The data below are the gestation periods, in months, of randomly selected animals and their corresponding life spans, in years. Use the regression equation to predict the life span, y, for a gestation period of 6 months, x. Assume the variables x and y have a significant correlation. Gestation, x 8 2.1 1.3 1 11.5 5.3 3.8 24.3 Life span, y 30 12 6 3 25 12 10 40

In the diagram of circle a what is m

Which simplifys to a+ b? a-(1-b)+1 -(1-a)-b+1 (a--1) -1)+1

Each of the following data sets has a mean of x = 10. (i) 8 9 10 11 12 (ii) 7 9 10 11 13 (iii) 7 8 10 12 13 (a) without doing any computations, order the data sets according to increasing value of standard deviations. (i), (iii), (ii) (ii), (i), (iii) (iii), (i), (ii) (iii), (ii), (i) (i), (ii), (iii) (ii), (iii), (i) (b) why do you expect the difference in standard deviations between data sets (i) and (ii) to be greater than the difference in standard deviations between data sets (ii) and (iii)? hint: consider how much the data in the respective sets differ from the mean. the data change between data sets (i) and (ii) increased the squared difference îł(x - x)2 by more than data sets (ii) and (iii). the data change between data sets (ii) and (iii) increased the squared difference îł(x - x)2 by more than data sets (i) and (ii). the data change between data sets (i) and (ii) decreased the squared difference îł(x - x)2 by more than data sets (ii) and (iii). none of the above
