Answer:

<u>The dolphin's weight that differs most from the value predicted by this model is JoJo's (31 lb of difference)</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Name Length (ft) Weight (lb)

Snowflake 8.2 549

Shadow 7.4 501

Corky 8.4 557

Pax 7.6 519

JoJo 5.8 460

Blaze 6.8 488

Use the data from Pax and Snowflake to create a linear model that predicts the weight (y) of a dolphin given its length (X). Which dolphin's weight differs most from the value predicted by this model?

Let's elaborate the model this way:

Snowflake's length - Pax's length = 8.2 - 7.6 = 0.6 ft

Snowflake's weight - Pax's weight = 549 - 519 = 30 lb

Ratio = 30/0.6 = 50 lb/ft

This means that for every foot of length, the dolphin has a variable weight of 50 lb. However, if we multiply the ratio by the actual length of the two dolphins, we will have these results:

Snowflake = 50 * 8.2 = 410

Pax = 50 * 7.6 = 380

What is the common difference in both cases?

Snowflake = Actual weight - Ratio * Length = 549 - 410 = 139

Pax = Actual weight - Ratio * Length = 519 - 380 = 139

The common difference is 139. Therefore, the linear model that predicts the weight (y) of a dolphin given its length (X) is:

y = 139 + 50x

Now, let's use the linear equation or model to calculate the weight of the remaining four dolphins, as follows:

Blaze y = 139 + 50 * 6.8 = 479 ⇒ difference of 9 lb (488 - 479)

<u>JoJo y = 139 + 50 * 5.8 = 429 ⇒ difference of 31 lb (460 - 429)</u>

Corky y = 139 + 50 * 8.4 = 559 ⇒ difference of 2 lb (559 - 557)

Shadow y = 139 + 50 * 7.4 = 509 ⇒ difference of 8 lb (509 - 501)

<u>The dolphin's weight that differs most from the value predicted by this model is JoJo's (31 lb of difference)</u>

Point F is on circle C. What is the length of line segment GF? 12.5 units 15.0 units 17.5 units 20.0 units

geniusboy [140]

The answer:
According to the image, <span>the length of line segment GF can be found with
</span>GF= GC +CF
CF is one the radius, so CF=7.5
to find GC, we can apply Pythagorean theorem on the right triangle GEC
it is
GC² =GE² + EC² = 10² +7.5² =156.25, and then GC= sqrt(156.25)=12.5

therefore, GF= GC +CF=12.5+7.5=20

so the answer is <span>20.0 units</span>
