First, let's convert the mixed number 1 1/2 to the improper fraction 3/2. We're given that it takes 3/2 days to install 3/5 of a fence. We're looking for how long it takes to install one whole fence - or 5/5 of a fence. To determine that, let's first find out how long it takes to install <em>1/5 of a fence</em>, and then multiply that quantity by 5 to obtain our answer.

If it takes 3/2 days (3 half-days) to install 3/5 of a fence (3 fifths of a fence), then it makes sense that it would take <em>1/2 </em><em>day</em> (<em>1 </em>half-day) to install <em>1/5</em> of a fence (<em>1 </em>fifth of a fence).

If it takes 1/2 day to install 1/5 of a fence, then it should take 5 times that amount of time to install all 5/5 of it, or 5 * (1/2) = 5/2 days, or 2 1/2 days as a mixed number.

A health research institute collects information from 20 individuals on the number of years they have spent smoking cigarettes,

olga55 [171]

The correlation coefficient of the health research institute data measures the relationship between the age and the years of the smokers

The correlation coefficient is 0.53

<h3>How to calculate the correlation coefficient</h3>

The correlation coefficient (r) is calculated as:

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

Using the given parameters, we have:

$r = \frac{20 *8249 - 1257* 116}{\sqrt{[20 * 98823 - 1257^2][20 * 836 - 116^2}}$

Evaluate the exponents

$r = \frac{20 *8249 - 1257* 116}{\sqrt{[20 * 98823 - 1580049][20 * 836 - 13456}}$

Evaluate the products

$r = \frac{164980 - 145812}{\sqrt{[1976460 - 1580049][16720 - 13456}}$

Evaluate the differences

$r = \frac{19168}{\sqrt{[396411*3264}}$

Evaluate the product

$r = \frac{19168}{\sqrt{1293885504}}$

Evaluate the root

$r = \frac{19168}{35970.6}$

Evaluate the quotient

$r = 0.53$

Hence, the correlation coefficient is 0.53

How many solutions does the equation 3x − 7 = 4 + 6 + 4x have? Two Zero Infinitely many One

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

one solution

Step-by-step explanation:

3x − 7 = 4 + 6 + 4x

Combine like terms

3x-7=4x+10

Subtract 3x from each side

-7=x+10

Subtract 10 from each side

-17 =x

There is one solution

Find the distance between each pair of numbers on the number line; then find the coordinate of their midpoint.

quester [9]

Answer:

d = 1 7/24 or 31/24; midpoint would be half of that,or 31/48

Step-by-step explanation:

Since distance is absolute value, add 2/3 and 5/8 to get the entire distance. Midpoint is that distance divided by 2.
