The answer is B: Finland.

Explanation for each option:

a) France: France offers generous parental leave policies, but it is not the country with the highest amount of paid maternity and paternity leave. French mothers can take up to 16 weeks of paid maternity leave, and fathers can take 11 consecutive days of paternity leave.

b) Finland: Finland is known for its extensive parental leave policies. As of recent reforms, Finland offers a total of 14 months of paid parental leave, which can be shared between both parents. This makes it one of the countries with the highest amount of paid maternity and paternity leave.

c) United States: The United States does not mandate paid maternity or paternity leave at the federal level. The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) allows for 12 weeks of unpaid leave, but paid leave is not guaranteed.

d) Korea: South Korea offers substantial parental leave, with mothers entitled to 90 days of paid maternity leave and fathers eligible for up to 10 days of paid paternity leave. However, it is not as extensive as Finland's policy.

Therefore, Finland provides the highest amount of paid maternity and paternity leave among the options listed.

The accompanying scatterplot shows the number of passengers departing from an airport month by month since the start of 1997 to May of 2006. Time is shown as years since 1990, with fractional years used to represent each month. (Thus, June of 1997 is 7.5 -halfway through the 7th year after 1990.) The regression and the residuals plot are also given in the accompanying display. Complete parts a) through g). d) Would you use this model to predict the numbers of passengers in 2010 (YearsSince1990=20)? Explain. A. No, because that would extrapolate too far from the years that were observed. B. Yes, because the year 2010 is close enough to the last observed value to be a safe estimate. C. Yes, because the value of R^2 is large enough to safely predict the number of passengers. D. No, because air traffic is too random to predict for any time period. e) There's a point near the middle of this time span with a large negative residual. Can you explain this outlier? A. The negative residual is September 2001. Air traffic was artificially low following the attacks on 9/11. B. The negative residual is January 1998. The extremely high ticket prices that year caused air traffic to decline. C. The negative residual is July 1999. There is no apparent cause for the decline in air traffic. D. The negative residual is March 2004. A boom in the economy was causing higher than normal air traffic as more people were traveling abroad. f) The data has been updated through 2016 and plotted on a new scatterplot, shown to the right. If the model for the data through 2006 had been used to predict the number of passengers in 2010, how well would it have worked? Why?
