The weights of children in the Egyptian village of Nahya were recorded. Here are the mean weights of the 170 children in that village: Age(months) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Weight (kg) 4.3 5.1 5.7 6.3 6.8 7.1 7.2 7.2 7.2 7.2 7.5 7.8 a. Make a scatter plot of mean weight against age. b. Is there a positive or negative association between the two variables

Kindly check explanation and attached picture

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

Age(months) : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

Weight (kg) : 4.3 5.1 5.7 6.3 6.8 7.1 7.2 7.2 7.2 7.2 7.5 7.8

a. Make a scatter plot of mean weight against age.

Scatter plot of mean weight against age can be found in the attached picture

b. Is there a positive or negative association between the two variables

There is a positive association between the weight and age variable ; as weight increases as age increases. Also the slope of the best fit line is positive

geometric series converge the common ratio r has magnitude less than one.

which is equivalent to

for the example we need

|2-x| < 1

-1 < 2-x   and 2-x < 1

x < 3 and x > 1

we can write that

answer: 1 < x < 3

1a. common ratio r=250/25=10 > 1     diverges

1b.   r=50/100=1/2 converges

when these converge they converge to

where a is the first term.

answer: 200

1c. r=-1   so it's not the case that |r| < 1.     diverges

2a. x is the common ratio so we converge when |x|< 1

2b.   r=-10x / -2 = 5x.

we converge when

|5x| < 1

|x| < 1/5

2c.   r=3-2x

-1 < 3-2x and 3-2x < 1

-4 < -2x and 2 < 2x

x < 2 and 1 < x

1 < x < 2

2d. [/tex] r=-48x^3/12 = 4x^3[/tex]

|4x^3| < 1

|x^3| < \frac 1 4

|x| < 4^{-1/3}

it's
