A biologist is studying the relationship between the mass of brains found in mammals taken from a forest and the body mass of the mammals. A sample of 14 such mammals was taken. The equation of the least-squares line for the relationship between brain mass and body mass is computed as body mass hat = 561.9 (brain mass) minus 16485. A graph titled Brain Mass versus body mass has brain mass (grams) on the x-axis, and residual on the y-axis. The points decrease, and then increase.

Based on the residual plot, is a linear model appropriate for describing the relationship between brain mass and body mass?

A linear model is not appropriate, because the residuals are not centered about zero.
A linear model is appropriate, because there is a clear pattern shown in the residual plot.
A linear model is not appropriate, because there is a clear pattern shown in the residual plot.
A linear model is appropriate, because many of the residuals are close to zero for all brain weights.

Read the excerpt from the strange case of dr jekyll and mr. hyde what do dr. jekyll's thoughts reveal about him in this excerpt? [t]he inmates of my house were locked in the most rigorous hours of slumber, and i determined, flushed as i was with hope and triumph, to venture in my new shape as far as to my bedroom. i crossed the yard, wherein the constellations looked down upon me, i could have thought, with wonder, the first creature of that sort that their unsleeping vigilance had yet disclosed to he is jealous of those who can sleep through the night. he is revered for his scientific advances. he is interested in studying the movements of the stars he is proud and enthusiastic about his initial results.

(c) compare the results of parts (a) and (b). in general, how do you think the mode, median, and mean are affected when each data value in a set is multiplied by the same constant? multiplying each data value by the same constant c results in the mode, median, and mean increasing by a factor of c. multiplying each data value by the same constant c results in the mode, median, and mean remaining the same. multiplying each data value by the same constant c results in the mode, median, and mean decreasing by a factor of c. there is no distinct pattern when each data value is multiplied by the same constant. (d) suppose you have information about average heights of a random sample of airline passengers. the mode is 65 inches, the median is 72 inches, and the mean is 65 inches. to convert the data into centimeters, multiply each data value by 2.54. what are the values of the mode, median, and mean in centimeters? (enter your answers to two decimal places.) mode cm median cm mean cm in this problem, we explore the effect on the mean, median, and mode of multiplying each data value by the same number. consider the following data set 7, 7, 8, 11, 15. (a) compute the mode, median, and mean. (enter your answers to one (1) decimal places.) mean value = median = mode = (b) multiply 3 to each of the data values. compute the mode, median, and mean. (enter your answers to one (1) decimal places.) mean value = median = mode = --
