Let us model this problem with a polynomial function.
Let x = day number (1,2,3,4, ...)
Let y = number of creatures colled on day x.
Because we have 5 data points, we shall use a 4th order polynomial of the form
y = a₁x⁴ + a₂x³ + a₃x² + a₄x + a₅
Substitute x=1,2, ..., 5 into y(x) to obtain the matrix equation
| 1 1 1 1 1 | | a₁ | | 42 |
| 2⁴ 2³ 2² 2¹ 2⁰ | | a₂ | | 26 |
| 3⁴ 3³ 3² 3¹ 3⁰ | | a₃ | = | 61 |
| 4⁴ 4³ 4² 4¹ 4⁰ | | a₄ | | 65 |
| 5⁴ 5³ 5² 5¹ 5⁰ | | a₅ | | 56 |
When this matrix equation is solved in the calculator, we obtain
a₁ = 4.1667
a₂ = -55.3333
a₃ = 253.3333
a₄ = -451.1667
a₅ = 291.0000
Test the solution.
y(1) = 42
y(2) = 26
y(3) = 61
y(4) = 65
y(5) = 56
The average for 5 days is (42+26+61+65+56)/5 = 50.
If Kathy collected 53 creatures instead of 56 on day 5, the average becomes
(42+26+61+65+53)/5 = 49.4.
Now predict values for days 5,7,8.
y(6) = 152
y(7) = 571
y(8) = 1631

Answer:
y = 38x
Step-by-step explanation:
The constant of proportionality (k) is the value of y when x=1. The table shows that to be 38. Then the equation is ...
y = kx
y = 38x
Answer:
De Morgan's Theorem, T12, is a particularly powerful tool in digital design. The theorem explains that the complement of the product of all the terms is equal to the sum of the complement of each term. Likewise, the complement of the sum of all the terms is equal to the product of the complement of each term.

Answer: the smallest number of people required for the sample to meet the conditions for performing inference is 100
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that;
36% of US population has never been married
32% are divorced
27% are married
5% are widowed
Taking a simple random sample of individuals to test this claim;
we need expected count in each cell to be at least 5, here the smallest proportion is 5% = 0.05
so we only need to satisfy condition for its expected count;
n × 0.05 ≥ 5
n = 5 / 0.05 = 100
Therefore the smallest number of people required for the sample to meet the conditions for performing inference is 100
