During the cold winter months, a sheet of ice covers a lake near the arctic circle. At the beginning of spring, the ice starts t
1 answer:
Answer: 1.5 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: At the beginning of spring, the ice starts to melt.
The variable s models the ice sheets thickness in meters t weeks after the beginning of spring.
At t=0, s=4 meters
At t=1, s=3.75 meters
∴It is a linear equation, where the rate of change in thickness = 3.75-4=0.25 meter per minute .
The decrease in ice sheet in every 6 weeks =

Answer:
The second plot.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the picture attached, the scatter plots are shown.
The second plot has minimum residuals and its residuals are randomly distributed. Residual is computed as follows:
residual = measured - predicted
It easy to see that residuals of the first option are greater than the second option.
Line of the second option is better than those from third and fourth options because residuals of the second option are randomly distributed, while in the third option, residuals are mostly negative; and in the fourth option, they are mostly positive.
