For a specific species of fish in a pond, a wildlife biologist wants to build a regression equation to predict the weight of a f

ish based on its length. The biologist collects a random sample of this species of fish and finds that the lengths vary from 0.75 to 1.35 inches. The biologist uses the data from the sample to create a single linear regression model. Would it be appropriate to use this model to predict the weight of a fish of this species that is 3 inches long

Answer: First of all, we will add the options.

A. Yes, because 3 inches falls above the maximum value of lengths in the sample.

B. Yes, because the regression equation is based on a random sample.

C. Yes, because the association between length and weight is positive.

D. No, because 3 inches falls above the maximum value of lengths in the sample.

E. No, because there may not be any 3-inch fish of this species in the pond.

The correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation: It would not be appropriate to use the model to predict the weight of species that is 3 inches long because 3 inches falls above the maximum value of lengths in the sample.

As we can see from the question, the model only accounts for species that are within the range of 0.75 to 1.35 inches in length, and species smaller or larger than that length have not been taken into consideration. Therefore the model can not be used to predict the weights of fishes not with the range accounted for.

Use forward and backward difference approximations of O(h) and a centered difference approximation of O(h2) to estimate the firs
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Answer has explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the function is:

F(x) = 25x3 – 6x2 +7x -88

Differentiate with respect to x, we get

F’(x) = 25. 3x2 – 6.2x + 7

       = 75x2 – 12x +7

At x = 2, we have

F (2) = 25(2)3 – 6(2)2 + 7(2)-88

        =102

And f’(2) = 75(2)2 – 12 (2) +7

               =283

Now, calculate forward divided difference as:

xi + 1 = xi + h

        =2 + 0.25

        =2.25

F (xi + 1) = f (2.25) = 25 (2.25)3 – 6(2.25)2 +7(2.25) -88

                            =182.21

f’(2) = f(2.25) – f(2) / 0.25 = 182.21 – 102 / 0.25

                                             = 320.84

Єt = 283 – 320.8 / 283 = -13.36%

Now calculate backward divided difference:

Xi-1 = xi –h = 2 – 0.25 = 1.75

F(xi-1)= f(1.8) = 25 . (1.8)3 -6 (1.8)2 + 7 (1.8) – 88

                       = 50.96

F’(2) = f(2) – f(1.8) / 0.25 = 102 – 50.96 / 0.25 = 204.16

Єt = 283 – 204.16 / 283 = 27.86%

Finally, centered divided difference is obtain by inserting f(xi+1) and f (xi-1):

F’(2) = f(2.25) – f(1.8) /2 x 0.25 = 320.84 -50.96 / 0.5 = 539.68

Єt = 283 – 539.68 / 283 = -90.7%

Molly has cups of sugar. She used cup of sugar. She wants to model a subtraction problem on a number line to find how much sugar
vovangra [49]
I am going off the assumption that by "She used a cup of sugar" you mean that she used 1 cup of sugar. Since the model shows that her first step starts with 1.5, that means that she loses 1 cup, and moves 1 unit to the left. She is left with 0.5 cups of sugar.
B. She only moves 1 unit to the left.

Show a way to count from 170 to 410 using tens and hundreds. circle at least 1 benchmark number
Anastasy [175]
Benchmark are numbers that are used as standards to which the rest of the data is compared to. When counting numbers using a number line, the benchmark numbers are the intervals written on the axis. For benchmark numbers of 10, the number line on top of the attached picture is shown. Starting from 170, the tick marks are added by 10, such that the next numbers are 180, 190, 200, and so on and so forth. When you want to find 410, just find the benchmark number 410.

The same applies to benchmark numbers in intervals of 100. If you want to find 170, used the benchmark numbers 100 and 200. Then, you estimate at which point represents 170. For 410, you base on the benchmark numbers 400 and 500.
