Dairy farmers are aware there is often a linear relationship between the age, in years, of a dairy cow and the amount of milk pr

oduced in gallons per week The least squares regression line
produced from a random sample is Milk = 40.8 – 1.1 (Age). Based on the model, what is the difference in predicted amounts of milk produced between a cow of 5 years and a cow of 10 years?

A cow of 5 years is predicted to produce 5.5 fewer gallons per week

B A cow of 5 years is predicted to produce 5.5 more gallons per week

c) A cow of 5 years is predicted to produce 1.1 fewer gallons per week

D) A cow of 5 years is predicted to produce 1.1 more gallons per week

A cow of 5 years and a cow of 10 years are both predicted to produce 40.8 gallons per week

Answer:

B. A cow of 5 years is predicted to produce 5.5 more gallons per week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let M(a) = 40.8-1.1\cdot a, where a is the age of the dairy cow, measured in years, and M(a) is the predicted milk production, measured in gallons per week.

Besides, we consider a_{1} and a_{2}, such that a_{1}\ne a_{2}, we define the difference between predicted milk productions (\Delta M) below:

\Delta M = -1.1\cdot (a_{2}-a_{1}) (1)

If we know that a_{1} = 5\,yr and a_{2} = 10\,yr, then the difference between predicted milk productions is:

\Delta M = -1.1\cdot (10-5)

\Delta M = -5.5\,\frac{gal}{week}

That is, a cow of 5 years is predicted to produce 5.5 more gallons per week than a cow of 10 years. Hence, the right answer is B.

Answer:

It costs $15 a month to play the video game.

The initial cost is $45.

The y-variable represents the cost in dollars.

The x-variable represents the number of months.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you break the function down, you're going to have:

<u>Total = Monthly Cost + Initial Cost</u>

In this case, 15x is your monthly cost, as you can think of x as the number of months meaning:

  • 15 for the first month (x = 1)
  • 30 for the second month (x = 2)
  • 45 for the third month (x = 3), and so on

Our initial cost is always going to be a set amount, thus our constant, $45.

This leaves y as our total, which makes sense, as it's all alone on one side of the equation, where as all the costs are bunched together on the right side.

Hope this helps!

What is the best estimate for the value of the expression?<br><br> (34/8 - 16/3) - 14/9
irina1246 [14]

You want an estimate, not an actual answer. But just in case you think that way, the actual answer is 34/8 - 16/3 - 14/9 = -2 23/36

34/8 = about 4 3/4

16/3 = about 5 1/3

14/9 i= about 1 5/9

So the answer is about 5 - 5 - 1 1/2 which is about (- 1 1/2) That's your answer. Remember you are estimating. I don't know that you can get it much closer without using a calculator.
