For a set of data, x is the explanatory variable. Its mean is 8.2, and its standard deviation is 1.92. For the same set of data, y is the response variable. Its mean is 13.8, and its standard deviation is 3.03. The correlation was found to be 0.223.Select the correct slope and y-intercept for the least-squares line.
a. Slope = -0.35
y-intercept = -10.9
b. Slope = -0.35
y-intercept = 10.9
c. Slope = 0.35
y-intercept = -10.9
d. Slope = 0.35
y-intercept = 10.9

Slope & Intercept are : D) 0.35 , 10.9

Regression is the relationship between explanatory (independent) & dependent variable, which are x & y respectively.

The regression equation y = a + bx + c has intercept & slope a & b respectively , formula for finding them are as follows :

b = r ( σy / σ x )

0.223 ( 3.03 / 1.92 )

= 0.223 (1.578125)

= 0.3519

a = Y' - bX'

a = 13.8 - 0.3519 ( 8.2 )

= 13.8 - 2.8558

= 10.91

Regression Equation : y = 10.9 + 0.35x

Answer 2
Answer:

Answer:

d. Slope = 0.35

y-intercept = 10.9

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Data given in the question

Mean \bar X = 8.2

The standard deviation  of x = \sigma = 1.92

Mean \bar Y = 13.8

The standard deviation  of y = \sigma = 3.03

The correlation = r = 0.223

Based on the above information,

As we know that

The slope is

b = r (\sigma y )/(\sigma x) \n\n = (0.223) ((3.03)/(1.92) \n\n = (0.223) (1.578125)

= 0.3519

Now the y-intercept is

a = \bar Y - b \bar X \n\n

= 13.8  - (0.351922) 8.2

= 13.8 - 2.88579

= 10.91

The owner of a busy coffee shop wanted to see if it was worth keeping tea on the menu. She logged the number of cups of tea she sold each day for seven days.6 12 5 7 7 3 9
Calculate the mean, median, range, and midrange of the number of cups of tea sold for the week.

Answers

Answer:

mean = 7

median = 7

range = 9

mid range = 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

3, 5, 6, 7, 7, 9, 12

Range is the difference between the highest and lowest values of a set of observations

Range = highest value - lowest value

12 - 3 = 9  

Median can be described as the number that occurs in the middle of a set of numbers that are arranged either in ascending or descending order

3, 5, 6, 7, 7, 9, 12

median = 7

Mean is the average of a set of numbers. It is determined by adding the numbers together and dividing it by the total number

Mean = sum of the numbers / total number

(6 + 12 + 5 + 7+  7 + 3 + 9) / 7 = 7

Mid range = (highest value + lowest value) / 2

(12 + 3) / 2 = 7.5
