13.| Veterinary Science: Shetland Ponies How much should a healthy Shetland pony weigh? Let x be the age of the pony (in months) and let y be the average weight of the pony (in kilograms). The following information is based on data taken from The Merck Veterinary Manual (a reference used in most veterinary colleges): х 3 12 18 24 60 95 140 170 185 (a) Make a scatter diagram and draw the line you think best fits the data. (b) Would you say the correlation is low, moderate, or strong? positive or negative? (c) Use a calculator to verify that Ex = 63, Ex² = 1089, £y = 650, Ey = 95,350, and Exy = 9930. Compute r. As x increases from 3 to 24 months, does the value of r imply that y should tend to increase or decrease? Explain.
Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance
Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 miles away.
Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.
