Answer: 3. 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the data:
3.12 2.45 4.0 3.76 3.54 2.78 3.39 3.21 1.98 3.43 3.98 2.77
Point estimate of population mean :
Σx / N
(3.12 + 2.45 + 4.0 + 3.76+ 3.54 + 2.78 + 3.39 + 3.21 + 1.98 + 3.43 + 3.98 + 2.77)
= 38.41 / 12
= 3.2008
The standard form:

The slope-intercept form:

m - slope

b - y-intercept (0, b).
We have the point (0, 43) → b= 43.
Next point (2, 55). Substitute to the slope formula:

Therefore we have:
<em>subtract 6x from both sides</em>

Answer: A reasonable estimate of the minimum is 20.
The answer would be False.
