Researchers conducted a study to examine the association of clinical factors at birth with sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) (Platt et al., 2000). The researchers randomly sampled the medical records of infants who died of SIDS from a large database. The study found 63 infants who had a premature birth in 323 medical records, which produced a 95% confidence interval of 0.20±0.04 . What can the researchers conclude about this confidence interval?

step-by-step explanation:

the expected value of the random variable : 0, 1 and 2

step-by-step explanation:

shell's the art director at her local community center. she paid $10 and for each child that attends she earns $4.

for each child she ears $4 that is the slope m = 4

she paid $10, that is the initial amount paid. so 10 is the y intercept b

m =4   and b = 10

y intercept is 10 so the point is (0,10)

we start graph from y intercept (0,10)

slope = 4 . we know slope = rise / run

slope = 4   or 4/1   are same

rise = 4   and run = 1

for rise we move 4 units up and for run we move 1 unit to the right

the graph is attached below

x axis is the number of child she attends

y axis is the amount   she earns
