11. According to the USGS, an agency within the Department of Interior of the United States, the frog population in the U.S. is decreasing at the rate of 3.79% per year. A student created a model, P 5 12,150(0.962)^t, to estimate the population in a pond after t years. The student then created a model that would predict the population after d decades. This model is best represented by

14. Audra is interested in studying the number of students entering kindergarten in the Ahlville Central School District over the next several years. Using data dating back to 2015, she determines that the number of kindergarteners is decreasing at an exponential rate. She creates a formula to model this situation y = a(b)^x, where x is the number of years since 2015 and y is the number of students entering kindergarten. If there were 105 students entering kindergarten in Ahlville in 2015, which statement about Audra’s formula is true?

36. Two classes of students were entered into an experiment to see whether using an interactive whiteboard leads to better grades. It was observed that the mean grade of students in the class with the interactive whiteboard was 0.6 points higher than the class without it. To determine if the observed difference is statistically significant, the classes were rerandomized 5000 times to study these random differences in the mean grades. The output of the simulation is summarized in the histogram below.
