Respuesta :

Answer: The predicted difference in sleep is 1251437 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of years of education = 12 years

Number of minutes a week = 2000

As we have

In case of individual A:

7 days = 2000 minutes

1 year = 365 days = [tex]\dfrac{2000}{7}\times 365=104285[/tex]

12 years = [tex]104285\times 12=1251420\ minutes[/tex]

In case of individual B:

7 days = 3000 minutes

1 year = 365 days = [tex]\dfrac{3000}{7}\times 365=156428[/tex]

16 years = [tex]156428\times 16=2502857[/tex] minutes

So, the predicted difference in sleep between individuals A and B is given by

[tex]2502857-1251420\\\\=1251437\ minutes[/tex]

Hence, the predicted difference in sleep is 1251437 minutes.
