Part A. The group of points labeled A is the dataset which reveals a decreasing linear relationship. Point B could be considered an outlier because it falls outside the normal pattern of data points. A possible reason for the outlier is that there are other factors effecting students test scores that are not being taken into I account like their environment/homelife, parental involvement in education and students responsibilities , time-management. This may reveal an underlying flaw in the hypothesis as any hours spent in extracurricular activities or other time consuming tasks/chores are not considered either.
part B. In the dataset (group A) there is a decreasing linear relationship meaning that as the number of hours spent playing pc games increases, test scores decrease.
I like to start by dividing the given number by 2, unless a larger factor is evident.
1386 = 2(693). It's pretty obvious that we can divide 693 by 3: 693=3(231).
Then we have 1386 = (2)(3)(231). Try the same procedure. Does 231 have any integer, prime factors? See how far you can take this factoring.
Answer:
d = 2.12
Step-by-step explanation:
It will take them 4.24 hours together to paint the area together
Step-by-step explanation:
If Emily takes eight hours to paint the area then she will paint 1/8 of the house in one hour
Similarly, if Mike can paint the same area in 9 hours, then he will paint 1/9 of the same area
Let x be the number of hours in which they will together paint the area.
If x hours are taken by them to paint the area then 1/x of the area will be painted in one hour
So,

It will take them 4.24 hours together to paint the area together
