How many hours will it take to mow all of the lawns? (When is ŷ = 0?)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The number of hours taken to mow all the lawns is 1.125

Step by step solution

01

Step 1  Given Information

Given that the total area of the properties combined is 1,345 acres.

We have to find the hours that will take to mow all of the lawns

02

Explanation

Consider the given equation as given below:

y^=1350-1.2x

When all lawns are mowed, it means that no number of acres is left to mow, that is y^=0. Then, the number of hours taken to mow all the lawns is:

0=1350-1.2x

That is 1.2x=1350

x=13501.2

x=1.125

Ornithologists, scientists who study birds, tag sparrow hawks in \(13\) different colonies to study their population. They gather data for the percent of new sparrow hawks in each colony and the percent of those that have returned from migration.

Percent return:\(74; 66; 81; 52; 73; 62; 52; 45; 62; 46; 60; 46; 38\)

Percent new:\(5; 6; 8; 11; 12; 15; 16; 17; 18; 18; 19; 20; 20\)

a. Enter the data into your calculator and make a scatter plot.

b. Use your calculator’s regression function to find the equation of the least-squares regression line. Add this to your scatter plot from part a.

c. Explain in words what the slope and y-intercept of the regression line tell us.
