Answer:

Marc's age is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> Marc's age

y ---> Tony's age

z ---> Ben's age

we know that

the sum of their ages is 40

so

x+y+z=40 -----> equation A

Marc is half as old as Tony

so

x=\frac{y}{2}

y=2x ----> equation B

Marc is three times as old as Ben

so

x=3z

z=\frac{x}{3} ----> equation C

substitute equation B and equation C in equation A

x+2x+\frac{x}{3}=40

solve for x

\frac{10x}{3}=40

x=40(3)/10\\x=12\ years

therefore

Marc's age is 12

The coefficient of determination is used to: compute correlations for truncated ranges. compare the relative strength of coeffic
kozerog [31]

Answer: compare the relative strength of coefficients.

Step-by-step explanation: The Coefficient of determination usually denoted as R^2 is obtained by taking the squared value of the correlation Coefficient (R). It's value ranges from 0 to 1 and the value obtained gives the proportion of variation in the dependent variable which could be attributed to it's correlation or relationship to th independent variable. With a R^2 value close to 1, this means a large portion of Variation in a variable A could be explained due to changes in variable B while a low value signifies a low variance between the variables. Hence, the Coefficient of determination is used in comparing the relative strength of the Coefficients in other to establish whether a weak or strong relationship exist.

Find the slope of the line passing through each of the following pairs of points and draw the graph of the line. (5, 2), (3, 3)
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

-0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

  • slope=rise/run or y/x in other words(y2-y1/x2-x1)
  • (y2-y1) is 3-2 so y2-y1=1
  • (x2-x1) is 3-5 so x2-x1= -2
  • -1/2 or -0.5 would be the slope.
