Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to select the scatter plot with strong positive correlation.

<h3>Correlation</h3>

Correlation is a measure of how well one variable's values track the values of another variable. Perfectly correlated variables will have a scatter plot that is a straight line. The sign of the correlation (positive, negative) matches the sign of the slope of the line.

The less correlated values are, the more their scatter plot looks like a random placement of points. When there is no correlation at all, knowing the value of one of the variables gives no clue about the value of the other one.

Computed values of correlation range from -1 to +1.

<h3>Strong positive correlation</h3>

When the plot begins to resemble a line with positive slope, the variables plotted in the scatter plot have strong positive correlation. That is shown in the attached scatter plot.

2. Draw the image of ∆RST under the dilation with scale factor ⅓ and center of dilation at the origin. Label the image ∆R’S’T’.

Alchen [17]

Since center of dilation is the origin, this is easy. Just divide all of the x and y coordinate values by 3. Place the new point on the graph, and draw the triangle.

R' = R(3,6)/3 = (3/3,6/3)=(1,2). So R'(1,2)
S' = S(-3,6)/3 = (-3/3,6/3)=(-1,2). So S'(-1,2)
T' = T(-6,-6)/3 = (-6/3,-6/3)=(-2,-2). So T'(-2,-2)

So you now know the location of the 3 new points. R' at (1,2), S' at (-1,2) and T' at (-2,-2). Simply draw those 3 points on your graph and connect the lines to make a new triangle.

18 points - Qu. If 16 whole numbers factor into 120. You will see how 32 whole numbers factor into 1200 what does the same princ

alexandr402 [8]

Explanation:

<em>Your premise and conclusion are both incorrect</em>.

120 has the prime factorization ...

120 = 2³ × 3 × 5

The exponents of the prime factors are {3, 1, 1}. The number of divisors of 120 is the product of the increments of these numbers: (3+1)(1+1)(1+1) = 4·2·2 = 16.

120 has 16 natural-number divisors

1200 has the same prime factor and two more: 2·5, so the factorization is ...

1200 = 2⁴ × 3 × 5²

These exponents are {4, 1, 2} and the product of their increments is 5·2·3 = 30.

1200 has 30 natural-number divisors.

When a number is multiplied by 2, its number of natural-number divisors will be (n+1)/n times the previous number of divisors, where n is the increment of the exponent of 2 that is a factor of the original number.

For 120, 2^3 is the power of 2 that is a factor. So, multiplying the number by 2 multiplies the number of divisors by (4+1)/4 = 5/4.

240 will have 20 divisors versus the 16 that 120 has.

Likewise, multiplying this number (240) by 5 will multiply its number of divisors by (2+1)/(1+1) = 3/2, where 1 is the power of 5 that is a factor of 240.

1200 will have 20(3/2) = 30 divisors, versus the 20 that 240 has, or the 16 that 120 has.

<em>Summary</em>

The number of divisors of an integer is the product of the increments of the exponents of its prime factors.

<em>For reference</em>

Here are the divisors of 120:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, 30, 40, 60, 120

Here are the divisors of 240:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 40, 48, 60, 80, 120, 240

Here are the divisors of 1200:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 25, 30, 40, 48, 50, 60, 75, 80, 100, 120, 150, 200, 240, 300, 400, 600, 1200

Please help me it is an easy question

Ugo [173]

Answer:

200 yd²

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 17 yd

B = 15 yd

C = 2 yd

D = 8 yd

b) Area of rectangle = length * width

$\sf Area \ of \ 2 \ triangle = 2* \dfrac{1}{2}* base * height = base* height\\\\$

Area of right triangular prism = Areas of two triangle + area of the upper rectangle + area of middle rectangle + area of below rectangle

= 8 * 15 + 17 * 2 + 15 *2 + 8*2

= 120 + 34 + 30 + 16

= 200 yd²

each time kim pour water from a jug into a glass, exactly 10% of the water remaining in the jug is used. What is the minimum num

Gnoma [55]

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

At least 7 times.

Explanation:

Since 10% of the water in the jug is removed each time, this means that 100-10=90% of the water remains.

After two times, we would have 0.9(0.9) = 0.81 = 81% of the water; each time she pours, the number of times 0.9 is multiplied by itself changes. This makes this an exponential inequality (it is not an equation, as we want "less than half of the water"):

$0.5 < 0.9^x$
