Answer:
<u>C. 1 to 7.99</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's recall that for calculating the range of a data set, we have to find out the lowest and the highest values of the data set.
As we can see in the graph below, the lowest value in the histogram is 1 and the highest is 7.99, therefore the correct answer is:
<u>C. 1 to 7.99</u>
Answer:
Point Estimate for different between population means = - 0.99
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given data of two samples and we have to find the best point estimate of the true difference between two population means. Remember that in absence of data about population the best estimator is the sample data. So, we will find the means of both sample data and find the difference of that means. This difference between the means of sample data will be the best point estimate for the true difference between the population means.
Formula to calculate the mean is:
Mean of Sample 1:
Mean of Sample 2:
Therefore the best point estimate for difference between two population means would be = Mean of Sample 1 - Mean of Sample 2
= 128.55 - 129.54
= - 0.99

C) his solution for x is correct, but in order for 6 to be an extraneous solution, one denominator has to result in 0 when 6 is substituted for x.
<u><em>Explanation: </em></u>
<span><u>To solve this rational equation, we cross multiply: </u>
8*(x-4)=2*(x+2).
<u>Using the distributive property, we have </u>
8*x-8*4=2*x+2*2;
8x-32=2x+4.
<u>Subtract 2x from each side: </u>
8x-32-2x=2x+4-2x;
6x-32=4.
<u>Add 32 to each side: </u>
6x-32+32=4+32;
6x=36.
<u>Divide both sides by 6:</u>
