed length, with a mean of 15.4 inches, and standard deviation of
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

0.9452 = 94.52% probability that their mean length is less than 16.8 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Mean of 15.4 inches, and standard deviation of 3.5 inches.

This means that \mu = 15.4, \sigma = 3.5

16 items are chosen at random

This means that n = 16, s = \frac{3.5}{\sqrt{16}} = 0.875

What is the probability that their mean length is less than 16.8 inches?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 16.8. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{16.8 - 15.4}{0.875}

Z = 1.6

Z = 1.6 has a p-value of 0.9452.

0.9452 = 94.52% probability that their mean length is less than 16.8 inches.

A dance club ordered shoes for all of its members. The shoe sizes are shown in the table.
Kamila [148]
The sample mean is the sum of the sample values divided by the number of them:
  (7 +7 +10 +6 +9 +6 +8 +7.5 +8.5 +8)/10 = 77/10 = 7.7

The sample mean is 7.7.

Write in standard form the equation of the line that has a slope of 2 and that passes through ( 3, -1) explain please!
Evgesh-ka [11]
Standard form.

y=mx+n

Where m is the slope and n is the point where x=0. Then, you have,
y=2x+n


To obtain n use the point they give you,

-1=2(3)+n

So n=-7 and then

y=2x-7
