Are each of the following roots of this

Modern medical practice tells us not to encourage babies to become too fat. Is there a positive correlation between the weight x

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

a) Figure attached

b) $y=1.31 x +98.57$

c) The correlation coefficient would be r =0.47719

d) $y=1.31 x +98.57=1.31*21 + 98.57 =126.08$

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Draw a scatter diagram for the data.

See the figure attached

(b) Find x, y, b, and the equation of the least-squares line. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) x =__ y =__ b =__ y =__ + __x

$m=\frac{S_{xy}}{S_{xx}}$

Where:

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}$

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}$

With these we can find the sums:

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}=6576-\frac{300^2}{14}=147.429$

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i){n}}=38186-\frac{300*1773}{14}=193.143$

And the slope would be:

$m=\frac{193.143}{147.429}=1.31$

Nowe we can find the means for x and y like this:

$\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{300}{14}=21.429$

$\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{1773}{14}=126.643$

And we can find the intercept using this:

$b=\bar y -m \bar x=126.643-(1.31*21.429)=98.571$

So the line would be given by:

$y=1.31 x +98.57$

(c) Find the sample correlation coefficient r and the coefficient of determination r?2. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

n=14 $\sum x = 300, \sum y = 1773, \sum xy=38186, \sum x^2 =6576, \sum y^2 =225649$

And in order to calculate the correlation coefficient we can use this formula:

$r=\frac{n(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2 -(\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2 -(\sum y)^2]}}$

$r=\frac{14(38186)-(300)(1773)}{\sqrt{[14(6576) -(300)^2][14(225649) -(1773)^2]}}=0.9534$

So then the correlation coefficient would be r =0.47719

What percentage of variation in y is explained by the least-squares model? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

The % of variation is given by the determination coefficient given by $r^2$ and on this case $0.47719^2 =0.2277$ , so then the % of variation explaines is 22.8%.

(d) If a female baby weighs 21 pounds at 1 year, what do you predict she will weigh at 30 years of age? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) ___ lb

So we can replace in the linear model like this:

$y=1.31 x +98.57=1.31*21 + 98.57 =126.08$

Dave was playing checkers with a friend. The ratio of games Dave won was 10:7. If Dave won 80 games, how many games did his frie

Mila [183]

The answer is 56! How you do this, is you take 80, and you multiply it by 7. Then you divide that answer by 10. Then you have your answer! I’m really bad at math but I do know how to do that!

Which equation represents a vertical line ?<br> y = -x <br> y = 12 <br> x = y <br> x = 12

OLEGan [10]

Y is a vertical axis
x is a horizontal axis
when drawing a line, the line drawn to them is perpendicular so lines only touching the x axis are vertical and lines touching only the y axis are horizontal

the
a vertical line is x=value

the only thing that works is x=12
