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.

I believe the answer would be 18,618 

25,600/11= 2,327
2327*8= 18,618

Match each pair of points to the equation of the line that is parallel to the line passing through the pointsB(5,2) and C(7,-5)Y
a_sh-v [17]

we will select each points and find equation of line

option-A:

points are B(5,2) and C(7,-5)

x1=5,y1=2 , x2=7 , y2=-5

Firstly, we will find slope

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

we can plug values

m=\frac{-5-2}{7-5}

m=-3.5

we can use point slope form of line

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

we can plug values

y-2=-3.5(x-5)

y=\frac{-7}{2}x+\frac{39}{2}...........Answer

option-B:

points are D(11,6) and E(5,9)

x1=11,y1=6 , x2=5 , y2=9

Firstly, we will find slope

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

we can plug values

m=\frac{9-6}{5-11}

m=-0.5

we can use point slope form of line

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

we can plug values

y-6=-0.5(x-11)

y=\frac{-1}{2}x+\frac{23}{2}...........Answer

option-C:

points are F(-7,12) and G(3,-8)

x1=-7,y1=12 , x2=3 , y2=-8

Firstly, we will find slope

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

we can plug values

m=\frac{-8-12}{3+7}

m=-2

we can use point slope form of line

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

we can plug values

y-12=-2(x+7)

y=-2x-2...........Answer

option-D:

points are H(4,4) and I(8,9)

x1=4,y1=4 , x2=8 , y2=9

Firstly, we will find slope

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

we can plug values

m=\frac{9-4}{8-4}

m=1.25

we can use point slope form of line

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

we can plug values

y-4=1.25(x-4)

y=\frac{5}{4}x-1...........Answer

option-E:

points are J(7,2) and K(-9,8)

x1=7,y1=2 , x2=-9 , y2=8

Firstly, we will find slope

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

we can plug values

m=\frac{8-2}{-9-7}

m=-\frac{3}{8}

we can use point slope form of line

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

we can plug values

y-2=\frac{3}{8}(x-7)

y=\frac{3}{8}x-\frac{5}{8}...........Answer

option-F:

points are L(5,-7) and M(4,-12)

x1=5,y1=-7 , x2=4 , y2=-12

Firstly, we will find slope

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

we can plug values

m=\frac{-12+7}{4-5}

m=5

we can use point slope form of line

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

we can plug values

y+7=5(x-5)

y=5x-32...........Answer

Solve the equation <br> (If possible please show work)
deff fn [24]

Answer:

x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the equation:

-2(-x-4)+3=-7-4x

First, distribute the left side:

-2(-x)-2(-4)+3=-7-4x\\2x+8+3=-7-4x

Add values on the left side:

2x+11=-7-4x

Add 7 to both sides. The right side cancels:

(2x+11)+7=(-7-4x)+7\\2x+18=-4x

Subtract 2x from both sides. The left side cancels:

(2x+18)-2x=(-4x)-2x\\18=-6x

Divide both sides by -6:

(-6x)/-6=18/-6\\x=-3

Therefore, x equals -3.
