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."

What is the rate of change of the function y = − 1/4 x + 1
scoray [572]

Answer:

-1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The rate of change is also known as the slope.

Standard equation of a line: y = mx + b

  • y: output
  • m:  slope
  • x: input
  • b: y-intercept

So, if we match the standard form to the given function:

  • y = mx + b
  • y = -1/4x + 1

-1/4 is m, or the rate of change.

How do you write out exponential growth of <br> 4=314(1.15)^x
NikAS [45]

Answer:

-10.76

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4=314(1.5x)

Step 1: Flip the equation.

314(1.5x)=4

Step 2: Divide both sides by 314.

314(1.5x)/314

=

4/314

1.5x=2/157

Step 3: Solve Exponent.

1.5x=2/157

log(1.5x)=log(2/157)(Take log of both sides)

x*(log(1.5))=log(2/157)

x=

log(2/157)

log(1.5)

x=−10.760725

Answer:

x=−10.760725
