OpenStudy (amistre64):

Coef means: coefficient. the coef for the constant term (the y intercept) is given the coef for the variable term (the slope) is given

OpenStudy (amistre64):

hmm, it appears that they already GIVE you the regression equation where it says: "The regression equation is"

OpenStudy (math2400):

@ganeshie8 if u get a second lmk if u could help me out with this one ><

OpenStudy (math2400):

would it be: 0.92 + 2.06x ?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

almost, it says to round to 3 decimal places

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

you picked the right numbers, you just need to round differently

OpenStudy (math2400):

so like 0.920 + 2.060x ?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

look at the table again

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

the constant is 0.919 and the coefficient is 2.0647, which rounds to 2.065

OpenStudy (math2400):

ok and then for the next question do i just plug in 25 C to get 52.42 or do I use the graph?

OpenStudy (math2400):

*table

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

use the function, let x = 25

OpenStudy (math2400):

so 52.544 ?

OpenStudy (math2400):

thank you so much @Vocaloid you're the only one who has been able to help me on this one lol. it goes on to ask: the percent of the variation in beak heat loss is explained by the straight-line relationship with temperature is ______. Round your answer to one decimal place. so it would it be 83.6% ?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

yup!

OpenStudy (math2400):

awesome and then the last one says: Using the information in Figure 4.9, the correlation r between beak heat loss and temperature is ______. Round your answer to 3 decimal places. Is it 4.507??

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

nope they give you r^2, just take the square root of that to find r

OpenStudy (math2400):

wait which is r^2?

OpenStudy (math2400):

@Vocaloid

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

R-Sq

OpenStudy (math2400):

so change it to 0.824 and square root to get 0.908 ?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

yes

OpenStudy (math2400):

Thank you so much :)
