7-foot

EXPLANAT

Given:

14 foot tree

8foot shadow

4foot shadow

Let h be the height of a tee that casts a 4 foot long shadow.

Using proportion;

14 foot = 8 ft shadow

h = 4 ft shadow

Cross - multiply

8h = 56

Divide both-side by 8

h = 7 foot.

Hence, the tree is 7-foot.

Find the volume of a cone with diamter 12 and height 8

NeX [460]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

V = 1/3 * pi * r^2 * h

d = 12

r = d/2

r = 12/2

r = 6

V = 1/3 * 3.14 * 6^2 * 8

V = 301.44

A 90 percent confidence interval for the slope of a regression line is determined to be (-0.181, 1.529). Which of the following

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer: a. The correlation coefficient of the data is positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimated slope of sample regression line = $\dfrac{Upper \ limit + lower\ limit}{2}$

Here , confidence interval : (-0.181, 1.529)

Estimated slope of sample regression line = $\dfrac{-0.181+1.529}{2}$

$=\dfrac{1.348}{2}\\\\=0.674\ \ \ \ [\text{ positive}]$

⇒Correlation coefficient(r) must be positive, So a. is true.

But, d. and e. are wrong(0.674 ≠ 0 or 1.348).

We cannot check residuals or its sum from confidence interval of slope of a regression line, so b is wrong.

We cannot say that scatterplot is linear as we cannot determine it from interval, so c. is wrong

So, the correct option : a. The correlation coefficient of the data is positive.
