Imagine that you have plotted many data points on an xy-plane. Your points seem to align into a clear best-fit line. Do you thin

k this best-fit line can help you make predictions about future data? Explain your answer, and give one or more examples to support it.

It depends really. If you stay close to the present, then predicting future results isn't too bad. The further you go out, the more unpredictable things get. This is because the points may deviate from the line of best fit (aka regression line) as time wears on. Of course, it also depends on what kind of data we're working with. Some pairs of variables are naturally going to correlate very strongly together. An example would be temperature versus ice cream sales.

stich3 [128]
To apply a scale to a measure, you have to follow this rule:

Real measure x Scale = Scaled measure

So the drawings will have:

4 x 1/24 = 0'167 feet
6 x 1/24 = 0'25 feet
<span>Windows: 0'167 by 0'25 feet
</span>
<span>12 x 1/24 = 0'50 feet
</span><span>8 x 1/24 = 0'33 feet
</span>Doors: 0'33 by <span>0'50 feet</span>

The heights of 82 roller coasters have a mean of 285.2 feet and a population standard deviation of 59.3 feet. Find the standardi
taurus [48]

Answer:

0.7673

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following:

The null and alternative hypothesis is,

H0: m = 290

Ha: m> 290

x = 285.2

m = 290

sd = 59.3

n = 82

is m the mean, sd the standard deviation and n the population size

Now we calculate the value of z like this:

z = (x - m) / sd / (n ^ (1/2))

z = (285.2 - 290) / 59.3 / (82 ^ (1/2))

z = -0.73

now

P (z> -0.73) = 1 - P (z <-0.73)

we look at the normal distribution table

P = 1 - 0.2327 = 0.7673

Therefore the value of p is equal to 0.7673
