Answer:

-3.5 ( or -7/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

we can substitute the point into this function to find out the answer

that is:

4 = m*(-2) -3

7 = m*(-2)

m = 7 / (-2)

m = -3.5

Why do we square the residuals when using the least-squares line method to find the line of best fit?

Mekhanik [1.2K]

We square the residuals when using the least-squares line method to find the line of best fit because we believe that huge negative residuals (i.e., points well below the line) are just as harmful as large positive residuals (i.e., points that are high above the line).

<h3>What do you mean by Residuals?</h3>

We treat both positive and negative disparities equally by squaring the residual values. We cannot discover a single straight line that concurrently minimizes all residuals. The average (squared) residual value is instead minimized.

We might also take the absolute values of the residuals rather than squaring them. Positive disparities are viewed as just as harmful as negative ones under both strategies.

Answer:

No. These measures show a thinner team of NFL players according to the mean, variance, standard deviation, and quartiles.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The measures of variation, namely The Range, Variance, Quartiles, Interquartiles, Sum of Squares, etc. shows us how the data are dispersed.

The Range Δ is calculated:

$\Delta =305-189=116$ Maximum value - Minimum value for weight

Mean:

$\bar{x}=\frac{189+254+235+225+190+305+202+190+252+305}{11}\approx 231.09 \:pounds$

Variance:

$s^{2}=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n} (x_i-\bar{x})^{2}}{n-1}\Rightarrow s=1923.69\\$

The Standard Deviation of the sample

$s=\sqrt{s^{^{2}}}\Rightarrow s\approx 43.86\\$

2) Since there is no preceding exercise, the comparison was made to a recent study in which a NFL player average weight is about 245 pounds (average),

Since 25% of this list are player whose weight is 192.5 lbs and 50% (2nd Quartile) =225 lbs , finally only at the 3rd Quartile we have players above the regular NFL average with 253. This, added with the other data, allow us to say that this list is not a typical of all NFL players.

Will Mark Brainlest help please

Answer:

g(-1 )=-1 and g(2)+g(1)=7

Step-by-step explanation:

If g(x) = x^3+x^2-x-2 find g(-1)

if we find g(-1)

we substitute all the x's in the function with -1

-1^3+-1^2-(-1)-2

-1^3 = -1

-1^2 = 1

-1+1+1-2

(two minuses make a plus)

-1+1 = 0

0+1 = 1

1-2 = -1

if x=-1, g(-1) is -1

g(2)+g(1)

substitute the x's in the function with 2 and 1 and add your results

2^3+2^2-2-2

2^3 = 8, 2^2 = 4

8+4-2-2

8+4= 12, 12-2 = 10, 10-2 = 8

g(2)=8

g(1) now

1^3 + 1^2-1-2

1^3=1, 1^2 = 1

1+1-1-2

1+1 = 2, 2-1 = 1, 1-2 = -1

g(3) = -1

g(2) (which equals 8) + g(3) (which equals -1) =

8+(-1) = 7

g(2)+g(3)=7
