Steven wants to know if an equation can model a dog’s weight in terms of its height. So he collects the heights and weights of 20 dogs. Steven then plots the data on this scatter plot. In this activity, you will determine whether the given lines are the line of best fit for the following scatter plot.

Determine whether the following statements are true and give an explanation or counterexample. bold a. when using the shell method, the axis of the cylindrical shells is parallel to the axis of revolution. bold b. if a region is revolved about the y-axis, then the shell method must be used. bold c. if a region is revolved about the x-axis, then in principle it is possible to use the disk/washer method and integrate with respect to x or the shell method and integrate with respect to y.

The random variable x is the number of occurrences of an event over an interval of ten minutes. it can be assumed that the probability of an occurrence is the same in any two-time periods of an equal length. it is known that the mean number of occurrences in ten minutes is 5.3. the appropriate probability distribution for the random variable
