The standardized residuals are -0.11, 0.75, -0.38, 2.08, and 2.16, respectively.

(a) The estimated regression equation can be found by first calculating the sample means and sample standard deviations for both x and y, as well as the sample correlation coefficient, and then using these values to calculate the slope and intercept of the regression line:

x = (6 + 11 + 15 + 18 + 20)/5 = 14

y = (7 + 7 + 13 + 21 + 30)/5 = 15.6

sx = sqrt(((6-14)^2 + (11-14)^2 + (15-14)^2 + (18-14)^2 + (20-14)^2)/4) = 4.49

sy = sqrt(((7-15.6)^2 + (7-15.6)^2 + (13-15.6)^2 + (21-15.6)^2 + (30-15.6)^2)/4) = 8.25

r = ((6-14)(7-15.6) + (11-14)(7-15.6) + (15-14)(13-15.6) + (18-14)(21-15.6) + (20-14)(30-15.6))/4sxsy

= 0.962

b = r(sy/sx) = 1.71

a = y - b(x) = -9.23

Therefore, the estimated regression equation is y = -9.23 + 1.71x.

(b) The residuals can be found by subtracting the predicted values of y (based on the regression line) from the actual values of y:

The standard deviation of the population is 8.

We have,

The mean of the sampling distribution is the mean of the population, so we have:

[tex]$\bar{x} = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}x_i = \mu$[/tex]

where [tex]$\bar{x}$[/tex] is the sample mean, n is the sample size, [tex]x_1[/tex] are the individual samples, and [tex]$\mu$[/tex] is the population mean.

In this case,

We are given the sample size n = 100 and the sample mean [tex]\bar{x}[/tex]

We also know that the sampling distribution comes from a normally distributed population.

The standard error of the mean.

[tex]$SE = \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$[/tex]

where s is the sample standard deviation.

The standard error of the mean represents the standard deviation of the sampling distribution.

In this case,

We don't have the sample standard deviation s, but we can estimate it using the sample variance:

[tex]$s^2 = \frac{1}{n-1}\sum_{i=1}^{n}(x_i - \bar{x})^2$[/tex]

Substituting the values we have:

[tex]$s^2 = \frac{1}{99}\sum_{i=1}^{100}(x_i - 145)^2 = 64$[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]$s = \sqrt{64} = 8$[/tex]

Substituting this value into the standard error equation:

[tex]$SE = \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{8}{\sqrt{100}} = 0.8$[/tex]

The standard deviation of the population is related to the standard error by the following equation:

[tex]$SE = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$[/tex]

Rearranging this equation, we get:

[tex]$\sigma = SE \times \sqrt{n} = 0.8 \times \sqrt{100} = 8$[/tex]

Therefore,

The standard deviation of the population is 8.

In Mathematics and Geometry, the graph of a quadratic function would always form a parabolic curve because it is a u-shaped. Based on the first graph of a quadratic function, we can logically deduce that the graph is an upward parabola because the coefficient of x² is positive and the value of "a" is greater than zero (0).

Since the leading coefficient (value of a) in the given quadratic function y < x² + 4x is positive 1, we can logically deduce that the parabola would open upward and the solution would be below the line because of the less than inequality symbol.

The mean of this distribution is (a+b)/2 = $500, and the standard deviation is (b-a)/sqrt(12) = $288.68. The probability of winning more than $600 on one spin of the wheel is the area under the uniform distribution curve from $600 to $1000, which is (1000-600)/(1000-0) = 0.4 or 40%.

In a uniform distribution, all possible outcomes have an equal probability of occurring, and the range of values is defined by the minimum value (a) and the maximum value (b). In this case, the range is from $0 to $1000, so a=0 and b=1000.

The mean of a uniform distribution is the average of the minimum and maximum values, which is (a+ b)/2 = $500. The standard deviation of a uniform distribution is calculated using the formula (b-a)/sqrt(12), which gives a value of $288.68 for this distribution.

To find the probability of winning more than $600, we need to calculate the area under the uniform distribution curve from $600 to $1000. Since the total area under the curve is 1, we can calculate the probability by dividing the width of the interval by the total width of the distribution, which is (1000-600)/(1000-0) = 0.4 or 40%.

