We have been provided a diagram which tells us that Patti drew vertical line segments from two points to the line in her scatter plot. The first point she selected was dwarf crocodile. The second point she selected was for an Indian Gharial crocodile.
We can see that dwarf crocodile's bite force is closer to line of best fit than Indian Gharial crocodile. Indian Gharial crocodile seems to be an outlier for our data set.
Therefore, Patti's line have resulted in a predicted bite force that was closer to actual bite force for the dwarf crocodile.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
The sum of first n term of a sequence is
We need to find the sum of the first 5 terms.
Put n = 5,
So, the sum of first 5 terms is equal to 
.
Answer:
The answer is 18
Step-by-step explanation:
If you add 15 to 3 then you get 18
Hope this helps!!! :)
The answer is actually choice A
---------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------
If we add up the equations straight down we will have 0a+2b = 6
Note how adding the 'a' terms gives us 3a + (-3a) = 3a-3a = 0a. The 0a term is really 0 since 0 times anything is 0. So the 'a' terms will go away
The equation 0a+2b = 6 turns into 0+2b = 6 and that simplifies to 2b = 6
To isolate b, we divide both sides by 2
2b = 6
2b/2 = 6/2
b = 3
We can stop here since only one answer choice has b = 3, which is choice A. However, let's keep going to find the value of 'a'
Plug b = 3 into any equation with 'a' and 'b', then solve for 'a'
3a+4b = 9
3a+4*3 = 9
3a+12 = 9
3a+12-12 = 9-12
3a = -3
3a/3 = -3/3
a = -1
So a = -1 and b = 3 pair up to form (a,b) = (-1,3)
--------------------------------------
To check, plug this ordered pair back into both equations
Equation 1:
3a+4b = 9
3*(-1)+4*3 = 9
-3+12 = 9
9 = 9
Equation 1 has been checked out
Equation 2:
-3a-2b = -3
-3(-1)-2(3) = -3
3 - 6 = -3
-3 = -3
this is true as well
So this confirms that the final answer is choice A
