Answer: B - The mean height of all the students of the college.

Explanation:

In statistics, the concept of parameter refers to the value that you want to know about a population to characterize it, for example, mean height, mean age, etc.

In this case, the value that you want to know about the population of the college is the mean height of its students, so the correct option is B.

The following concepts are used in statistics that can be applied to the given example:

- Population (all students of the university).

- Parameter (mean height of university students).

- Sample (the 25 randomly selected students).

- Elements (the heights of the selected students).

- Estimator (average height of randomly selected students).

A set of data points has a line of best fit of y=2.5x-1.5
castortr0y [4]

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1- You must apply the following formula:

R=yo-yp

WhereR is the residual, yo is the observed value y and yp is the predicted value y.

2- You only need to substitute the x=5 into the equation y=2.5x-1.5 and then, you must apply the formula for calculate the residual:

y=2.5(5)-1.5\\ y=11

R=12-11\\ R=1

The answer is: The residual is 1

An object is moving at a speed of 95 kilometers every 7.5 weeks. Express this speed in
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

<h2>5,936.76 feet/day</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to use to get the speed is expressed as speed = Distance/Time

Given parameters

Distance = 94km

Time = 7.5weeks

Since we are to express the answer in feet per day, we will convert the distance to feet and time to days.

For the distance:

Given the conversion

1 km = 3280.84 feet

95km = (95*3280.84)feet

95km = 311,679.8 feet

For the time:

If 1 week = 7 days

7.5weeks = (7.5 * 7)

7.5weeks = 52.5 days

Speed In ft/day =  311,679.8 feet/ 52.5 days

Speed in ft/day = 5,936.76 feet/day

<em>Hence the speed in feet per day is  5,936.76 feet/day</em>

Please answer this as fast as you can In the graphic above, ΔABC ≅ ΔEDC by: HL. AAS. AAA. SSS.
Masja [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangles by definition have 3 sides. If the sides are corresponding then it is beneficial to us if they are the same length as well. If all 3 sides in one triangle are equal in length to the corresponding sides in another triangle, then the triangles are congruent by SSS (side-side-side).  This is the case for us. Side EC is corresponding and congruent to side AC; side CD is corresponding and congruent to side CB; side ED is corresponding and congruent to side AB.
