A regression model can only predict values that are lower or higher than the actual value. As a result, the only way to determine the model's accuracy is through residuals.

What is regression ?

Regression is a statistical technique used in the fields of finance, investing, and other disciplines that aims to establish the nature and strength of the relationship between a single dependent variable (often represented by Y) and a number of independent variables (known as independent variables).

The most popular variation of this method is linear regression, which is also known as simple regression or ordinary least squares (OLS).

Based on a line of best fit, linear regression determines the linear relationship between two variables.

The slope of a straight line used to represent linear regression thus indicates how changing one variable affects changing another..

In a linear regression connection, the value of one variable when the value of the other is zero is represented by the y-intercept. Regression without linearity.

Hence, A regression model can only predict values that are lower or higher than the actual value.

The 1.5 standard deviations below the mean implies that the Z-score value will be equal to -1.5.

The test score 70 is 1.5 standard deviations below the mean .

We have given that,

The Score standardized test are Normally distributed,

Mean ,μ = 100

Standard deviations, s.d = 20

we have to calculate test score is 1.5 standard deviations below mean.

so, Z- score = -1.5

This is the z-score formula or z-score equation.

Z = (x − μ )/σ

Where, Z--> z-score

x---> the value in question

μ--> mean of the distribution

σ --> standard deviation of the distribution

plugging all known the value in formula

-1.5 = (x- 100)/20

=> -1.5 × 20 = x - 100

=> x = -30 + 100 = 70

So, 70 is the test score that is 1.5 standard deviations from the mean.

The HAACP principle addressed by cooking the duck breast to 165 degrees F is a 'critical limit'.

What is the critical limit?

A critical limit is a value to which a biological, chemical or physical factor must be controlled to prevent food safety hazards. These are the conditions under which potential hazards can be controlled, reduced, or eliminated. They are monitored by observation or measurement, such as measuring the temperature of food storage to avoid spoilage.

Critical limits are based on factors such as:

Temperature, Humidity, Moisture level, pH, Water activity (Aw), Time, Salt concentration, and Preservatives.

Production processes that fail to stay within the bounds of the critical limits must be stopped or the products must be discarded.

Hence the answer is critical limit.

The correct answer is:

Reject null hypothesis H0, we cannot conclude the proportion of customer complaints is more for the old dough.

As given in the question,

Let us consider proportion of customer complaints with old dough is p₁

And proportion of complaints with new dough is p₂

Difference in proportion of complaints in old and new dough

= p₁ - p₂

Null hypothesis : H0 : p1 ≥ p2

p₁ - p₂  ≥ 0

Alternative hypothesis : Ha : p1 < p2

p1 - p2 < 0

Let 'x' represents the number of complaints

Sample size = n

Sample proportion = x/n

Old dough:

Number of complains with old dough 'x₁' = 6

Number of pizzas with old dough 'n₁' = 385

p₁ = 6/385

   = 0.01558

   = 0.016

New dough:

Number of complains with new dough 'x₂' = 16

Number of pizzas with new dough 'n₂' = 340

p₂ = 16/340

   = 0.04705

   = 0.047

Pooled proportion test:

[tex]\bar{p}[/tex] = (x₁+ x₂)/(n₁ + n₂)

  = (6 + 16)/(385 + 340)

  = 0.0303

  = 0.03

1 -  [tex]\bar{p}[/tex] = 1 - 0.03

      = 0.97

z = (p₁ - p₂)/√[tex]\bar{p}[/tex](1 - [tex]\bar{p}[/tex])(1/n₁ + 1/n₂)

 = (0.016 - 0.047)/√(0.03)(0.97)(1/385 + 1/340)

 = (-0.031)/ √(0.03)(0.97)(0.0026 + 0.0029)

Step-by-step explanation:

Just write down exactly what it says!

The perimeter of a rectangle is 68 inches

68

The perimeter equals twice the length of L inches

68 = (2 × L)

Plus twice the width of 9 inches.

68 = (2 × L) + (2 × 9)

Let x be the number of pennies, and y  be the number of nickels.

1 nickel = 0.05 dollar.