Therefore, the probability of winning more than $600 on one spin of the wheel is 0.4.

To increase this by 5 percent, we need to multiply $10,000 by 0.05 (5%).

$10,000 x 0.05 = $500

Allison makes $500 (5% of $10,000) per month, so you would add that to the sum of your answer after every previous month.

Now, let's add that.

Feb : $10,000 + 500 = $10,500

Mar : $10,500 + 500 = $11,000

Apr : $11,000 + 500 = $11,500

May : $11,500 + 500 = $12,000

Jun : $12,000 + 500 = $12,500

Jul : $12,500 + 500 = $13,000

Aug : $13,000 + 500 = $13,500

Sep : $13,500 + 500 = $14,000

Oct : $14,000 + 500 = $14,500

Nov : $14,500 + 500 = $15,000

a) Counter-example: x=1

When x=1, 7x^3=7 and x^4=1, which means 7x^3>x^4 is not true for all positive integers.

b) Counter-example: x=-2 and y=-3

When x=-2 and y=-3, x^2=4 and y^2=9, which means x^2<y^2, then x^2>y^2 is not true for all real numbers.

c) Counter-example: n=0

When n=0, n^2=0 and n=0, which means n^2=n. Therefore, the statement "If n is an integer, then n^2≠n" is not true for all integers.

a) The conjecture states that if x is a positive integer, then 7x^3>x^4. To find a counter-example, we need to find a value of x that is a positive integer for which this statement is false. Let's try x=1. Substituting this value in the conjecture, we get 7x^3=7 and x^4=1. Therefore, 7x^3>x^4 becomes 7>1, which is false. Thus, we have found a counter-example, and the conjecture is false.

b) The conjecture states that if x and y are real numbers and x>y, then x^2>y^2. To find a counter-example, we need to find two real numbers x and y such that x>y but x^2<y^2. Let's try x=-2 and y=-3. Substituting these values in the conjecture, we get x^2=4 and y^2=9. Therefore, x^2<y^2 becomes 4<9, which is true. But x^2>y^2 becomes 4>9, which is false. Thus, we have found a counter-example, and the conjecture is false.

c) The conjecture states that if n is an integer, then n^2≠n. To find a counter-example, we need to find an integer n for which n^2=n. Let's try n=0. Substituting this value in the conjecture, we get n^2=0 and n=0. Therefore, n^2=n becomes 0=0, which is true. Thus, we have found a counter-example, and the conjecture is false.

The number is -4. We can solve for it using algebraic equations and multiplication.

The problem states that when we multiply our number by four and add twenty, we get 4. We can represent this relationship using an algebraic equation with the variable x representing our unknown number:

4x + 20 = 4

To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We start by subtracting 20 from both sides of the equation:

4x = -16

Now, we divide both sides by 4:

x = -4

Therefore, our number is -4. We can check this answer by plugging it back into the original equation:

Simplifying the left side of the equation, we get:

-16 + 20 = 4

4 = 4

This confirms that our answer, x = -4, is correct.

a.  The probability that exactly 3 U.S. adults out of 12 favor the use of unmanned drones by police agencies is 0.218.

b. The probability that at least 4 U.S. adults out of 12 favor the use of unmanned drones by police agencies is 0.684.

c. The probability that less than 8 U.S. adults out of 12 favor the use of unmanned drones by police agencies is 0.968.

This problem requires the use of the binomial distribution, where we have:

n = 12 (number of trials, or U.S. adults randomly selected)

p = 0.21 (probability of success, or favoring the use of unmanned drones by police agencies)

(a) To find P(x=3), the probability that exactly 3 U.S. adults out of 12 favor the use of unmanned drones by police agencies, we can use the binomial probability formula:

P(x=3) = (12 choose 3) * 0.21^3 * (1-0.21)^(12-3)

P(x=3) = 0.218

(b) To find P(x≥4), the probability that at least 4 U.S. adults out of 12 favor the use of unmanned drones by police agencies, we can use the complement rule and the binomial cumulative distribution function:

P(x≥4) = 1 - P(x<4)

P(x≥4) = 1 - P(x=0) - P(x=1) - P(x=2) - P(x=3)

