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.

Use complete sentences to describe how measurements of position in two directions (vertical and horizontal) are sufficient enoug
4vir4ik [10]

Essentially, you can always tell a thing's position by 3 coordinates. We also say that our world is three-dimentional: it has three dimensions -that's why three coordinates are needed. If something is on a flat surface, you know its one coordinate (all points on the same surface have the same coordinate) so you only need two more (you can call them vertical and horizontal)

Step-by-step explanation:

always write what you know

circumference

U = 2 x pi x r

r = d/2

U = 39.25

rearrange and solve for r

U / (2 x pi) = r

solve for diameter

2r = d

The submarine is underwater. It’s position is 645 feet below sea level. It rises in the water 100 feet and then descends 100 fee
kolbaska11 [484]

Hello!

This submarine rose 100 feet (+100) and then descended (-100). Usually in an equation this would cancel out and make 0. Therefore, our answer is 0.

I hope this helps!

Product of 7.69×5 be greater or less than its estimate of 8×5?
spayn [35]

The product is a bit less than the estimate. In fact, 7.69 is less than 8, and if you start with an equality, i.e.

7.69 < 8

you can multiply both sides by a positive number, and the inequality will still hold:

7.69 \cdot 5 < 8 \cdot 5
