Contingency Table
A contingency table can be defined as the visual representation of the relationship between two or more categorical variables that can be evaluated and registered. It is a categorical version of the scatterplot, which is used to investigate the linear re…
Binomial Distribution

Chapter 9.3, Problem 89E
  1. (a) The bar graph shows the average monthly high temperatures in degrees Celsius for Las Vegas. Convert each temperature to the Fahrenheit scale (round to the nearest degree), then draw a similar graph using those temperatures. Discuss how the graphs compare visually. Which one appears to show a greater variation in temperature?
  2. (b) Redraw your graph of Fahrenheit temperatures with a scale on the vertical axis that begins at 50° rather than 0°. How does this affect your perception of the graph?

Given: Circle J 2 What is the value of y? A. 38 C. 68 B. 50 D. 92
please find the answers for the yellows boxes using the information and the picture below
Consider the function f(x) = x²-1. (a) Find the instantaneous rate of change of f(x) at x=1 using the definition of the derivative. Show all your steps clearly. (b) Sketch the graph of f(x) around x = 1. Draw the secant line passing through the points on the graph where x 1 and x-> 1+h (for a small positive value of h, illustrate conceptually). Then, draw the tangent line to the graph at x=1. Explain how the slope of the tangent line relates to the value you found in part (a). (c) In a few sentences, explain what the instantaneous rate of change of f(x) at x = 1 represents in the context of the graph of f(x). How does the rate of change of this function vary at different points?
