The answer is the second one: It is the most widely abused opiate.

Explanation for each option:

  1. It is a hallucinogen. - Incorrect. Heroin is not a hallucinogen; it is an opioid. Hallucinogens are substances that cause perceptual changes and distortions, such as LSD or psilocybin.
  2. It is the most widely abused opiate. - Correct. Heroin is indeed one of the most widely abused opiates. It is derived from morphine, which is extracted from the opium poppy plant.
  3. It is synthesized from marijuana. - Incorrect. Heroin is synthesized from morphine, not marijuana. Marijuana is a different substance entirely, derived from the cannabis plant.
  4. It stimulates the functioning parts of the brain. - Incorrect. Heroin actually depresses the central nervous system, leading to effects such as pain relief, euphoria, and drowsiness.

Summary: The correct statement about heroin is that it is the most widely abused opiate.

Part 3 of 4 Points: 0 of 1 The table shows the total square footage (in billions) of retailing space at shopping centers and their sales (in billions of dollars) for 10 years. The equation of the regression line is y-hat = 526.670x - 1740.584. Complete parts a and b. Total Square Footage, x: 4.9, 5.1, 5.3, 5.2, 5.5, 5.8, 5.7, 5.9, 5.9, 6.1 Sales, y: 884.8, 938.3, 979.2, 1052.8, 1109.7, 1216.2, 1287.6, 1325.5, 1449.4, 1528.2 0.922 (Round to three decimal places as needed.) How can the coefficient of determination be interpreted? A. The coefficient of determination is the fraction of the variation in sales that is unexplained and is due to other factors or sampling error. The remaining fraction of the variation is explained by the variation in total square footage. B. The coefficient of determination is the fraction of the variation in sales that can be explained by the variation in total square footage. The remaining fraction of the variation is unexplained and is due to other factors or to sampling error. (b) Find the standard error of estimate se and interpret the result (Round the final answer to three decimal places as needed Round all intermediate values to four decimal places as needed.)
