Bargain Rental Car offers rental cars in an off-airport location near a major tourist destination in California. Management would like to better understand the variable and fixed portions of it car washing costs. The company operates its own car wash facility in which each rental car that is returned is thoroughly cleaned before being released for rental to another customer. Management believes that the variable portion of its car washing costs relates to the number of rental returns. Accordingly, the following data have been compiled:
Month Rental Returns Car Wash Costs
January 2,300 $ 10,200
February 2,500 $ 12,700
March 2,700 $ 11,000
April 2,900 $ 13,100
May 3,600 $ 15,400
June 4,900 $ 21,700
July 5,400 $ 21,400
August 5,300 $ 20,200
September 4,600 $ 22,000
October 3,800 $ 18,700
November 2,100 $ 9,900
December 2,500 $ 11,400
2. Using least-squares regression, estimate the variable cost per rental return and the monthly fixed cost incurred to wash cars. What is the R2 rounded to the nearest whole percentage? (Round Fixed cost to the nearest whole dollar amount and the Variable cost per unit to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Variable cost $3.79 ; fixed cost = $2185.47

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

Rental return(x) :

2300

2500

2700

2900

3600

4900

5400

5300

4600

3800

2100

2500

Car wash cost :

10200

12700

11000

13100

15400

21700

21400

20200

22000

18700

9900

11400

Using the online regression calculator :

The obtained regression equation is :

ŷ = 3.79X + 2185.47

Comparing the obtained result with the general form of the equation:

y = mx + c

Where m = gradient or slope whose value gives the variation in cost per rental return (x)

c = intercept, which is constant or fixed, it is the value where the regression line crosses the y axis, hence, it corresponds to the fixed cost.

Hence,

The variable cost per rental return(m)

mx = 3.79x

m = $3.79

The fixed cost :

c = $2185.47

Use known logical equivalences to prove that a → (b → c) is logically equivalent to (a ^ b) → c.

Answers

Answer:-

a ∨ ( b ∨ c )    ⇔ (a ∨ b )∨ c ⇔ (a∧b)∨c ⇔(a∧b)→c

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation :-

we know that   b→ c ⇔ b∨c

Replacing b→ c ⇔ b ∨ c , we get

               a → b ∨ c ,

By the same rule b→ c ⇔ b∨c

                     ⇒   a ∨ ( b ∨ c )

Now

 a ∨ ( b ∨ c )    ⇔ (a ∨ b )∨ c ⇔ (a∧b)∨c ⇔(a∧b)→c

An ad for an above-ground pool states that it is 25 m2. From the ad, you can tell that the pool is a circle. If you swim from one point at the edge of the pool to another, along a straight line, what is the longest distance d you can swim? Express your answer in three significant figures.

Answers

Answer:

d ≈ 5.64 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the pool is circular and that the area is 25 m².

Now, the longest chord that connects two points in a circle is the diameter.

Thus, the longest distance d will be the diameter

Area of circle is given by the formula;

A = πr²

Thus;

25 = πr²

r² = 25/π

r = √(25/π)

r = 5/√π

Diameter is twice the radius. Thus;

d = 2 × 5/√π

d = 10/√π

d ≈ 5.64 m

Margaret drove to a business appointment at 90 mph. Her average speed on the return trip was 80 mph. The return trip took 1/4
hr longer because of heavy traffic. How far did she travel to the appointment?

Answers

Distance = speed x time

Let the time to the appointment = x

The time home would be x + 1/4 hour

set up an equation you have 90x = 80(x + 1/4)

Simplify:

90x = 80x + 20

Subtract 80x from both sides:

10x = 20

Divide both sides by 10:

x = 2 hours

Distance = 90 x 2 = 180 miles

As of mid-2016, the world's population was about 7.4 billion people. The population of Country A was 226 million. In mid-2016, what percent of the world's population was the Country A population? Round your answer as a percentage to one decimal place.

Answers

Answer:

The percentage of country A population to the world population

= 3.05%

Step-by-step explanation:

Country A population as of 2016

= 226 million

= 226000000

The world population as of 2016

= 7.4 billion

= 7400000000

The percentage of country A population to the world population

= Country A population /The world population

The percentage of country A population to the world population

= 226000000/7400000000

The percentage of country A population to the world population

= 0.03054

Now multiplying by 100

= 3.05%

The percentage of country A population to the world population is  3.05%

Given that,

As of mid-2016, the world's population was about 7.4 billion people. The population of Country A was 226 million.

Based on the above information, the calculation is as follows:

[tex]= 226000000\div 7400000000[/tex]

= 0.03054

= 3.05%

Wetlands offer a diversity of benefits. They provide a habitat for wildlife, spawning grounds for U.S. commercial fish, and renewable timber resources. In the last 200 years, the United States has lost more than half its wetlands. Environmental Almanac gives the percentage of wetlands lost in each state in the last 200 years. For the lower 48 states, the percentage loss of wetlands per state is as follows:
46 37 36 42 81 20 73 59 35 50
