set is -0.015. How confident can you be that your predicted value will be reasonably close to the actual value?

As, given correlation coefficient for your data set is= -0.015

It means there is weak relation between two variables.If value of correlation coefficient is near to 1 or -1, it shows there is strong correlation.

Negative correlation means, if one quantity is increasing other is decreasing.So, the value of -0.015 shows that there is very less correlation between x and y values or two values in data set.

So, the chances are very less that predicted value will be reasonably close to the actual value as the points will be far from line of best fit.

<span>The correlation can range from -1 to 1, with 0 being no correlation at all. so in this case, -.015 is very close to 0, you would be not confident at all. This means your prediction is no better than a random guess. </span>

A light bulb consumes
Dmitry [639]
We know that 5 days and 12 hours is as much as 5.5 days, so all we need to do is to multiply 1800 watt-hours by 5.5 days:

1800 * 5.5 = 9900

Answer: <u>A light bulb consumes 9900 watt-hours each 5 days and 12 hours</u>.

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is v= 3.14r^2h. A cylinder has a volume of 300x feet ^3 and a radius of 5 feet
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Height = 3.82

Step-by-step explanation:

(3.14)(5)²

(3.14)(25)

= 78.5

300 = 78.5h

300/78.5 = 78.5h/78.5

h = 3.821656051 or approximately 3.82

If you use the first answer, the equation becomes 2x + 2y = 16.  You could subtract this from equation Q to eliminate x.

The second answer makes equation P -2x - 2y = -16.  You could add this to equation Q to eliminate x.  You can use both of these methods to eliminate the x term, but if you can only choose one, you should choose the second option.
