How sensitive to changes in water temperature are coral reefs? To find out, scientists examined data on sea surface temperatures

and coral growth per year at locations in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. Scientists examined data on mean sea surface temperatures (in degrees Celsius) and mean coral growth (in centimeters per year) over a several‑year period at locations in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. The table shows the data for the Gulf of Mexico.
Sea surface temperature 26.7 26.6 26.6 26.5 26.3 26.1
Growth 0.85 0.85 0.79 0.86 0.89 0.92

-Use software to find the mean and standard deviation of both sea surface temperature and growth and then find the correlation between and . Enter your answers in the answer fields using the specific decimal place precision noted.

-Choose the best explanation that describes in words what the numerical value of the slope tells you.

a) Every increase in coral growth of one centimeter will result in an average of 5.25 fewer degrees Celsius of sea surface temperature per year.

(b) Every increase in coral growth of one centimeter will result in an average of 5.25 more degrees Celsius of sea surface temperature per year.

(c)Every increase in sea surface temperature of one degree Celsius will result in an average of 0.1578 more centimeters of coral growth per year.

(d) Every increase in sea surface temperature of one degree Celsius will result in an average of 0.1578 fewer centimeters of coral growth per year.

The correlation coefficient tells that every increase in sea surface temperature of one degree Celsius will result in an average of 0.1578 fewer centimeters of coral growth per year.

Using technology

The mean= x bar = 26.4667

The mean = y bar= 0.86

The standard deviation= Sx= 0.2251

The standard Deviation Sy=  0.0438

The Correlation Coefficient= r = -0.8111

The slope= b= r* Sy/Sx= -0.15789

The intercept is 5.0389

(d)<u><em> Every increase </em></u>in sea <u><em>surface temperature</em></u> of one degree Celsius will result in an average of <em><u>0.1578 fewer</u></em> centimeters of <em><u>coral growth</u></em> per year.

Here the independent variable is X the sea surface temperature and dependent variable is the Y coral growth.

As the temperature decreases which is along x- axis the growth increases along y axis.

From the given options the option d is the best answer according to the question given.

The same values are calculated using different technology .

For a certain commodity the supply equation is given by S = 2p + 5 At a price of $1, there is a demand for 19 units of the commo
slava [35]

Answer:

The demand equation is: D=-4p+23

Step-by-step explanation:

To get started, we should keep in mind that the market price (p=3) occurs when supply equals demand ,therefore when p=3

S=2(3)+5=11

Thus, when p=3 D=11 and, according to the problem  when p=1 D=19.

We already know two points on the demand curve. Great!

The demand equation is linear, so it has form D=bp+c.

The variable b is the slope of  the demand linear equation . It can be computed through the formula

b=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}.  equation 1

Substituting the two points (3,11) and (1,19) on equation 1.

b=\frac{19-11}{1-3} =\frac{8}{-2}

b=-4

Now we can find the value of  intercept of the demand equation c trough point-slope form y-y1=b(x-x1).

We can use any of the points. Let's take (3,11) and write in point-slope :

y-11=-4(x-3)

y=-4x+11+12

y=-4x+23

Rewrite the linear equation according our variables D and p

D=-4P+23

Finally we found the demand equation !
