So the answer choices are
1. a-b=even
2. a and b are not odd
3. a and b are odd
4. a-b=even
5. a-b=not even
even=not odd
not even=odd so choice 5 is really a-b=odd
basically choice 4 and 1 are the same so we cross one out
so
the problem said that a and b are odd so therefor choice2 is wrong and choice 3 is correct
then both are odd
odd-odd=even because
an even number is represented as 2n where n is an integer
an odd number can be represented as 2n+1 so assume you have 2 odd numbers 2 away from each other so odd and (odd+2)
odd+2-odd=2n+1+2-(2n+1)=2n+1+2-2n-1=2n-2n+1-1+2=2
you are left with odd
using integers
7 and 11
11-7=4
even
so odd-odd=even, it depends on weather you consider 0 odd or even
so the asnwers are:
a and b are odd
a-b is not an even integer
A. Nancy has the greatest spread because her longest training time was 105 and her shortest being 82, making the spread 23, and Peter’s spread is only... Longest: 112 Shortest: 92 making it 20!
b. Nancy. Middle %50 would be Peter’s 110-92 making the spread 18, and Nancy’s spread is 93-90 making the spread making it 12
c. The spreads tell us they are very close to each other, and just Peter has more time but a less spread than Nancy.
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
A scatter diagram has points that show the relationship between two sets of data.
We have the following data,

where <em>x</em> is the average number of employees in a group health insurance plan and <em>y</em> is the average administrative cost as a percentage of claims.
To make a scatter diagram you must, draw a graph with the independent variable on the horizontal axis (<em>in this case x</em>) and the dependent variable on the vertical axis (<em>in this case y</em>). For each pair of data, put a dot or a symbol where the x-axis value intersects the y-axis value.
Linear regression is a way to describe a relationship between two variables through an equation of a straight line, called line of best fit, that most closely models this relationship.
To find the line of best fit for the points, follow these steps:
Step 1: Find
and
as it was done in the below table.
Step 2: Find the sum of every column:

Step 3: Use the following equations to find intercept a and slope b:

Step 4: Assemble the equation of a line
