Answer:
B. y = -0.58x^2 -0.43x +15.75
Step-by-step explanation:
The data has a shape roughly that of a parabola opening downward. So, you'll be looking for a 2nd-degree equation with a negative coefficient of x^2. There is only one of those, and its y-intercept (15.75) is in about the right place.
The second choice is appropriate.
_____
The other choices are ...
A. a parabola opening upward
C. an exponential function decaying toward zero on the right and tending toward infinity on the left
D. a line with negative slope (This might be a good linear regression model, but the 2nd-degree model is a better fit.)
Answer:
For this case the 95% confidence interval is given (63.5 , 74.4) and we want to conclude about the result. For this case we can say that the true mean of heights for male students would be between 63.5 and 74.4. And the best answer would be:
b. The doctor can be 95% confident that the mean height of male students at the college is between 63.5 inches and 74.4 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Notation
represent the sample mean for the sample
population mean (variable of interest)
s represent the sample standard deviation
n represent the sample size
Solution to the problem
The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:
(1)
In order to calculate the mean and the sample deviation we can use the following formulas:
(2)
(3)
In order to calculate the critical value 
we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

Answer:
There is not sufficient evidence to warrant the rejection of the claim that the mean weight of cereal is atleast 14 oz
Step-by-step explanation:
The hypothesis for the test above will be stated as follows :
The claim to be tested is the alternative hypothesis, which is the negation of the Null hypothesis
H0 : μ < 14
H1 : μ ≥ 14
If the Null is rejected, then it means that the company's claim that the mean weight of its cereal being atleast 14 is valid ;
Then it means there is significant evidence to support the stance that the mean weight of cereal in the company's packet is atleast 14 oz.
*Hint: In order to find the coordinates, you plug in the coordinates into the rule and solve.
(x, y) → (x + 2, y - 8)
(4, -5) → (4 + 2, -5 - 8)
(6, -13)
The coordinates of B' is (6, -13).
