The residual plot for a data set is shown below...

Based on the residual plot, which statement best explains whether the regression line is a good model for the data set and why?




A. The regression line is not a good model because there is no pattern in the residuals.


B. The regression line is a good model because the residuals are randomly distributed.


C. The regression line is not a good model because only one point in the residual plot is on the x-axis.


D. The regression line is a good model because there is one point in the residual plot on the x-axis.

Answers

Answer 1

Based on the residual plot given, the statement that describes if the model is good is B. The regression line is a good model because the residuals are randomly distributed.

Why is the residual line a good model?

For a model to be considered ideal or good, the residuals from the model should be randomly distributed in an equal manner around the regression line.

The residual plot shows that the residuals are randomly distributed which means that the regression line is a good model.

The price of an item has risen to $187 today. Yesterday it was $110. Find the percentage increase.

Answers

Answer:

Percent increase is 70%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price was $110. That will go on the bottom (denominator) in our calculation. On the top (numerator) we put the change in the dollar amount. The new price is $187. So we'll subtract:

187 - 110

= 77

The change in price was $77.

change/original

= 77/110

= 0.7

Change the decimal answer to a percent by multiplying by 100.

0.7 × 100

= 70%

The percent increase is 70%.

Does the following series converge or diverge?

Answers

Answer:

converge

Step-by-step explanation:

the reason is : the individual terms of the series get smaller and smaller towards 0, and therefore the sum converges to a certain limit.

why do I know that the individual terms get smaller and smaller ?

because the terms are ultimately (with n getting very large the constant factors added constants become irrelevant)

n / (n^(3/2))

as sqrt(n³) = n^(3/2)

and n^(3/2) progresses much faster and stronger than n (or n¹), as 3/2 is larger than 1.

so, the denominator (bottom) of that fraction grows stronger than the numerator (top), and the terms go therefore against 0 with larger and larger n.

The exponential equation modeling this relationship is given as follows:

What is an exponential equation?

An exponential equation is modeled by:

f(x) = a(b)^x

In which:

a is the initial value, that is, the value of y when x = 0.b is the rate of change.

For this problem, we have that when x = 0, y = 8, hence a = 8. Then:

f(x) = 8(b)^x.

When x = 1, y = 4, hence b is found as follows:

f(x) = 8(b)^x.

4 = 8b

b = 0.5.

Hence the equation is:

f(x) = 8(0.5)^x.

A golf lesson lasts from 10:00 a.m. - 11:15 a.m. and includes a 15 minute break with equal lengths of time before and after the break. At what time should the break start?

Answers

The time at which the break started is 10 : 30 am.

What time did the break start?

The first step is to convert the time between  10:00 a.m. - 11:15 a.m. to minutes.

The time  between  10:00 a.m. - 11:15 a.m. is 1 hour 15 minutes

In order to convert hours to minutes, multiply hour by 60

1 x 60 = 60 minutes

60 minutes +  15 minutes =  75 minutes

The second step is to subtract the time from the break from the duration of the golf lesson

75 minutes -  15 minutes = 60 minutes

The third step is to divide 60 minutes into equal halves by dividing 60 by 2

60 / 2 = 30 minutes

The last step is to add 30 minutes to the time the lesson started : 10 : 00 am + 30 minutes = 10 : 30 am

A right triangle has a base of 8 1/2 inches and a height of 12 1/2. If the height is reduced to 4 inches, how many inches is the new base?

Answers

The length of the new base is 26.56 inches or [tex]26\frac{14}{25}[/tex] inches. Using the area of a right triangle, the required base is calculated.

How the area of a right triangle is calculated?

The area of the right triangle is given by

A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × b × h sq. units

Where A -area; b -base; h -height;

Calculation:

It is given that,

The right triangle has a base of length b = 8 1/2 = 8.5 inches and a height of length h = 12 1/2 = 12.5 inches.

So, its area is

A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 8.5 × 12.5 = 53.125 sq. inches

When the height of the right triangle is reduced to 4 inches,

53.125 = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × b × 4

⇒ b = 53.125/2

∴ b = 26.56 or [tex]26\frac{14}{25}[/tex] inches

Thus, the length of the new base is 26.56 or [tex]26\frac{14}{25}[/tex] inches.

System of Linear Equations

From the question, we are to determine if each ordered pair is a solution to the given system of equations

The given system of equations is

-9x + 2y = 6

5x - 3y = 8

For (7, 9)

That is,

x = 7, y = 9

Putting the values into the first equation

Is -9(7) + 2(9) = 6

-63 + 18 = 6

-45 ≠ 6

Thus, (7,9) is not a solution

For (0, 3)

That is,

x = 0, y = 3

Putting the values into the first equation

Is -9(0) + 2(3) = 6

0 + 6 = 6

6 = 6

The ordered pair satisfies the first equation

Testing for the second equation

Is 5(0) - 3(3) = 8

0 - 9 = 8

-9 ≠ 8

Thus, (0, 3) is not a solution

For (5, -4)

That is,

x = 5, y = -4

Putting the values into the first equation

Is -9(5) + 2(-4) = 6

-45 - 8 = 6

-53 ≠ 6

Thus, (-5,4) is not a solution

For  (-2, -6)

That is,

x = -2, y = -6

Putting the values into the first equation

Is -9(-2) + 2(-6) = 6

18 - 12 = 6

6 = 6

The ordered pair satisfies the first equation

Testing for the second equation

Is 5(-2) -3(-6) = 8

-10 + 18 = 8

8 = 8

The ordered pair satisfies the second equation

∴ The ordered pair that is a solution to the system of equations is (-2, -6)

Hence, the only ordered pair that is a solution to the given system of equations is (-2, -6)

From the above list, we can see that the numbers are consecutive numbers.

This means that, the count of numbers in the list is

Count = Highest - Least + 1

Where

Highest = b

Least = a

If a square were the initial shape, then there are five shapes—three of which are squares and the other two are triangles—that don't have any touching portions. Given that a square takes up twice as much room, this value is probably lower, but location also matters.
