A statistical population is a set of entities from which statistical inferences are to be drawn, often based on a random sample taken from the population. For example, if we are interested in making generalizations about all crows, then the statistical population is the set of all crows that exist now, ever existed, or will exist in the future. Since in this case and many others it is impossible to observe the entire statistical population, due to time constraints, constraints of geographical accessibility, and constraints on the researcher’s resources, a researcher would instead observe a statistical sample from the population in order to attempt to learn something about the population as a whole.

Hello! The y-intercept is (0, 4), because the line crosses 0 in the x-axis at that point. We can cross out C and D, because those don't show that. The slope is rise/run. You would go up 3, and go to the right once. If you need to, solve for slope by doing y2 - y1/ x2 - x1. Let's use the point (0, 4) and (1, 7) as an example. We would set it up like this: 7 - 4 / 1 - 0. Solving that would give us 3/1 or just simply three. The slope is positive 3 and the y-intercept is (0, 4). The answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the solutions (or, in other words, zeroes) of a quadratic function/equation we use the discriminant (the part that's inside the square root of the quadratic formula, $b^2-4ac$ .)
