Suppose that the weight of a type of organism is governed by a power law relationship with its length from snout to tail and the thickness of its central vertebrae W = cLpVq.
One specimen weighed 37 kg with a length of 1.6 m and vertebral thickness 1 cm. A second specimen weighed 45 kg with a length of 1.6 m and vertebral thickness 1.3 cm. A third specimen weighed 56 kg with a length of 3.1 m and vertebral thickness 1.2 cm. Write an equation with the correct coefficient and parameters values.

Environmental conditions can affect the growth of coral. To study this, a researcher examined a species of coral that is found in
the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. At 12 localities, he determined the average annual calcification rate of coral over a
period of several years and the average annual maximum sea surface temperature during the same period. Calcification rate
affects the growth of coral, with higher rates corresponding to greater growth. The table contains data for these 12 localities.

They believe that the number of books that will ultimately be sold for any particular course is related to the number of students registered for the course when the books are ordered. They would like to develop a bestfitting line to predict how many books to order. From past records, the bookstore obtains the number of students registered, X, and the number of books actually sold for a course, Y , for 12 different semesters.A scatterplot of the data along with the best fitting line is presented below. a. The correlation between the two variables is r = .89. Calculate and interpret the value of r2.b. The equation for the best fitting line is Y = 9.30 + 0.673X. Explain and interpret the value of 9.30.c. How many books should the store order for a class of 50 students?

As a result, he noticed some fluctuations in the number of eggs laid by the chickens, which is neither clearly higher nor lower than previous weeks. He decides to find out if there might be a significant change in the number of eggs laid by the chickens. He records his harvest of eggs for 20 days. He finds that the average per day is 290 eggs with a standard deviation of 15. At 5% Level of Significance, what did the poultry raiser concludes?arrow_forward
- Suppose that a patient receives a daily dose of 50mg/L of a certain drug such that 42% of it is eliminated from the body each day. If on a certain Monday, the concentration of the drug measured in their body (shortly after the daily dose) is 55 mg/L, write down the Discrete-Time Dynamical System describing the dynamics of the concentration xt of the drug in the body (in mg/L, t days after that Monday).
