The Coast Starlight Amtrak train runs from Seattle to Los Angeles. The mean travel time from one stop to the next on the Coast Starlight is 129 mins, with a standard deviation of 113 minutes. The mean distance traveled from one stop to the next is 108 miles with a standard deviation of 99 miles. The correlation between travel time and distance is 0.636.

Required:
a. Write the equation of the regression line from predicting travel time.
b. Interpret the slope and the intercept in this context.
c. Calculate R2 of the regression line for predicting travel time from distance traveled for the Coast Starlight, and interpret R2 in the context of the application.

Answers

Answer 1

Solution :

a).

Given :

R = 0.636, [tex]$S_x = 99$[/tex], [tex]$S_y=113, M_x=108, M_y=129$[/tex]

Here R = correlation between the two variables

        [tex]$S_x , S_y$[/tex] =  sample standard deviations of the distance and travel time between the two train stops, respectively.

      [tex]$M_x, M_y$[/tex] = means of the distance and travel between two train stops respectively.

The slope of the regression line is given by :

Regression line, [tex]b_1[/tex]  [tex]$=R \times \left(\frac{S_y}{S_x}\right)$[/tex]

                            [tex]$=0.636 \times \left(\frac{113}{99}\right)$[/tex]

                            = 0.726

Therefore, the slope of the regression line [tex]b_1[/tex] is 0.726

The equation of the regression line is given by :

[tex]$\overline {y} = b_0+b_1 \overline x$[/tex]

The regression line also has to pass through the two means. That is, it has to pass through points (108, 129). Substituting these values in the equation of the regression line, we can get the value of the line y-intercept.

The y-intercept of the regression line [tex]$b_0$[/tex] is given by :

[tex]$b_0=M_y-(b_1 \times M_x)$[/tex]

  = 129 - (0.726 x 108)

  = 50.592

Therefore, the equation of the line is :

Travel time = 20.592 + 0.726 x distance

b).[tex]\text{ The slope of the line predicts that it will require 0.726 minutes}[/tex] for each additional mile travelled.

The intercept of the line, [tex]$b_0$[/tex] = 0.529 can be seen as the time when the distance travelled is zero. It does not make much sense in this context because  it seems we have travelled zero  distance in 50.529 minutes, but we could interpret it as that the wait time after which we start travelling and calculating the distance travelled and the additional time required per mile. Or we could view the intercept value as the time it takes to walk to the train station before we board the train. So this is a fixed quantity that will be added to travel time. It all depends on the interpretation.

c). [tex]$R^2=0.404$[/tex]

This means that the model accounts for around 40.4% variation in the travel time.

Answer:

Olivia will make 209 cookies on 11 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

if she makes 95 per 5 hours

we can make

5 + 5 = 10

this is the same as doing

95 + 95 = 190

now, for the 1 hour

95 : 5 = 19

now to verify it

19 x 5 = 95

now you make

95 + 95 + 15 = 209

What is the slope of the line passing through (-3, 5) and (5, -3)?

Answers

Answer:

The line has a slope of -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for the slope of the line, use the rise over run formula. The rise over run formula is a measure of how much something changes vertically compared to how much it changes in the horizontal direction. The rise over run formula calculates the difference between the two points in the vertical direction (rise) and then divide it by the difference in the horizontal direction (run). The formula looks like [tex]\frac{rise}{run}[/tex], but in terms of finding a slope, it looks like [tex]\frac{y_{2 }-y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }[/tex].

For finding the slope of this line with the points (-3,5) and (5,-3), start by writing down the information given from the question.

[tex]y_{2}=-3[/tex]

[tex]y_{1}= 5[/tex]

[tex]x_{2}=5[/tex]

[tex]x_{1} =-3[/tex]

Next, plug in the information given from the question into the formula, and the formula will look like [tex]\frac{-3-(5)}{5-(-3)}[/tex]. Then, simplify the equation, which will look like  [tex]\frac{-8}{8}=-1[/tex]. The final answer will be -1.

Which of the following is not an example of a parent function?

y=1/2
y=2^x

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (b)  y=2x^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The function y=2x^3 is an example of the parent function y=x^3 being vertically scaled by a factor of 2. As such, it is not the parent function.

_____

Additional comment

A parent function is one that has not been translated or scaled in any way. One could argue that the parent function of the form y=constant is y=1, so that the function y=1/2 has been scaled by a factor of 1/2. In this problem, we recognize the parent function y=x^3 has clearly been scaled to get y=2x^3, so the latter is not an example of a parent function.

If this is a "check all that apply" question, then y=1/2 is another reasonable answer.

Similar triangles are triangles in which the ratio of their corresponding sides are in the same proportion.

V is the midpoint of QS.

VS = 2a, QS = 2 * VS = 2(2a) = 4a

Since both triangles are similar triangles, hence:

\begin{gathered}\frac{VS}{QS}=\frac{VW}{QR}\\\\\frac{2a}{4a} =\frac{2a-2}{3a+6} \\\\\frac{2a-2}{3a+6} =\frac{1}{2} \\\\2(2a-2)=3a+6\\\\4a-4=3a+6\\\\a=10\ units\\\\VS=2a=2(10)=20\ units\end{gathered}

It helps to know what CPCTC means and how it's used.

CPCTC means "corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent."

To use it, you must first either prove two triangles to be congruent or be given that two triangles are congruent.

Once you have the congruent triangles, then you state that two corresponding parts of those triangles are congruent, and you use CPCTC as the reason.

In step 4, the triangles are proven congruent by SSS.

Then CPCTC can be used as reason 5 for stating that the corresponding angles A and C are congruent.

However, the data gbwre is time dependent, hence, it is a time series plot. Hence, this is a two dimensional univariate plot, with the acidity label of Rainfall on one axis and time on the other. Therefore, the graph which is best to display such information is the time series plot.
