Krystal, a marine biologist, needs to test the water at different points in a lake. She walks 800 feet from her parked car to a sign which says that the lighthouse on the far side of the lake is 2400 feet away. She plans to take her boat across the width of the lake, in order to sample different spots of the water. In order to ensure her boat can reach the other side without running out of fuel, she sets up the corresponding model below. If her boat can travel 5000 feet for each gallon of gas, how much gas will she need to have to travel across the lake and back?

It took a salmon 45 seconds to swim upstream to a certain spot. The salmon then turned around to swim with the current and arrived at its starting place in 17 seconds. If the current in that part of the stream is 0.43 meters per second, what was the speed of the salmon?
Here’s a look at a map of the east side of Dubuque, Iowa. It shows a driving path from a casino on the river to a golf course on the other side. According to the maps app on my phone, the driving distance is 3.0 miles. We’re most interested in the graphic at the bottom left, which indicates that 1 inch on the map (measure if you don’t believe me) corresponds to 2,000 feet in real life. If a 50-foot boat were on the river, how big would it appear on the photo? Round to three decimal places.

Fifty-four wild bears were anesthetized, and then their weights and chest sizes were measured and listed in a data set. Correlation Results Results are shown in the accompanying display. Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that there is a linear correlation between the weights of bears and their chest sizes? When measuring an anesthetized bear, is it easier to measure chest size than weight? If so, does it appear that a measured chest size can be used to predict the weight? Use a significance level of a =0.05. Correlation coeff, r: 0.966175 Critical r: ±0.2680855 P-value (two tailed): 0.000 Determine the null and alternative hypotheses. H1: p (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.) Identify the correlation coefficient, r. (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Identify the critical value(s). (Round to three decimal places as needed.) A. There is one critical value at r= O B. There are two critical values at r= + Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim…
