Answer:

8 and 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number x and y

Sum of numbers, x + y = 25 -----------( 1 )

One number exceeds other by 9,

that is difference between the numbers is 9, x - y = 9

=> x = 9 + y --------- ( 2 )

Substitute ( 2 ) in ( 1 )

( 9 + y ) + y = 25

2y = 25 - 9

2y = 16

y = 8

Substitute y = 8 in ( 2 ) : x = 9 + y

= 9 + 8 = 17

Therefore the 2 numbers are 8 and 17

A science teacher ordered $1848 worth of microscopes and dissection kits for the new science lab. A total of 30 microscopes and

andrezito [222]

Answer:

Microscopes cost $44 and Dissection Kits cost $11

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the information given, we can make the system of equations:

30x+48y=1848

x represents the price of microscopes and y represents the price of dissection kits.

We also know that microscopes will be 4x the price of dissection kits. Therefor:

x=4y

We can plug these two equations together to find the answer.

30(4y)+48y=1848

120y+48y=1848

168y=1848

y=11

Using the y-value, can find the x-value.

x=4(11)

x=44

For simple linear regression, y = β0 + β1x + u, which one of the following statements is true?

RSB [31]

Answer:

Option a) u is called the "error term". It is the error we make in prediction

Option d) x is called the independent variable because x is independent from y and u.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

$y = \beta_0 + \beta_1x + u$

where y is the dependent variable, x is the independent variable.

$\beta_0$ : It is the value of y when x is zero, that is y-intercept.

$\beta_1$ : It is the coefficient of x in predicting the dependent variable y.

u is the error term.

An error term represents the margin of error.
It refers to the sum of the deviations within the regression line, that is the difference between the predicted value and the observed value of y.

Thus, Option A) u is the error term and Option D) x is called the independent variable because x is independent from y and u are the correct answer.