P(x≥4) = 1 - (12 choose 0) * 0.21^0 * (1-0.21)^(12-0) - (12 choose 1) * 0.21^1 * (1-0.21)^(12-1) - (12 choose 2) * 0.21^2 * (1-0.21)^(12-2) - P(x=3)

P(x≥4) = 0.684

(c) To find P(x<8), the probability that less than 8 U.S. adults out of 12 favor the use of unmanned drones by police agencies, we can use the binomial cumulative distribution function:

P(x<8) = P(x≤7)

P(x<8) = P(x=0) + P(x=1) + P(x=2) + ... + P(x=7)

P(x<8) = (12 choose 0) * 0.21^0 * (1-0.21)^(12-0) + (12 choose 1) * 0.21^1 * (1-0.21)^(12-1) + (12 choose 2) * 0.21^2 * (1-0.21)^(12-2) + ... + (12 choose 7) * 0.21^7 * (1-0.21)^(12-7)

P(x<8) = 0.968

So the probability that less than 8 U.S. adults out of 12 favor the use of unmanned drones by police agencies is 0.968.

We can say with 95% confidence that the true population mean of the growing season is between 176.3 and 212.9 days.

We can use a t-distribution since the population standard deviation is unknown and the sample size is small (n < 30).

The formula for a confidence interval with a t-distribution is:

CI = x ± tα/2 * (s/√n)

Where:

x = sample mean

s = sample standard deviation

n = sample size

tα/2 = t-value with degrees of freedom (df = n-1) and α/2 level of significance

Using the given information, we have:

x = 194.6

s = 55.6

n = 32

df = n-1 = 31

α/2 = 0.05/2 = 0.025 (since it's a 95% confidence interval)

We can find the t-value using a t-distribution table or a calculator. For df = 31 and α/2 = 0.025, we get:

tα/2 = 2.0395

Substituting the values into the formula, we get:

CI = 194.6 ± 2.0395 * (55.6/√32)

CI = (176.3, 212.9)

Therefore, we can say with 95% confidence that the true population mean of the growing season is between 176.3 and 212.9 days.

The max-flow min-cut theorem helps to demonstrate that the maximum number of independent 1's in the matrix H equals the minimum number of lines in a cover.

To show that the maximum number of independent 1's in a 0-1 matrix H with $n_{1}$ rows and $n_{2}$ columns equals the minimum number of lines in a cover, we can use the max-flow min-cut theorem on an appropriately defined network.

First, create a bipartite graph G, where one set of vertices represents the rows and the other set represents the columns of the matrix H. Connect an edge between a row vertex and a column vertex if there is a 1 in the corresponding entry of the matrix H.

Next, add a source vertex s connected to all row vertices and a sink vertex t connected to all column vertices. Assign capacities of 1 to all edges in the network.

Now, apply the max-flow min-cut theorem on this network. The maximum flow in the network represents the maximum number of independent 1's in the matrix H. The minimum cut corresponds to the minimum number of lines in a cover of H, as it separates the source and sink while minimizing the number of crossing edges.

Hence, the max-flow min-cut theorem helps to demonstrate that the maximum number of independent 1's in the matrix H equals the minimum number of lines in a cover.

Here, we can say with 95% confidence that the annual profit for the new restaurant in Kamloops with the given characteristics will fall between $1,065,200 and $1,264,800.

Based on the given characteristics of the new restaurant in Kamloops, we can estimate the annual profit by subtracting the total costs from the total revenue generated by the restaurant.
Total revenue = 15,000 covers x $100 per cover = $1,500,000
Total costs = $150k food cost + $85k overhead costs + $100k lab = $335,000
Annual profit = Total revenue - Total costs = $1,500,000 - $335,000 = $1,165,000
To compute the 95% prediction interval for annual profit, we need to consider the variability in the data and assume that the annual profit follows a normal distribution. Assuming a standard deviation of $50,000, the 95% prediction interval can be calculated as follows:  95% prediction interval = $1,165,000 +/- (1.96 x $50,000) = $1,065,200 to $1,264,800
Therefore, we can say with 95% confidence that the annual profit for the new restaurant in Kamloops with the given characteristics will fall between $1,065,200 and $1,264,800.
