GPA and study time. A survey was conducted on 218 undergraduates from Duke University who took an introductory statistics course

in Spring 2012. Among many other questions, this survey asked them about their GPA and the number of hours they spent studying per week. The scatterplot below displays the relationship between these two variables. a) The explanatory variable is and the response variable is ? b) The relationship between the variables is and . c) Is this experiment or an observational study? A. Experiment B. Observational study d) Can we conclude that studying longer hours leads to higher GPAs? A. No. We cannot conclude that studying longer hours leads to higher GPA since this study is observational. B. Yes, we can conclude that studying longer hours leads to higher GPA since this study is an experiment. C. Yes, we can conclude that studying longer hours leads to higher GPA since this study this is an observational study. D. No. We cannot conclude that studying longer hours leads to higher GPA since this study is an experiment. E. We cannot draw any conclusion because the scatterplot has no distinct form.

Answer: a) The explanatory variable is hours of study per week and the response variable is GPA.

b) The relantioship between the variables seems to be positive.

c) B. Observational Study.

d) A. NO. We cannot conclude that studying loger hours leads to higher GPA since this study is observational.

Step-by-step explanation: a) <u>Explanatory</u> <u>Variable</u> is a type of independent variable, which means it is a variable that doesn't depend on the other variables. However, in explanatory variable, there is a subtle relation between variables. For that reason, Hours of Study per week is an explanatory variable. <u>Response</u> <u>Variable</u> is the dependent variable, it is the result when you change the other variable. For that reason, GPA is the response variable.

b) Observing the graphic, which is in the attachment, it can be observed that students who study more hours per week, tend to have higher GPA. For example, people who studied 60 hours per week have a GPA closer to 4.

c) <u>Observational</u> <u>Studies</u> are those experiment where the researches only observe their object of interest without changing or interfering in the outcome. <u>Experimental</u> <u>Studies</u> are the ones where the researchers introduce an interference and study their effect on the randomized groups.

Since this experiment is based on observation only, the study is an Observational Study.

d) Because it's an observational study, we can't correlate or associate the variables, since the researchers only obtain their results through observation of the behaviour of the students, without changing it.

Last month,Margo bought a tree that grows 2.5cm each day.It was 5cm tall when she bought it and now it 65cm tall. Write a equati
Effectus [21]

Answer:

The equation to determine the number of days Margo has owned the plant is 5+2.5x=65.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Actual length of the tree = 5 cm

Current length of the tree = 65 cm

Per day growth Rate of plant = 2.5 cm

Let number of days she owned the plant be 'x'

Now We can say that,

Current length of the tree is equal to sum of Actual length of the tree and Per day growth Rate of plant multiplied by number of days she owned the plant.

Farming the above sentence in equation form we get;

5+2.5x=65

Hence the equation to determine the number of days Margo has owned the plant is 5+2.5x=65.

Find the measure of arc DF (with an explanation of how to solve please!)
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

mDF = 90°

(Assuming arc mCE is 5x + 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

When we have two chords crossing in a circle, there is a property where the angle in the cross point is equal half the sum of the corresponding arcs.

So in this case, we have:

70° = (mCE + mDF)/2

Assuming mCE is 5x + 10, we have:

70 = (5x + 10 + 11x + 2)/2

70 = (16x + 12)/2

70 = 8x + 6

8x = 64

x = 8

So the arc mDF is:

mDF = 11x + 2 = 11 * 8 + 2 = 90°

Alborosie

Answer:

  • 79 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Balloon - B, stake - S, point at ground - G

<u>Given:</u>

  • BS = 90 ft
  • m∠BSG = 62°
  • BG = x

<u>Use sine and solve for x:</u>

  • BG/BS = sin ∠BSG
  • sin 62° = x / 90
  • x = 90 sin 62 deg
  • x = 79 ft (rounded)
