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.
