Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

a)

The dependent variable is

Y: length of a dugong

The explanatory variable is

X: age of a dugong

You need to estimate the linear regression of the length of the dugongs as a function of their age.

Using the given data I've estimated the regression using a statistic software:

The regression model is E(Yi)= α + βXi

The estimated model is ^Yi= a + bXi

Where a is the estimate of the intercept and b is the estimate of the slope:

a= 2.02

b= 0.03

And the estimate of the population variance of the error is Se²= 0.03

The estimated regression equation is ^Yi= 2.02 + 0.03Xi

b)

You have to estimate the length of a dugong when its age is 11 years using the model, for this all you have to do is replace X=11 in the regression line and calculate the corresponding ^Y value:

^Yi= 2.02 + 0.03*11= 2.35

The average length of an 11-year-old dugong should be 2.35.

I hope it helps!

A study of immunizations among school‑age children in California found that some areas had rates of unvaccinated school‑age chil
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Probability that none of the 20 children in such a classroom would be unvaccinated is 0.055.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a classroom of 20 children in one such area where 13.5% of children are unvaccinated.

If there are no siblings in the classroom, we are willing to consider the vaccination status of the 2020 unrelated children to be independent.

The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution;

P(X=r) = \binom{n}{r} \times p^{r} \times (1-p)^{n-r} ; x = 0,1,2,3,......

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 20 children

            r = number of success = none of the 20 children

            p = probability of success which in our case is probability that

                   children are unvaccinated, i.e; p = 13.5%

<u><em>Let X = Number of children that are unvaccinated</em></u>

So, X ~ Binom(n = 20, p = 0.135)

Now, Probability that none of the 20 children in such a classroom would be unvaccinated is given by = P(X = 0)

           P(X = 0)  =  \binom{20}{0} \times 0.135^{0} \times (1-0.135)^{20-0}

                          =  1\times 1 \times 0.865^{20}

                          =  0.055

<em>Hence, the probability that none of the 20 children in such a classroom would be unvaccinated is 0.055.</em>

Which quadratic equation is equivalent to (x – 4)2 – (x – 4) – 6 = 0?
Viktor [21]

I hope choices must be given in the problem.

I am showing the method to find the equivalent equation of the above equation. You can match with your given choices.

First step is to expand the first term. So,

(x-4)² = (x - 4)(x - 4) Since a²= a*a

= x² - 4x - 4x + 4 * 4 By multiplying.

= x² -8x + 16 Combine the like terms.

So, (x - 4)² - (x -4) - 6

= x² - 8x + 16 - x + 4 - 6

= x² - 9x + 14 Combine the like terms.

So, equivalent equation of the above equation is x² - 9x + 14 = 0.

YOU DONT HAVE TO DO ALL IF YOU DONT WANT TO JUST DO WHAT YOU CAN
Vikki [24]

Answer:

(Warning) Not sure this is completley correct but this is just what I did.

Part A

Does the data for Amit’s puppy show a function? Why or why not?

It does show a function because it passes the vertical line test (no two points have the same x value).

Part B

Is the relationship for Amit’s puppy’s weight in terms of time linear or nonlinear? Explain your response.

Nonlinear because the line isn’t straight

Part C

Is the relationship between Amit’s puppy’s weight in terms of time increasing or decreasing? Explain your response.

Increasing because it is gaining weight

Part D

Does the data for Camille’s puppy show a function? Why or why not?

Yes, it does, because each input value has a unique output value

Part E

Is the relationship for Camille’s puppy’s weight in terms of time linear or nonlinear? Explain your response.

It is a linear function because the line has no curve, and the line is constant.

Part F

Is the relationship between Camille’s puppy’s weight in terms of time increasing or decreasing? Explain your response.

Increasing because as the puppy gets older it gains weight.

Part G

Does the data for Olivia’s puppy show a function? Why or why not?

Yes, it does, because each input value has a unique output value. The graph attached ( which shows the data for Camille’s puppy), that each x-value (Weeks) has a unique y-value (Weight in pounds).

Therefore, based on this and keeping in mind the explanation before, you can conclude that the data for Camille’s puppy shows a function.

Part H

Is the relationship for Olivia’s puppy’s weight in terms of time linear or nonlinear? Explain your response

Yes, it linear because it’s a straight line.

Part I

Is the relationship for Olivia’s puppy’s weight in terms of time increasing or decreasing? Explain your response. Increasing. For every week that goes by, Olivia's puppy is gaining one pound. 6-5= 1  14-13= 1. Gaining a pound every week makes the puppy’s weight increase.

Part J

Which two relationships have a y-intercept and a constant rate of change?

They all have y-intercepts and only Olivia and camilles have a constant rate of change.

Part A

To compare the linear functions, you first need to find their equations. For each of the linear functions, write an equation to represent the puppy’s weight in terms of the number of weeks since the person got the puppy.

Linear equation, y=mx+b

Exponential equation, y=a(b)×

Part B

Now you can compare the functions. In each equation, what do the slope and y-intercept represent in terms of the situation?

The y-intercept in the situation is 2/6.

Part C

Whose puppy weighed the most when the person got it? How much did it weigh?

Olivia’s puppy, it weighed 5 pounds

Part D

Whose puppy gained weight the slowest? How much did it gain per week?

Olivia’s puppy gained weight the slowest because it started off with more weight but only gained around 1 pound every week.

Part E

You can also graph the functions to compare them. Using the Edmentum Graphing Tool, graph the two linear functions. Paste a screenshot of the two functions in the space provided. How could you find which puppy had a greater initial weight from the graph? How could you find which puppy gained weight the slowest?

The edmentum graphing tool is opening up I tried it more than once but, the linear graphs would be Camille puppy and olivia's. And I could tell which one had a greater weight by how much they had at week 1 and how much they gained the weeks later. I could find which puppy gained weight the slowest by looking at the weight gained and graphed.

A spherical container has a radius of 9 centimeters. It is filled with a solution that costs $2.10 per cubic centimeters.
vitfil [10]
Hello! For this question, first, we have to find the area of the spherical container. The formula for finding the area of a sphere is 4/3πr³. We raise the radius to the 3rd power and multiply it by pi (3.14). The radius is 9 cm. 9³ is 729. There's that number. Now, we multiply 81 by 3.14 to get the total area of the square. 729 * 3.14 is 2,289.06. Now, multiply that by 4/3. 2,289.06/1 * 4/3 is 3,052.08. The volume of the sphere is 3,052.08 cubic centimeters. Which brings us to the next part. Now, we can find the price of the solution by multiplying the area by the price. 3,052.08 * 2.10 is 6,409.368 or 6,409.37 when rounded to the nearest cent. The total value of the solution in the container is $6,409.37.
