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.

How many 5/16 foot pieces of wood can you cut from a board that is 1 19/16 feet long?​
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

5 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of pieces divide 1 7/8 by 3/8

Change 1 7/8 to an improper fraction

substitute this value into the equation

to solve this complex fraction remove the bottom fraction by multiplying both the top and bottom fractions by the inverse of the bottom fraction.

Multiplying by the inverse results in a product of 1 so the result is

dividing by 1 gives just the top fraction.

Find the surface area of composite figure. Please help
Ivan

Answer:

The surface area of the composite figure is 410\ m^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The surface area of the composite figure is equal to the surface area of the rectangular prism of the bottom plus the lateral area o the rectangular prism of the top

so

Step 1

Find the surface area of the rectangular prism of the bottom

The surface area is equal to

SA=2B+Ph

Find the area of the base B

B=10*10=100\ m^{2}

P=4*10=40\ m

h=3\ m

substitute

SA=2(100)+40(3)=320\ m^{2}

Step 2

Find the lateral area of the rectangular prism of the top

The lateral area is equal to

LA=Ph

P=2*(4+5)=18\ m

h=5\ m

substitute

LA=18(5)=90\ m^{2}

Step 3

Find the surface area of the composite figure

320\ m^{2}+90\ m^{2}=410\ m^{2}
