Select the correct answer. Joseph plots the speed of his car and time on a scatter plot. The equation for the line of best fit on his scatter plot is y = -15x + 60, where x is the time in hours and y is the speed in miles/hour. Which statement describes the situation correctly?
A.
The initial speed is 60 miles/hour, and his speed decreases by 15 miles/hour every hour.
B.
The initial speed is 60 miles/hour, and his speed increases by 15 miles/hour every hour.
C.
The initial speed is 0 miles/hour, and his speed increases by 15 miles/hour every hour.
D.
The initial speed is 5 miles/hour, and his speed increases by 30 miles/hour every hour.

At wind speeds above 1000 centimeters per second (cm/sec), significant sand-moving events begin to occur. wind speeds below 1000 cm/sec deposit sand and wind speeds above 1000 cm/sec move sand to new locations. the cyclic nature of wind and moving sand determines the shape and location of large dunes. at a test site, the prevailing direction of the wind did not change noticeably. however, the velocity did change. fifty-nine wind speed readings gave an average velocity of x = 1075 cm/sec. based on long-term experience, σ can be assumed to be 245 cm/sec. (a) find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean wind speed at this site. (round your answers to the nearest whole number.) lower limit cm/sec upper limit cm/sec
