State whether the data described below are discrete or continuous, and explain why. The exact heights of different elephants. Choose the correct answer below.
A. The data are continuous because the data can take on any value in an interval.
B. The data are discrete because the data can only take on specific values.
C. The data are continuous because the data can only take on specific values.
D. The data are discrete because the data can take on any value in an interval.

Given are five observations for two variables, x and y. xi 1 2 3 4 5 yi 3 7 5 11 14 which of the following is a scatter diagrams accurately represents the data? what does the scatter diagram developed in part (a) indicate about the relationship between the two variables? try to approximate the relationship betwen x and y by drawing a straight line through the data. which of the following is a scatter diagrams accurately represents the data? develop the estimated regression equation by computing the values of b 0 and b 1 using equations (14.6) and (14.7) (to 1 decimal). = + x use the estimated regression equation to predict the value of y when x = 4 (to 1 decimal). =
