A computer printout of a linear regression predicting INCOME based on years of EDUCATION contained:

B    = -92040,   s = 3213       t = 6.67
  0

B   = 228        R = 0.66        df = 23
  1

Which of the following is a correct interpretation of B   ?
                                                                            0

A) We expect to predict INCOME to within 2(92040) of its true value using the equation.
B) We estimate INCOME to decrease $92040 for every 1 year of increase in EDUCATION.
C) We estimate the lowest INCOME of the highest value of EDUCATION of -$92,040
D) The value is highly suspicious depending on whether the years of education of 0 is possible and reasonable.
E) None of these are correct.


Which of the following statements is not correct?

A) The correlation coefficient is approximately 0.81
B) R^2 is a measure of the direction of the relationship between INCOME and EDUCATION.
C) The slope of the regression line is 228.
D) It cannot be determined from the information in the printout which quantity is the independent variable.
E) All are correct.

If a youg man rides his motor-cycle at 25km  per hour, he has to spend Rs. 2 per  km on petrol ; if he rides it at a faster speed of 40 km per hour , the petrol costs increases to Rs. 5 per km. He wishes to spend at most Rs.100 on petrol and wishes to find what is the maximum distance he can travel within one hour . Express this as linear inequality problem and then solve it.

#58 Re: Help Me ! » Log » 2006-11-01 07:12:56

Sorry, your answer is incorrect.

your question is  log   64/27 =3
                            a

This can be written as a ^ 3 = 64/27

                                  a = (64/27)^(1/3)

                                  a = 4/3.

Hi,

Go through this site.

This is the answer for your question.

#67 Re: Help Me ! » Bodmas » 2006-10-28 06:27:05

First we have to do the powers.

So the answer would be

a) 5 - 1 x 4 - 2 = 62

Then we have to do the multiplication.

that is, 5-4-2 = 62.

Then we have to simplify as usual.

similaly the second.

The exponential form a^x = b can be written as,

                 log  b = x.
                    a

The problem is log 125 = 3.
                          b

It can be written as b^3 = 125.

                            b^3 = 5^3.

If it is a quadraic equation, then the equation is 3x^2-2x+5 = 0.

Then the solution is,

                          ____________________
                                         2*3


          x =    2 +- Sqrt(4 - 60)
                   _____________
                             6


          x = 2+- Sqrt(-54)
               ____________
                       6

         x = 2+- Sqrt( -9 * 6)

                          6

         x = 2 +-  3Sqrt(6) i
               ____________
