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 properties to rewrite the given equation. Which equations have the same solution as 2 3p-10.1 = 6.5p - 4 - 0.01p? Select two
SSSSS [86.1K]

2.3p - 10.1 = 6.5p - 4 - 0.01p

If we multiply this equation by 100 we have

230p - 1010 = 650p - 400 - p

So the right answer is this

Leo's townhouse has a market value of $310,000. The property in Leo's area is assessed at 40% of the market value. The tax rate
miss Akunina [59]
Market value = $310,000

Since market value for tax purposes is 40% of the actual market value, 

Market value for tax assessment = $310,000*40%  = $124,000

Tax rate per $1000 of assessed valuation = $145.10  or 14.51% of the assessed value

Hence tax to be paid by leo = $124000*14.51% = $17992.40

Devin borrowed $1,058 at 13 percent for nine months. What will he pay in interest?
Viktor [21]

Devin borrowed $1,058 at 13 percent for nine months.

We have to calculate the interest paid.

Interest = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100}

Substituting the values of

Principal = $1058

Rate = 13%

Time = 9 months = \frac{9}{12} year

Interest = \frac{1058 \times 13 \times 9}{12 \times 100}

Interest = 103.155

= 103.16

So, Devin will pay 103.16 as the interest.

Therefore, Option A is the correct answer.

Given the first type of plot indicated in each pair: which of the second plots could not always be generated from it? a. dot plo
Elenna [48]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Dot plot is usually in the form of stem & leaf. The only difference is that, stem& leaf presents the actual values while dot plot usually represent the value in dots. Hence, we can easily generate dot plot from stem & leaf!

For (a) dot plot and box plot, dot plot presents all the data while box plot presents only the five-num statistics, namely:

1. minimum

2. 1st quartile (Q1)

3. median

4. 3rd quartile (Q3)

5. Maximum

And outliers, if any!

Thus, dot plot cannot directly generate box plot

For (b). Histogram and stem & leaf. Although both usually help us understand the skewness of data distribution, however, histogram deals with frequency distribution (counts of number of occurrence) and plotted on the intervals and stem&leaf list the values.

For (d). Even though dot plot shoots up and down like the histogram, the content is different. In dot plot, it is the actual value represented in dots. But in histogram, it is the frequency distribution of the class intervals.
