Florida has over 7700 lakes. We wish to estimate the correlation between the pH levels of all Florida lakes and the mercury levels of fish in the lakes. It is found that the correlation between these two variables for a sample of size n=53 of the lakes is -0.575. (a) Give the notation for the quantity we are estimating. (b) Give the notation for the quantity we use to make the estimate. (c) Give the value of the best estimate. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Florida has over 7,700 lakes. We wish to estimate the correlation between Calcium and Alkalinity for all lakes in Florida. The dataset FloridaLakes contains observations on 53 lakes. Use StatKey and the dataset FloridaLakes to give the best estimate for the correlation between Calcium and Alkalinity for all lakes in Florida. Choose the best answer. a.) r = 0.53 b.) r = 0.83 c.) r = 0.72 d.) r = 0.36

The pH of water samples from a specific lake is a random variable Y with a probability density function given by f(y) = 3/8(8 - y)^2, 6 <= y <= 8, and 0 elsewhere. Find E(Y) and V(Y). (Round your answers to four decimal places.) E(Y) = V(Y) =

Ecology Increasing numbers of manatees ("sea sirens") have been killed by boats off the Florida coast. The following graph shows the relationship between the number of boats registered in Florida and the number of manatees killed each year: The regression curve shown is given by $f(x)=3.55 x^{2}-30.2 x+81$ manatees $\quad(4.5 \leq x \leq 8.5)$ where $x$ is the number of boats (in hundreds of thousands) registered in Florida in a particular year, and $f(x)$ is the number of manatees killed by boats in Florida that year. $^{42}$ a. Compute the average rate of change of $f$ over the intervals $[5,6]$ and $[7,8]$ b. What does the answer to part (a) tell you about the manatee deaths per boat?
