The correct answer is:  [B]:  "4 " .
______________________________________
Explanation: 
______________________________________
Refer to the table (provided within the actual question).

Note that the "inputs" ; or "x-values" ; are all listed in "chronological order" ; and are all "one (1) unit apart. and range from:  "x = -3"  to "x = 3" .

When "x = 0" ; the "output" ; or "f(x)"  is "1/4" . 
When "x = 1"  ; the "output" ; or "f(x)" is:  "1" .
_________________________________________________
So; the ratio of these two "outputs"  is:  "¼ : 1"  ; or, write as:
  " (¼) / 1 " ;   and note that:  " (¼) / 1 =  (¼) ÷ 1 = ¼.

However; note that: "1/4" ; or  "1:4" is NOT among the [answer choices given].

However, the ratio of the 2 (two) corresponding "outputs"; chronologically,
going from when "x = 1" ; to "x = 0" ;  is:  "1 : ¼" ; or;  write as:  "1 / (¼)" ; 

And note that:  "1 / (¼)"  =  " 1 ÷ (¼) " = 1 * (4/1) = 1 * 4 = "4" .

This corresponds to:  Answer choice: [B]:  "4<span>" .
</span>_________________________________________________
Let us further confirm that this answer is correct:
_________________________________________________
When x = 3;  the "output" is:  "16" .

When x = 2;  the "output" is:  "4" .

The ratio:  "16/4 = ?  4 ? " ;    →  Yes!
_________________________________________________
When x = 2;  the "output" is:  "4" .

When x = 1;   the "output" is:  "1" .

The ratio:  "4/1  = ?  4 ? " ;    →  Yes!
_________________________________________________
When x = 1;  the "output" is:  "1" .

When x = 0; the "output" is:  "(¼)" .

The ratio:  "1 / (¼)  = ?  4 ? " ;  

   →  "1 / (¼)"  =  " 1 ÷ (¼) " = 1 * (4/1) = 1 * 4 = "4" . YES!
________________________________________________
When  x = 0; the "output" is:  "(¼)" .

When  x = -1; the "output" is:  "(¹/₁₆)" .

The ratio:  "(¼) / (¹/₁₆)  = ?  4 " ? ;  
  
   →  "(¼) / (¹/₁₆) = "(¼) ÷ (¹/₁₆) " =  "(¼) * (¹⁶/₁) = (1*16) / (4*1) = 16/4 = "4" .  Yes!
________________________________________________________
When  x = -1; the "output" is:  "(¹/₁₆)" .

When  x = -2; the "output" is:  "(¹/₆₄)" .

The ratio:  "(¹/₁₆) / (¹/₆₄)  = ?  4 " ? ;  
  
   →  "(¹/₁₆) / (¹/₆₄)  = "(¹/₁₆) ÷ (¹/₆₄)" = "(¹/₁₆) * (⁶⁴/₁)" = (1*64) / (16*1) = 64/16 = "4" . Yes!
__________________________________________________________
When  x = -2; the "output" is:  "(¹/₆₄)" .

When  x = -3; the "output" is:  "(¹/₂₅₆)" ,

The ratio:  "(¹/₆₄)/(¹/₂₅₆)  = ?  4 " ? ;  
  
 → "(¹/₆₄) / (¹/₂₅₆)"  ;
 
       =   " (¹/₆₄) ÷ (¹/₂₅₆)" = " (¹/₆₄) * (²⁵⁶/₁) " = (1*256) / (64*1) = 256/164  =  "4 " . Yes!
__________________________________________________________
  → So; as calculated; the ratio is:  "4" ;  which is:
__________________________________________________________
  →  Answer choice:  [B]:  "4" .

You want to estimate the probability that a lightbulb of a famous brand will last more than 6.500 hours. You choose 10,000 bulbs
brilliants [131]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The likelihood function to estimate this probability can be written as:

mat[1000, 9800]p9580(1 - p)420

(b) The value of the maximum likelihood estimate of the probability 0.958(By taking log of expression in (a) above)

(c) when the true probability is 98%, then it implies that 9800 of 10,000 bulbs did last over 6500hours.

Therefore, the likelihood is p(9800) = mat[10000, 9800]p9800(1 - p)200

(d) Method of moments estimate is the estimation of all the parameters of the population sample.

(e) The statement is FALSE because estimates by the method of moments are not necessarily sufficient statistics, because sometimes fail to take into account all relevant information in the sample. As in the above question

Hailey paid $13 for 1 3/7 kg of sliced salami <br><br> What was the cost per kilogram of salami
JulijaS [17]

Translate words into numbers.

13/(1 3/7)

First convert to improper fraction.

13/(10/7)

Then, note that division is the same as multiplying by the divisor's reciprocal.

13x7/10=9.1

answer: $9.10 per kilogram

Here is Laila’s graph from the previous screen.
lidiya [134]

Answer:

y=-1/3x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no need for any specific answers, but here is one that could logically work out. Since the graph is going left/down, it has a negative slope, so -1/3 would be reasonable. The graph doesn't cross the origin and crosses above it, so this equation must have a positive 'b' value. In this case, I chose 8. y=-1/3+8 could represent Laila's graph.
