Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a ) The worth of Jean-Claude's gnome after 1 year

= 80000 x 1.02

=  £81600

b ) common ratio of geometric progression

= 81600 / 80000

= 1.02

c )  worth after 10 years

= 80000 x 1.02¹⁰

= 80000 x 1.21899

= £97519.55

d )

120000 = 80000 x 1.02^k

1.5 = 1.02^k

ln1.5 = k ln 1.02

k = ln 1.5 / ln 1.02

= .4054 / .0198

= 20.47 years .

What is the difference between the following two regression​ equations? ModifyingAbove y with caret equals b 0 plus b 1 xy=b0+b1
Leona [35]

Answer:

A. The first equation is for sample​ data; the second equation is for a population.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first equation is y = b_0 + b_1x , this is the equation for sample data as the intercept (b_0) and the slope parameter(b_1)  both are calculated then we have got this and these values are not taken as given.

The Second equation is y = \beta _0 +\beta _1x , this is the equation for population data as we can't calculate these \beta _0 and \beta _1 as we take these values as given and also we do testing for \beta parameter using t test and it is sure that testing is always done on population data not on sample data.
