<span>C would be correct. Statistics and measures taken from raw data help the researcher understand whether or not they have a hypothesis that has held up under testing. Continual support for the hypothesis (and others of the like) can move the concept closer to the category of "theory" or "law," the gold standard in science research.</span>
N is greater than or equal to 5. (n <u>></u> 5)
1) The graph consists of three horizontal segments, with discontinuities (jumps) at x = 1, x = 2, and x = 3.
A horizontal segment at y = - 2 for the values x = 0 to 1.
A horizontal segment at y = - 1 for values x = 1 to 2
A horizontal segment at y = 0 for values x - 2 to 3.
2) To know whether the end points of a segment are defined by the left or the right values you have to look for the circle at the extreme of the segment: if it is a solid dot, means that the end is included, if is is an open circle (white inside) then the end is not included in that segment.
3) That function is based on the function named integer part because if relates y with the integer part of x.
The integer value function is [x] and it makes correspond y values witht he integer values of x.:
y = 0 witht the integer value of x for x between 0 and 1, excluding 1.
y = 1 with the integer value of x between 1 and 2 (excluding 2)
y = 2 with the integer value of x between 2 and 3 (excluding 3)
y = 3 with the integer value of x between 3 and 4 (excluding 4)
But our function is two units below, so it is [x] - 2
42 and 17 millionsth.....
complette the square to get vertex form or y=a(x-h)^2+k
(h,k) is vertex
1. group x terms, so for y=ax^2+bx+c, do y=(ax^2+bx)+c

2, factor out the leading coefinet (constant in front of the x^2 term), basicallly factor out a

3. take 1/2 of the linear coefient (number in
front of the x), and square it ,then add negative and positive of it
inside parnthases

4. complete the squre and expand

so
y=-1/4x^2+4x-19
group
y=(-1/4x^2+4x)-19
undistribute -1/4
y=-1/4(x^2-16x)-19
take 1/2 of -16 and squer it to get 64 then add neg and pos inside
y=-1/4(x^2-16x+64-64)-19
factorperfect square
y=-1/4((x-8)^2-64)-19
expand
y=-1/4(x-8)^2+16-19
y=-1/4(x-8)^2-3
vertex is (8,-3)
