Answer:

50.2in or 4.2ft

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a problem about proportions so I generally set up my problems like below. I just set some variable here to make it easier to refer back to the measurements for each. You don't have to do this, I am just showing it for clarity. I will convert everything to inches too. We need to find the real window height.

Mb = model building = 18in

Mw= model window = \frac{1}{9}in

Rb = real building = 678ft = 8136in

Rw = real window = ?

\frac{Mw}{Mb} = \frac{Rw}{Rb}

\frac{1/9}{18} = \frac{Rw}{8136}

\frac{1}{9*18} = \frac{Rw}{8136}  

\frac{1}{162} = \frac{Rw}{8136}

\frac{1*8136}{162}= \frac{8136*Rw}{8136}

\frac{8136}{162} = Rw

\frac{452}{9} = Rw

Rw ≈ 50.2in ≈ 4.2ft

Some students were surveyed about how much time they spent playing video games last week and their overal test average.
sashaice [31]
A) The attachment shows the equation of the best-fit line. It is approximately
.. test average = 89.7 -2.93*(hours playing games)

b) The slope indicates the expected drop in test score for each hour spent playing games

c) The y-intercept is the expected test score if no hours are spent playing games.

d) The correlation coefficient is -0.92, a significant negative correlation. One might expect that hours spent playing games indicates a lack of interest in school subjects or studying, hence a likelihood that test scores will be lower.

e) The equation predicts a test score of about 75 for someone who spends 5 hours a week playing video games.
