1.now consider the general case of a polynomial with coefficient vector, w, i. e., each successive component of w is for an increasing degree of x. consider the case where there is no error in the xvalues, but observed y values are distributed normally around the values predicted by the model (the mean) with some known variance. assume that the length of wis given, but that its values are not known. show that the mle for wis the value that minimizesthe sum of squared error

Create a graph for the demand for starfish using the following data table: quantity/price of starfish quantity (x axis) of starfish in dozens price (y axis) of starfish per dozen 0 8 2 6 3 5 5 2 7 1 9 0 is the relationship between the price of starfish and the quantity demanded inverse or direct? why? how many dozens of starfish are demanded at a price of five? calculate the slope of the line between the prices of 6 (quantity of 2) and 1 (quantity of 7) per dozen. describe the line when there is a direct relationship between price and quantity.
