The extreme temperatures for each continent for a given year are listed in the data table. Using a cubic model, a location with a maximum temperature of 95 degrees Fahrenheit is predicted to have a minimum temperature of 86 degrees. How reliable is this prediction? Give at least two reasons to defend your answer.

A researcher studies water clarity at the same location in a lake on the same dates during the course of a year and repeats the measurements on the same dates 5 years later. The researcher immerses a weighted disk painted black and white and measures the depth (in inches) at which it is no longer visible. The collected data is given in the table below. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. Observation 1 2 3 4 5 6 1/25 3/19 5/30 7/3 9/13 11/7 41.6 72.7 72.4 65.9 64.2 68.6 49.3 72.1 76.6 69.4 69.8 70.5 Date Initial Depth, X¡ Depth Five Years Later, Y; What is your conclusion regarding Ho? A. Do not reject Ho. There is not sufficient evidence at the α = 0.05 level of significance to conclude that the clarity of the lake is improving. B. Do not reject Ho. There is sufficient evidence at the x = 0.05 level of significance to conclude that the clarity of the lake is improving. C. Reject Ho. There is sufficient evidence at the x = 0.05 level of significance to conclude that the clarity of the…
