6 0

Answer:

(x,y): (6 , -3) or (-30/7 , 33/7)

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 8y = 12

x = y + 9 or y = x+ 9

if x = y+9

6*(y+9) + 8y = 12

14y = -42

y = -3 and x = 6

if y = x+9

6x + 8*(x+9) = 12

14x = -60

x = -30/7 and y = 33/7

A landscaper is selecting two trees to plant. He has five to choose from. Three of the five are deciduous and two are evergreen.

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

The probability that he chooses trees of two different types is 30%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a landscaper is selecting two trees to plant, and he has five to choose from, of which three of the five are deciduous and two are evergreen, to determine what is the probability that he chooses trees of two different types must be performed the following calculation:

3/5 x 2/4 = 0.3

2/5 x 3/4 = 0.3

Therefore, the probability that he chooses trees of two different types is 30%.

If the coefficient of determination is 0.9, the percentage of variation in the dependent variable explained by the variation in

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

90% of the variation in the dependent variable is explained by the independent variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

coefficient of determination = 0.9

We have to find the percentage of variation in the dependent variable explained by the variation in the independent variable.

Coefficient of Determination:

The coefficient of determination is a measure that explains and predicts the dependent variable.
It explains the variation in the dependent variable caused by the independent variable.
The coefficient of determination, also known as the R squared value and is obtained by squaring the coefficient of correlation.

$\text{Coefficient of Determination} = R^2 = 0.9 = 0.9\times 100\% = 90\%$

Thus, 90% of the variation in the dependent variable is explained by the independent variable.
