If so, and assuming the trend continues, in what year will the number of unemployed reach 5 people?arrow_forwardjust part E thank you!arrow_forwardBaseball statisticians sometimes employ transformations of statistics to allow comparisons of performances between eras. For instance, to project home run totals during the "dead ball era" (the era from about 1900 to 1919) to those of today, statisticians might use the transformation y = 2x+15.5, where y is a modern home run total and x is a home run total from the dead ball era. Suppose that the mean home run total among top players during one season in the dead ball era was 3.5, with a standard deviation of 1.7. 1. If these dead ball era home run totals were projected to modern home run totals, what would their || mean be? Do not round your response. 2.

The bar graph shows the percentage of Americans trusting in the government and the media for five selected years. Use this information to answer parts a-c. a. Use the information in the graph to estimate the yearly loss in the percentage of people trusting in government. The yearly loss in the percentage of people trusting in government is 36 %.
