A research center is interested in investigating the height and age of children who are between 5 to 9 years old. In order to do this, a sample of 15 children is selected and the data are given below. Age (in years) Height (inches) 7 47.3 8 48.8 5 41.3 8 50.4 8 51 7 47.1 7 46.9 7 48 9 51.2 8 51.2 5 40.3 8 48.9 6 45.2 5 41.9 8 49.6 How much of the variation in the sample values of height does the model estimate

0.940

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

Age in years(X) Height(Y)

7 47.3

8 48.8

5 41.3

8 50.4

8 51

7 47.1

7 46.9

7 48

9 51.2

8 51.2

5 40.3

8 48.9

6 45.2

5 41.9

8 49.6

The proportion of Variation explained by the line of best fit in a regression model can be determined by calculating the Coefficient of determination (R²) of the model.

Using the online R² calculator, the variation in the sample values of height which is estimated by the model is 0.9696² = 0.94012416.

Hence about 0.94 or 94% variation in sample values of height is estimated by the model while (1 - 0.94 = 0.06 or 6%) is explained by other factors.

it is not that hard all u have to do is plot the graph

step-by-step explanation:

(b) 240

step-by-step explanation:

first, we use the pythagorean formula using the given side lengths to find x. then we use x to find the side lengths. then we add the side lengths to find the perimeter.

pythagorean theorem formula:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(x - 20)^2 + (x - 40)^2 = x^2

x^2 - 40x + 400 + x^2 - 80x + 1600 = x^2

x^2 -120x + 2000 = 0

(x - 100)(x - 20) = 0

x - 100 = 0 or x - 20 = 0

x = 100 or x = 20

we see that the solution x = 20 must be discarded because it will give a negative side length and a side length of 0. the only valid solution is x = 100.

perimeter = sum of the lengths of the sides

perimeter = x + x - 20 + x - 40

perimeter = 3x - 60

replace x with 100.

perimeter = 3(100) - 60

perimeter = 300 - 60

perimeter = 240
