Answer:
(a) Y = 129.3x (b) It is an estimate as it may not be a true reflection of a student's height
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) Estimate of the mean height is the sum of the heights of all the students divided by the total number of students.
The question however needs more information for its estimation as 129.3cm is representative and may be the mean height but it was not stated.
However, assuming it is the mean height,
Let the total number of students be x
while Y is the sum of all individual student heights
Mathematically, mean = Y/x
Therefore 129.3 = Y/ x
implying that Y = 129.3x
(b) It is an estimate because computation of the mean gives an average which may not be an exact value. For example, the mean here is 129.3 whereas there will be many heights greater than that and some lesser than that and obviously, there may be no student with height of 129.3 hence it is an estimate.
Formula because that is the answer
Answer: -3, -4, -5 are the integers
Step-by-step explanation: I don't get what you mean in this problem. You said the sum was -12 but then you are asking for the sum again? Do you want the integers? If so they are -3 -4 and -5 and if you want the sum then it is -12
I hope this helps and brainliest would be appreciated
