Recall the study about anchoring from Exercise 6.2.16, in which students estimated the population of Milwaukee after some had been told about Chicago and others about Green Bay. a. Describe in words the parameter(s) of interest in the con- text of this study.
b. In the context of the parameter(s) described in part (a), express the null and alternative hypotheses for testing whether the class data give strong evidence in support of the anchoring phenomenon described above. If you use symbols, make sure to define them.
c. Check whether the conditions for the validity of the theory-based t-test to compare two means are satisfied here.
d. Use appropriate technology (an applet or a statistical soft- ware package) to conduct a t-test of significance of the hypotheses that you stated in part (b). Report the test statistic and p-value
e. State your conclusion in the context of the study, being sure to comment on statistical significance.
f. Determine and interpret the 95% confidence interval using a theory-based approach for the parameter(s) of interest in the context of the study.
g. Comment on causation and generalization for this study.

pentagon

step-by-step explanation:

the coordinates   a(5, -2), b(3,-1),c(-4,-4) d(-3,8) and e(-1,4) forms the vertices of the polygon when they are connected in order.

in order to classify that which polygon is it with the given coordinates, first count the number of vertices and then count the number of sides it can make with these vertices.

since, the given coordinates have five vertices, therefore, it will make five sides. moreover, pentagon is regular in nature therefore it will be convex.

now, a polygon with five sides is known as pentagon, therefore, the given polygon is the pentagon.

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18

-9

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of the parallel line would be y = 2x + 9

step-by-step explanation:

to start we need to find the slope of the original line. we can do that by looking at the coefficient of x, which is 2

since the slope of the original line is 2 and parallel lines have the same slope, we know the new line will also have 2 slope. now we can use that along with the point given in point-slope form to get the find equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 2(x + 2)

y - 5 = 2x + 4

y = 2x + 9
