<h3>Answer: B. 62 degrees fahrenheit</h3>

====================================================

Explanation:

x = elevation in feet

y = temperature in fahrenheit

The temperature goes up 1/10 = 0.1 degrees for every 100-foot increase of elevation. So the slope is 0.1/100 = 0.001, which tells us how fast the temperature is increasing. In other words, the temperature goes up 0.001 degrees each time the elevation goes up by 1 foot.

The ground temperature is 60 degrees, which is our starting temperature. It's the value of y when x = 0. Therefore, 60 is the y intercept.

We have a slope of m = 0.001 and a y intercept of b = 60. The equation y = mx+b becomes y = 0.1x+60

Now plug in x = 2000 to find the temperature at this elevation

y = 0.001x+60

y = 0.001*2000+60

y = 2+60

y = 62

Answer:

B.62

Step-by-step explanation:

60 + (2000/100)            We find 20 is the answer to the division

60 + (20 * 1/10)           We find 2 is the answer to the multiplication

60 + (2)  

We can then + for elevation or - or depression or decrease.

= 62

= 62 degrees.

Answer:

(0.102, -0.062)

Step-by-step explanation:

sample size in 2018 = n1 = 216

sample size in 2017 = n2 = 200

number of people who went for another degree in 2018 = x1 = 54

number of people who went for another degree in 2017 = x2 = 46

p1 = x1/n1 = 0.25

p2 = x2/n2 = 0.23

At 95% confidence level, z critical = 1.96

now we have to solve for the confidence interval =

<h2> p1 -p2 ± z*\sqrt{((1-p1)*p1)/n1 + ((1-p2)*p2/n2}</h2>

0.25 -0.23 ± 1.96*\sqrt{((1 - 0.25) * 0.25)/216 + ((1 - 0.23) *0.23/200}

= 0.02 ± 1.96 * 0.042

= 0.02 + 0.082 = <u>0.102</u>

= 0.02 - 0.082 = <u>-0.062</u>

<u>There is 95% confidence that there is a difference that lies between  - 0.062 and 0.102 on the proportion of students who continued their education in the years, 2017 and 2018.</u>

<u></u>

<u>There is no significant difference between the two.</u>

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
