Andy once heard about a car crash victim who died because he was pinned in the wreckage by a seat belt he could not undo. As a​

result, Andy refuses to wear a seat belt when he rides in a car. How would you explain to Andy the fallacy behind relying on this anecdotal​ evidence?

Answer:

You should not rely on anecdotal evidence because of the very small sample size. Since the sample size is very small, outliers end up having a very big weight.

Step-by-step explanation:

You should not rely on anecdotal evidence because of the very small sample size. Since the sample size is very small, outliers end up having a very big weight.

Here Andy is basing himself on one anecdotal evidence he heard. So a sample size of 1. If he were to base his opinion from a large sample size, it is highly likely that 99% of the people were saved by the seatbelt and 1% got hurt. Since Andy only heard the anecdotal evidence, he may be basing himself on a very unlikely event.

What is the range of y = (x - 5)^2 – 1?
Setler79 [48]

1.  The graph is a parabola.

2. The parabola opens up, because there's no negative number in front of (x-5)^2.

3. The vertext is (5,-1), because of the vertex form.

This means that that -1 will be the least y-value used on the graph and the garph will open up from there.

The range is (-1, infinity) or { y | y > -1 }.
