A student is assessing the correlation between the number of hours a plant receives sunlight and the height to which it grows. T

he table below shows the data:
Number of hours of sunlight
(x) 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Height of plant in cm
(y) 4 7 10 13 16 19 22 25 28 31

Part A: Is there any correlation between the number of hours of sunlight that a plant receives and the height to which it grows? Justify your answer. (4 points)

Part B: Write a function which best fits the data. (3 points)

Part C: What does the slope and y-intercept of the plot indicate about the plant

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

Notice that for each increase of 1 in x, there is an increase of 3 in y

There is a correlation between the amount of sunlight and the height of the plant

Part B

The slope in change in y over change in x

m = 3/1 = 3

y= mx+b

y = 3x+b

The y intercept is when x =0  so b = 4

y = 3x+4

Part C

With no sunlight the plant is 4 cm tall.  As the plant gets more sunlight, the plant grows at 3 cm per hour of sunlight.

Step-by-step explanation:

there is a direct correlation between the hours of sunlight and the height of the plant.

a delta of 1 hour sunlight results consistently in a growth of 3 cm. there is not a single point in the set of data that deviates from this.

therefore, the function for the height of the plant based on the number of sunlight received is

y = 3x + 4

as every hour of sunlight (x) results in an additional growth of 3cm. and we are starting with a plant that is already 4 cm tall at the beginning (x=0).

the y-intercept is the first data point (x=0) and shows y=4.

the slope is 3 (or 3/1 as y/x ratio) indicating that with one hour of sunlight the plant grows an additional 3 cm.

and as mentioned, we started with a plant already 4cm tall.

An educator believes that new reading activities for elementary school children will improve reading
Damm [24]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you forgot to attach the scores shown in the back-to-back stem-and-leaf display. So we do not know what the numbers are and we do not have any reference at all

What we can do to help you is to comment on the following general terms.

There have been previous and similar experiments or projects like this in other schools in America. These results suggest that the new activities are better because extra or special reading comprehension programs better prepare students to understand what they are reading and comprehend more than basic ideas of the text.

Students that participate in these programs develop a better sense to understand and like what they are reading, considerably increasing their focus and attention.

These programs have resulted positively when trying to improve the marks of the students, compared to other traditional approaches.

How much fencing will John need? Use 22/7 for x.
Serjik [45]

Well 22/7 is 3.14 and so on but since there is a little more than 3 you need to make sure he covers up all the fencing places... SO John will need 4 fences
