Given:

The ratio of boys to girls is $\dfrac{4}{5}$ .

Number of boys = 24

To find:

The number of girls.

Solution:

We have,

Boys: Girls = 4:5

Let the number of boys be 4x and number of girls be 5x.

$4x=24$

$x=\dfrac{24}{4}$

$x=6$

Now,

Number of girls = $5x$

= $5(6)$

= $30$

Therefore, the number of girls is 30.

Answer:

Option D (Yes. The model is a good fit because the residual plot does not have a random pattern).

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, insert all the data in Microsoft Excel. Make sure that the values of X are in the ascending order. Then, make the scatter plot of the data with the line of best fit from the Insert option. The graph shows that there is a positive relation between x and y. Most of the actual values of y lie very close to the line. A very few observations are a little further from the line of best fit. Therefore, the model is a good fit because the residual plot does not have a random pattern. Option D is the correct answer!!!
