19. You might think that increasing the resources available would elevate the number of plant spe- cies that an area could support, but the evidence suggests otherwise. The data in the accompany- ing table are from the Park Grass Experiment at Rothamsted Experimental Station in the U.K., where grassland field plots have been fertilized annually for the past 150 years (collated by Harpole and Tilman 2007). The number of plant species recorded in 10 plots is given in response to the number of different nutrient types added Plot 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Number of nutrients added 0 0 0 3144 E2 3 Number of plant species 36 36 32 34 33 30 20 23 21 16

In baseball, two statistics, the ERA (Earned Run Average) and the WHIP (Walks and Hits per Inning Pitched), are used to measure the quality of pitchers. For both measures, smaller values indicate higher quality. The following computer output gives the results from predicting ERA by using WHIP in a least-squares regression for the 2017 baseball season. Variable DF Estimate SE T Intercept 1 -5.0 0.26 - 19.3 WHIP 1 6.8 0.14 47.4 Which of the following statements is the best interpretation of the value 6.8 shown in the output? ERA is predicted to increase by 6.8 units for each 1 unit increase of WHIP. WHIP is predicted to increase by 6.8 units for each 1 unit increase of ERA. For a pitcher with 0 units of WHIP, the ERA is predicted to be approximately 6.8 units. For a pitcher with 0 units of ERA, the WHIP is predicted to be approximately 6.8 units. Approximately 6.8% of the variability in ERA is due to its linear relationship with WHIP.

Draw a graph of the least-squares regression line on your scatterplot. (For hand-drawing, round the slope and y-intercept to one decimal place before drawing the line.) Be sure to show how you were able to plot the line starting with its equation.

During an international conference of journalists, 250 journalists from different countries attended the said event. It was noticed that journalists are multilingual - they can speak 2 or more lsngusges. Based on the information given below: 1. 77 journalists can speak French 2. 120 journalists can speak English 3. 102 journalist can speak German 4. 25 can speak both english and french 5. 30 can speak both english and german 6. 22 can speak both french and german   Use venn-diagram to find the answer to the following questions: a. what is the minimum number of journalists that can speak all the three languages? b. some journalists came from south korea and japan and they could only speak their own native language(either japanese or korean), what is the total number of journalists that can speak either korean or japanese?
