Three judges measure the lap times of a runner and each measurement is different from the others by a few hundredths of a second

Response:

Systematic error.

Step-by-step breakdown:

Assuming all judges are impartial, the most probable explanation for this discrepancy is the presence of systematic errors.

Systematic errors consist of issues caused by inaccuracies in the experimental design, whether regarding observation or measurement.

In this situation, the time it takes each judge to observe the finish and stop the timer might differ, leading to a systematic error.

To address this issue, the procedure below should be utilized:

 1- The Law of sines can be applied as follows:

 The unknown angle can be determined by: 180°-65°-45°=70°

 - The <span>distance Jake travels to the store is:

 30/Sin(70°)=x/Sin(45°)
 x=22.57

 - The distance Maddie travels to the store is:

 </span>30/Sin(70°)=y/Sin(65°)
<span> y=28.93

 - The difference calculated is: 6.36

Thus, the result shows that the difference is 6.36 m.</span>

Leona [12618]

Answer:

a) Slope: \hat \beta_1 =\frac{7625.9}{1248.9}=6.106

Intercept: \hat \beta_o = 157.955 -6.106 (69.686)=-267.548

b) r=\frac{7625.9}{\sqrt{[1248.9][94228.8]}}=0.657

Additionally, the coefficient of determination is r^2 = 0.657^2 =0.432

Step-by-step explanation:

Definitions and data provided

The correlation coefficient is a measure that quantifies the strength of the relationship between two variable movements, denoted as r and ranging between -1 and 1.

The sum of squares refers to the total of the squared deviations, where deviation is defined as the difference between each value and the grand mean.

When performing multiple regression, the aim is to analyze the relationship between multiple independent variables and one dependent variable.

n=110, \sum x_i y_i = \sum (X-\bar X)(Y-\bar Y) =7625.9,\sum x^2_i=\sum (x-\bar x)^2 =1248.9, sum y^2_i=\sum(y-\bar y)^2 =94228.8

\sum Y_i =17375, \sum X_i = 7665.5

Part a

The slope can be calculated using this formula:

\hat \beta_1 =\frac{\sum (x-\bar x) (y-\bar y)}{\sum (x-\bar x )^2}

Following the substitutions, we have:

\hat \beta_1 =\frac{7625.9}{1248.9}=6.106

The intercept can be determined with this formula:

\hat \beta_o = \bar y -\hat \beta_1 \bar x

Average values for x and y can be calculated this way:

\bar X=7665.5/110 =69.686, \bar y= 17375/110=157.955

Replacing yields:

\hat \beta_o = 157.955 -6.106 (69.686)=-267.548

Part b

The correlation coefficient can be calculated using the following formula:

r=\frac{\sum (x-\bar x)(y-\bar y) }{\sqrt{[\sum (x-\bar x)^2][\sum(y-\bar y)^2]}}

In our situation:

n=110, \sum x_i y_i = \sum (X-\bar X)(Y-\bar Y) =7625.9,\sum x^2_i=\sum (x-\bar x)^2 =1248.9, sum y^2_i=\sum(y-\bar y)^2 =94228.8

We can compute the correlation coefficient by substituting values:

r=\frac{7625.9}{\sqrt{[1248.9][94228.8]}}=0.657

The coefficient of determination is r^2 = 0.657^2 =0.432

Initially, there were only 86 weeds in the garden. The weeds grew at a rate of 29% each week. The following function represents
AnnZ [12381]

Step-by-step answer:

The base of the exponential function is set at 1.29 for a period of 7 days, which is expressed as

f(x) = 86*(1.29)^x

To determine the daily rate, divide the variable x by 7 (keeping x as the number of weeks), resulting in

f(x) = 86*1.29^(x/7)

Applying the exponent rule, b^(x/a) = b^(x*(1/a)) = (b^(1/a))^x

we can simplify by setting b=1.29, a=7 to arrive at

f(x) = 86*(1.29^(1/7))^x

f(x) = 86*(1.037)^x since evaluating 1.29^(1/7) yields approximately 1.037

Rounding 1.037 to 1.04 gives a (VERY) rough estimate function

f(x) = 86 * (1.04^x)

1.04 is only an approximation because 1.04^7 is expected to return 1.29, it actually results in 1.316; meanwhile, 1.037^7 returns 1.2896, which is much closer to 1.29.
