For a specific species of fish in a pond, a wildlife biologist wants to build a regression equation to predict the weight of a f

ish based on its length. The biologist collects a random sample of this species of fish and finds that the lengths vary from 0.75 to 1.35 inches. The biologist uses the data from the sample to create a single linear regression model. Would it be appropriate to use this model to predict the weight of a fish of this species that is 3 inches long

Answer: First of all, we will add the options.

A. Yes, because 3 inches falls above the maximum value of lengths in the sample.

B. Yes, because the regression equation is based on a random sample.

C. Yes, because the association between length and weight is positive.

D. No, because 3 inches falls above the maximum value of lengths in the sample.

E. No, because there may not be any 3-inch fish of this species in the pond.

The correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation: It would not be appropriate to use the model to predict the weight of species that is 3 inches long because 3 inches falls above the maximum value of lengths in the sample.

As we can see from the question, the model only accounts for species that are within the range of 0.75 to 1.35 inches in length, and species smaller or larger than that length have not been taken into consideration. Therefore the model can not be used to predict the weights of fishes not with the range accounted for.

Alex

Answer:

Total chairs = 18×22= 396

so no. of extra chairs need = 468-396 = 72

Now( 72/18) rows = 4 rows

Therefore 4 more rows are needed here

Hope it helps you

Find the value of x. Then find the measure of each interior angle. Show work algebraically
OleMash [197]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

W=180-144

W=36 degrees

The sum of angles in a triangle always sum to 180 degrees.

6x+1+7x+36=180

13x+37=180

13x=143

x=11

U=6x+1

U=6(11)+1=67 degrees

V=7x

V=7(11)=77 degrees so

x=11 degrees, U=67 degrees, V=77 degrees, and W=36 degrees.
