The slope-point formula:
We have (3, -5) and (-8, 4).
Substitute:
Answer:
1.12
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
not number 5 is is biased.
Number 6 is not biased.
Number 7 is not biased.
Step-by-step explanation:
Biased means of an estimator is the difference between this estimator's expected value and the true value of the parameter being estimated.
The best fit curve for #1 is D. The easiest way to check these is by pluggin in to the equation and seeing if they come close. By doing just the first ordered pair along, it is apparent that only D will work.
With x = 1 input
A) -36
B) 24.2
C) 17.5
D) 11.58
#2 is also D. We can tell this because multiplying any of these options always results in a middle term between them. For instance, if you multiply out C, you will not only get x^4 and x^4, but you will also get terms such as 4x^2y^2 in the middle.