The equations that will describe the given problem will be,

0.01 x + 0.05 y = 0.81

y = x + 9

Plugging the second equation into the first gives us,

0.01 x + 0.05(x+ 9) = 0.81

0.06 x + 0.45 = 0.81

0.06 x = 0.36

y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of chocolate bars which Mr Banda bought is equal to 50 chocolate bars.

In order to determine the number of chocolate bars and the number of hot chips that Carter bought, we would have to write a system of linear equation and assign variables to the number of chocolate bars and number of candies respectively, and then translate the word problem into algebraic equation as follows:

Since chocolate bars cost $1.1 each and hot chips 0.40 each and Mr Banda spent $87 on buying 130 chocolate bars and hot chips, we would have the following system of linear equation:

1.1x + 0.40y = 87    ......equation 1

x + y = 130              ......equation 2

From equation 2, we have:

y = 130 - x        ......equation 3

Substituting equation 3 into equation 1, we have:

1.1x + 0.40(130 - x) = 87

1.1x + 52 - 0.4x = 87

0.7x + 52 = 87

0.7x = 87 - 52

0.7x = 35

x = 35/0.7

X can take the values {3,4,5}

P(X = 5) = ([tex]\frac{1}{2} * \frac{1}{2} * \frac{1}{2} * \frac{1}{2} * \frac{1}{2}[/tex])*12

Now, According to the question:

We know:

The perimeter of the circumference is = 2[tex]\pi[/tex]r

If the perimeter of a sector is 4 times its radius.

then, the arc measure of the sector is (4r-2r) → 2r

So, if 2×[tex]\pi[/tex] radians (full circle) has a length → 2[tex]\pi[/tex]r

X  radians → 2× r  (the sector)

X=2× r ×(2×[tex]\pi[/tex])/(2[tex]\pi[/tex]r)

X = 2

Hence,  The radian measures of the central angle of the sector is 2.

15 different combinations can be used by John to buy the cake and the hammer.

Given,

John buys a cake at a bakery and a hammer at a hardware store

Number of hardware shops = 5

Number of bakeries = 3

We have to find the combinations of stores he can purchase;

Here,

5 hardware shops; H₁, H₂, H₃, H₄, H₅

3 bakeries; B₁, B₂, B₃

Now,

The combinations be like;

B₁ ; (H₁, H₂, H₃, H₄, H₅)

B₂ ; (H₁, H₂, H₃, H₄, H₅)

B₃ ; (H₁, H₂, H₃, H₄, H₅)

That is,

3 bakeries and 5 hardware shops

= 3 x 5

= 15

Therefore,

John can buy the cake and hammer in 15 different combinations.

The variable expression are

cost at each agency to rent a car for 280 miles

The company that has a lower cost for 400 miles

The required expression is a linear function

A linear function consists of functions where the variables has exponents of 1. The graph of linear functions is a straight line graph and the relationship is expressed in the form.

y = mx + c

Definition of variable to suit the problem

y = output variable (total cost/)

m = slope (cost  per mile driven)

x = input variable (number of miles)

c = y intercept (Car Rental charges)

The equation as described in the problem is represented using linear function as as follows

y = $0.18x + $27.60 - Blue Car Rental

y = $0.14x + $40.40 - Red Car Rental

the total cost at each agency to rent a car for one day and drive it 280 miles

y = $0.18x + $27.60 - Blue Car Rental

y = 0.18 * 280 + 27.60

y = $78

y = $0.14x + $40.40 - Red Car Rental

y = 0.14 * 280 + 40.40

y = $79.60

Write and solve an inequality

$0.18x + $27.60 < $0.14x + $40.40

0.18x + 27.60 < 0.14x + 40.40

0.18x - 0.14x < 40.40 - 27.60

0.04x < 12.80

x < 320 miles

Mr. Kao rents a car for one day

y = $0.18x + $27.60 - Blue Car Rental

y = 0.18 * 400 + 27.60

y = $99.60

y = $0.14x + $40.40 - Red Car Rental

y = 0.14 * 400 + 40.40

y = $96.40

comparing the both shows that Red Car Rental has a lower cost
