Brooke found the equation of the line passing through the points (–7, 25) and (–4, 13) in slope-intercept form as follows. Step 1: m = StartFraction 13 minus 25 Over negative 4 minus (negative 7) EndFraction = StartFraction negative 12 Over 3 EndFraction = negative 4. Step 2: y = negative 4 x + b. 25 = negative 4 (negative 7) + b. 25 = 28 + b. 25 minus 28 = 28 + b minus 28. b = negative 3. Step 3: y = negative 3 x minus 4 What was Brooke’s error? She found the incorrect slope in step 1. She mixed up the x- and y-coordinates when she plugged in the point in step 2. She found the incorrect y-intercept in step 2. She mixed up the slope and y-intercept when she wrote the equation in step 3.

Astudent survey asked: "how tall are you (in inches)? " here's the data: 67, 72, 73, 60, 65, 86, 72, 69, 74 give the five number summary. a. median: 73, mean: 70.89, iqr: 5, min: 60, max: 74 b. 60, 66, 72, 73.5, 86 c. 60, 67, 72, 73, 74 d. 0, 60, 70, 89, 74, 100

Sam is picking fruit from a basket that contains many different kinds of fruit. which set of events is independent?

In this problem, we explore the effect on the standard deviation of multiplying each data value in a data set by the same constant. consider the data set 14, 6, 8, 15, 15. (a) use the defining formula, the computation formula, or a calculator to compute s. (round your answer to one decimal place.) s = 4.28 (b) multiply each data value by 3 to obtain the new data set 42, 18, 24, 45, 45. compute s. (round your answer to one decimal place.) s = 12.83 (c) compare the results of parts (a) and (b). in general, how does the standard deviation change if each data value is multiplied by a constant c? multiplying each data value by the same constant c results in the standard deviation remaining the same. multiplying each data value by the same constant c results in the standard deviation being |c| times as large. multiplying each data value by the same constant c results in the standard deviation increasing by c units. multiplying each data value by the same constant c results in the standard deviation being |c| times smaller. (d) you recorded the weekly distances you bicycled in miles and computed the standard deviation to be s = 3.8 miles. your friend wants to know the standard deviation in kilometers. do you need to redo all the calculations? yes no given 1 mile ≠1.6 kilometers, what is the standard deviation in kilometers? (enter your answer to two decimal places.)
