Malachi is a pretty good football player. during the first seven games of the season he scored between three and eighteen touchdowns. fans are now confident that he will score at least ten touchdowns in the next game. what is a problem with this conclusion?

so in the first 7 games, eh scored between 3 and 18 touchdowns.

if you assume there is a even distribution, you will get a media of (18 -3) /2 + 3 = 10.5

so yes, in theory he will score 10.5 more or less.

the first error is assuming that he will score at least 10.5 on watching this result, 10.5 is the most probable number, not the minimum.

the second problem here, is that you are doing statistics with just 7 samples, that is not enough samples to do proper statistics.

options a,b,c are the right answer.

step-by-step explanation:

a linear parent function is always represented as y = x

if we write this function in the form of y=mx+c

⇒

or  

now if we plot a graph we will find these characteristics:

1) y intercept of the graph is zero so its a straight line passing through origin.

2) as we can see in both the forms of function written, values of x and y may be either positive or negative for the positive slope means points on the graph are either in first quadrant or in third one.

3) it's slope is one.

a) 7x=7
