Answer: number of adults = 3, number of children = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of adults be x, and the number of children be y.

x + y = 8 , 15x + 8y = 85

1st equation x 8 = 8x + 8y = 64

$8x+8y-15x-8y = 64 - 85\\-7x = -21\\x=3$

substitute x=3

$3+y=8\\y=5$

A set of n = 15 pairs of X and Y scores has SSX = 10, SSY = 40, and SP = 30. What is the slope for the regression equation for p

Mumz [18]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given $SS_X=10$ , $SS_Y=40$ and SP =30

We have to find the slope for regression on Y from X

The slope on Y from X is given by $b_{yx}=\frac{SP}{SS_X}$

As we have given the value of SP =30 and value of $SS_X=10$

So slope for regression will be $b_{yx}=\frac{30}{10}=3$
