Given Solution: `aThe three points are (10, 80), (40, 40) and (90, 20). From the first point to the second the rise is from 80 to 40, or -40, and the run is from 10 to 40, or 30. So the slope is -40 / 30 = -1.33. From the second point to the third the rise is from 40 to 20, or -20, and the run is from 40 to 90, or 50, so the slope is -20 / 50 = -.4.

Look at your results for the slopes, and look the results for the average rates of change. What do you notice? In what way then does the graph represent the average rate of change? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: as time increases depth of water decreases, The more time has past, the more gentle the slope becomes Im not sure how to properly explain it, but I imagine true data as a scatter plot, and when we draw a straight line, its like finding the average, and if you move around a graph, your making a change, therefore it is the average change when you do a straight line between two points. confidence rating #$&*:2 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: `aThe slopes and the rates of change are numerically equal. For example between the second and third points the rise of -20 represents the -20 cm change in depth and the run of 50 represents the 50 seconds required to make this change, so the slope represents the -20 cm / (50 sec) average rate of change over the second time interval. We therefore see that slope represents average rate of change. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ???I didnt view them as two separate things, should I see them as separate, or they always the same?
.............................................
Given Solution: `aThe straight line segments would indicate a constant rate of change of depth. It is fairly clear that as depth decreases, the rate of change of depth will decrease, so that the rate of change of depth will not be constant. The graph will therefore never be straight, but will be a curve which is decreasing at a decreasing rate. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary):OK ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating:OK ********************************************* Question: `q004. From the given information, do you think you can accurately infer the detailed behavior of the water depth over the 80-second period? Do you think you can infer the detailed behavior better than you could the values of the stocks? Why or why not? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: as long as it keeps decreasing, and no one is adding, etc it should decrease at a decreasing rate. I should be able to detail almost exactly what happened., Knowing how this would react in the real world. I believe this is a ""law"" that will always happen, therefore detailed behavior could be better determined than stocks, that are man made and can do what they want, they have no true ""law"" they must always follow. confidence rating #$&*:2 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: `aIt will turn out that three data points will be sufficient to infer the detailed behavior, provided the data are accurate. However you might or might not be aware of that at this point, so you could draw either conclusion. However it should be clear that the behavior of the water depth is much more predictable than the behavior of the stock market. We don't know on a given day whether the market will go up or down, but we do know that if we shoot a hole in the bottom of a full bucket the water level will decrease, and we expect that identical holes in identical buckets should result in the same depth vs. clock time behavior. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary):OK ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating:OK "
