You find your dependent variable has a high degree of kurtosis. What is the first way to try to fix it?

The first way to try to fix this is to apply logarithm to the observations on the dependent variable. This is going to make the dependent variable with high degree of kurtosis normal.

Note that sometimes, the resulting values of the variable will be negative. Do not worry about this, as it is not a problem. It does not affect the regression coefficients, it only affects the regression intercept, which after transformation, will be of no interest.

Help me with this problem that I'm stuck on!
jok3333 [9.3K]
                              4/(x+1) = 3/x + 1/15
Should we make common denominators with everything, we get
           4*15*x / [15x(x+1)] = 3*15*(x+1)/[15x(x+1)] + x(x+1)/[15x(x+1)]
Multiply both sides of the equation by the denominator to cancel them
                                         60x = 45(x+1) + x(x+1)
                                         60x = 45x + 45 + x^2 + x
                       x^2 - 14x + 45 = 0
                               (x-9)(x-5)  = 0
The answer to this question is that the solutions are x=9 and x=5.

I WILL UPVOTE!!!!! IF U HELP
fgiga [73]
<span>ow far does the first car go in the 2 hours head start it gets? Now, at t = 2 hours, both cars are moving. How much faster is the second car than the first car? How long will it take to recover the head start? You can determine this by dividing the head start by the difference in the two speeds. If car 1 has a 20 mile head start, and car 2 is 5 mph faster, then it will take 20/5 = 4 hours to catch up.

</span>You could also write two equations, one for each car, showing how far they have gone in a variable amount of time. Set the two equations equal to each other and solve for the value of the time. Note that the second car's equation will use (t-2) for the time, because it doesn't start driving until t = 2.

NEED HELP!!! Use what you know about special right triangles to find the missing measures. Show all calculations that lead to yo
Rasek [7]

Answer:a) a=22, b=11

b) m=7\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}, n= \frac{98-7\sqrt{2} }{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

You should use trigonometry ratios as required and then you should use pythagoras theorem

In a) cosine(30°)= base/hypotenuse,

where 11√3 is the base

"a" is hypotenuse and

"b" is perpendicular

from this you can find the value of perpendicular then you should use pythagoras theorem to find the value of hypotenuse

pythagoras theorem is

base²+perpendicular²= hypotenuse²

Same is applied on (b) right triangle as, sine(45°)=perpendicular/hypotenuse
