Answer:

The condition for r is the following:

$-1 \leq r \leq 1$

And for this case if we analyze the options the only impossible value is given by:

1.0528

Because this value is higher than 1 and not satisfy the general limits for r

Step-by-step explanation:

The correlation coefficient is a measure of dispersion and is a value between -1 and 1, and is defined as:

$r=\frac{n(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2 -(\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2 -(\sum y)^2]}}$

The condition for r is the following:

$-1 \leq r \leq 1$

And for this case if we analyze the options the only impossible value is given by:

1.0528

Because this value is higher than 1 and not satisfy the general limits for r

PLEASE HELP!! Identify the minium value of the function

timama [110]

Because this is a positive parabola, it opens upwards, like a cup, and the vertex dictates what the minimum value of the function is. In order to determine the vertex, I recommend completing the square. Do that by first setting the function equal to 0 and then moving the 9 to the other side by subtraction. So far: $x^2+6x=-9$ . Now, to complete the square, take half the linear term, square it, and add that number to both sides. Our linear term is 6. Half of 6 is 3 and 3 squared is 9. So add 9 to both sides. $x^2+6x+9=-9+9$ . The right side reduces to 0, and the left side simplifies to the perfect square binomial we created while completing this process. $(x+3)^2=0$ . Move the 0 back over and the vertex is clear now. It is (-3, 0). Therefore, 0 is the minimum point on your graph. The first choice above is the one you want.

A class has 6 boys and 15 girls.What is the ratio of boys and girls?

Sidana [21]

So if boys is 6 and girls is 15 it would be 6/15, but that can be simplified to 2/5.

When ever you have percentages, it should be helpful to bear in mind you can express them as multipliers. In this case, it will be helpful.
So, if we let:
a = test score
b = target score
then, using the information given:
a = 1.1b + 1
a = 1.15b - 3
and we get simultaneous equations.
'1.1' and '1.15' are the multipliers that I got using the percentages. Multiplying a value by 1.1 is the equivalent of increasing the value by 10%. If you multiplied it by 0.1 (which is the same as dividing by 10), you would get just 10% of the value.
Back to the simultaneous equations, we can just solve them now:
There are a number of ways to do this but I will use my preferred method:
Rearrange to express in terms of b:
a = 1.1b + 1
then b = (a - 1)/1.1
a = 1.15b - 3
then b = (a + 3)/1.15
Since they are both equal to b, they are of the same value so we can set them equal to each other and solve for a:
(a - 1)/1.1 = (a + 3)/1.15
1.15 * (a - 1) = 1.1 * (a + 3)
1.15a - 1.15 = 1.1a + 3.3
0.05a = 4.45
a = 89
