We identify the y-intercepts -3and slopes 4respectively, without graphing the equation-

(a) determine whether it slopes is upward, slopes downward, or is horizontal, without graphing the equation.

(b) find its equation.

(c) use two points to graph the equation.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The slope of given intercept and slope is upward.

(b) the equation of the given term is y=4x-3.

(c) See the graph in Step 6.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given Information

We are given that the y-intercept is -3 and slope is 4 and we have to find out about the slope nature.

02

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation

Now, as we know that the given slope is4i.e., it is positive which means that y-value increases by 4for every increase in x by 1unit and whenever the slope will be positive it will be upward as it always increase the value of y.

Hence, the slope is upward.

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given Information

We are given that the y-intercept is -3and slope is 4and we have to find out about the slope nature.

04

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation

Now, as we know that the general equation of line is

y=mx+clet this be equation 1....

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

and as we are given that slope is4and y-intercept is -3.

put these value in equation 1...

we get,y=4x-3

Hence, this is the required equation.

05

Part (c) Step 1: Given Information

We are given that the y-intercept is -3 and slope is 4 and we have to find out about the slope nature.

06

Part (c) Step 2: Explanation

Now, we have find out the equation in part (b)

which isy=4x-3

To find out the points it should satisfy the equation..

Case I-

Put x=0and find the value of y,

we get localid="1650836146737" y=4(0)-3=3so, the point is localid="1650836151611" (0,3).

Case II-

Put y=localid="1650836157042" 11and find the value of x.

we get localid="1650836161559" 11=4x-3

rearranging localid="1650836165761" x=2so, the point islocalid="1650836170025" (2,11)

Now plot these two points on the graph

Hence this is the required graph.

Sample Covariance. For a set of n data points, the sample covariance, sxy+is given by

The sample covariance can be used as an alternative method for tinding the slope and y-intercept of a regression line. The formulas are

b1=sv/xk2andb0=y^-b1i^n

where sidenotes the sample standard deviation of the x-values.

a. Use Equation (4.1) to determine the sample covariance of the data points in Exercise 4,45.

b. Use Equation (4.2) and your answer from part (a) to find the regression equation. Compare your result to that found in Exercise 4.57.

In the article "Comparison of Fiber Counting by TV Screen and Eyepieces of Phase Contrast Microscopy" (Amer. icon Industrial Hyeiene Asseciution Journal, Vol. 63, Pp. 756-761), 1. Moa et al. reported on determining fiber density by two different methods. Twenty samples of varying fiber density were each counted by 10 viewers by means of an eyepiece method and a television screen method to determine the relationship between the counts done by each method. The results, in fibers per square millimeter, are presented on the Weiss Stats site.

(a). Decide whether use of the linear correlation coefficient as a descriptive measure for the data is

appropriate, If so, then also parts (b)and(c).

U.S. Presidents. The data from Exercise 4.71 for the ages at the inauguration and of death for the presidents of the United States are on the Weissstats site.

a. decide whether use of the linear correlation coefficient as a descriptive measure for the data is appropriate, If so, then also do parts (b) and (c).

b. obtain the linear correlation coefficient.

c. interpret the value of r in terms of the linear relationship between the two variables in question.

12. In the context of regression analysis, what is an

a. outlier?

b. influential observation?

Acreage and Value. The document Arizona Residential Property Valuation System, published by the Arizona Department of Revenue, describes how county assessors use computerized systems to value single-family residential properties for property tax purposes. On the Weiss Stats site are data on lot size (in acres) and assessed value (in thousands of dollars) for a sample of homes in a particular area.

a. Obtain a scatterplot for the data.

b. Decide whether finding a regression line for the data is reasonable. If so, then also do parts (c) - f).
