Based on the line of best fit, the length of this catfish can be predicted to be 38 inches.
<u>Given the following data:</u>
- Weight of catfish, x = 40 pounds.
<h3>What is a line of best fit?</h3>
A line of best fit is also referred to as a trend line and it can be defined as a statistical (analytical) tool that is used in conjunction with a scatter plot, in order to determine whether or not there's any correlation between a data.
From the graph of the data, we have the following linear equation:

Substituting the value of x, we have:

y = 38 inches.

A relatively large correlation coefficient, such as the 0.87 given here, indicates a direct proportion relationship between two variables. Here, as baby gains weight, smart phone pricing increases. Note that this is NOT a causal relationship.
The answer is C, mean =100 and standard deviation=15
This problem is better understood with a given figure. Assuming
that the flight is in a perfect northwest direction such that the angle is 45°,
therefore I believe I have the correct figure to simulate the situation (see
attached).
Now we are asked to find for the value of the hypotenuse
(flight speed) given the angle and the side opposite to the angle. In this
case, we use the sin function:
sin θ = opposite side / hypotenuse
sin 45 = 68 miles per hr / flight
flight = 68 miles per hr / sin 45
<span>flight = 96.17 miles per hr</span>
