In an area of Russia, records were kept on the relationship between the rainfall (in inches) and the yield of
wheat (bushels per acre). The data for a 9-year period is as follows:
Rain Fall, x 13.1 11.4 16.0 15.1 21.4 12.9 9.6 18.2 18.6
Yield, y 48.5 44.2 56.8 80.4 47.2 29.9 74.0 74.0 76.8
The equation of the line of least squares is given as y = -9.12 +4.38x. What would be the expected number of
inches of rain if the yield is 63 bushels of wheat per acre? Round answer to the nearest tenth

6/20

step-by-step explanation:

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b

, and

for

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
