You are the foreman of the Bar-S cattle ranch in Colorado. A neighboring ranch has calves for sale, and you are going to buy some calves to add to the Bar-S herd. How much should a healthy calf weigh? Let x be the age of the calf (in weeks), and let y be the weight of the calf (in kilograms). x 3 4 12 16 26 36 y 37 46 77 100 150 200 x 3 4 12 16 26 36 y 37 46 77 100 150 200 Complete parts (a) through (e), given Σx = 97, Σy = 610, Σx2 = 2397, Σy2 = 81,914, Σxy = 13,919, and r ≈ 0.999. (e) Find the value of the coefficient of determination r2. What percentage of the variation in y can be explained by the corresponding variation in x and the least-squares line? What percentage is unexplained? (Round your answer for r2 to three decimal places. Round your answers for the percentages to one decimal place.) r2 = ? explained ?% unexplained ?%
Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
