Answer:

The true statement about Kendra's sample is:

b) Kendra's samples are precise but not accurate.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Average age of dogs currently alive = 4.8 years

Average ages of dogs in Kendra's sample

Week   Average Age (in years)

1                    3.7

2                   3.8

3                   4.2

4                   4.1

5                  3.9

6                  3.9

7                  4.0

Total         27.6

Mean = 3.9 (27.6/7)

b) Accuracy refers to how close Kendra's sample mean age of dogs is to the average age value as stated in the Modern Dog Magazine.  While the Magazine stated an average age of 4.8 years, Kendra's sample produced a mean of 3.9 years.  On the other hand, precision refers to how close Kendra's sample measurements are to each other.  With a mean of 3.9 years, the sample measurements are very close to each other.  Therefore, we can conclude that "Kendra's samples are precise but not accurate."

A line has a slope of -6 over 7. What is the slope of the line parallel to it? And what is the slope of the line perpendicular t
olga_2 [115]
The slope of the parallel line is -6/7
the slope of the perpendicular line is 7/6
the slope of the line = -6/7
the gradient of two parallel lines are equal
the product of the gradient of two perpendicular lines is -1
: the gradient m1*m2 = -1
m2= -1(-6/7)
m2= 7/6
