Eighteen technicians in a cell phone repair shop are randomly selected to participate in a study comparing two screen repair techniques. They are randomly assigned one of the two techniques. The manager trains 9 technicians on one technique and trains the other 9 technicians on the second technique. He then records the number of screen repairs each technician does in one week. Which inferential statistical test would be most appropriate for this scenario?

a. A one-sample z-test
b. A paired t-test
c. A chi-square goodness-of-fit test
d. A one-sample t-test
e. A two-sample t-test

The table below represents the displacement of a fish from its reef as a function of time: time (hours) x displacement from reef (feet) y 0 4 1 64 2 124 3 184 4 244 part a: what is the y-intercept of the function, and what does this tell you about the fish? (4 points) part b: calculate the average rate of change of the function represented by the table between x = 1 to x = 3 hours, and tell what the average rate represents. (4 points) part c: what would be the domain of the function if the fish continued to swim at this rate until it traveled 724 feet from the reef? (2 points)
