Two numbers have a difference of 4 and a sum of -8. What is their product?

1 answer:

7 0

Assume the two numbers are x and y
the difference = 4 , so x - y = 4
the sum = -8 , so x + y = -8
by solving both equations
2x = -4
x = -2
-2 + y = -8
y = -6
the two numbers are -2 and -6

Mai has a rectangular poster. The poster is 1.6 meters long and 1.2 meters wide.

dangina [55]

Answer:

19,200 cm^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area = 1.2 * 1.6 = 1.92 m^2.

There are 100 cm to 1 meter, so 1 square meter = 100^2 = 10,000 cm^2.

Therefore 1.92 m^2 = 10,000 * 1.92 = 19,200 cm^2.

What is the value of the correlation coefficient r of the data set?

enyata [817]

The correct option will be: C) 0.84

Explanation

Formula for Correlation coefficient :

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

First, for each point(x, y), we need to calculate x², y² and xy .

Then, we will find sum all x, y, x², y² and xy, which gives us Σx, Σy, Σx², ∑y² and Σxy

(Please refer to the attached image for the table )

Here we got, ∑x = 44 , ∑y = 183 , ∑x² = 362 , ∑y² = 6575 and ∑xy = 1480

'n' is the total number of data set, which is 7 here.

So, plugging those values into the above formula..........

$r= \frac{n(\Sigma xy)-(\Sigma x)(\Sigma y)}{\sqrt{[n\Sigma x^2-(\Sigma x)^2][n\Sigma y^2-(\Sigma y)^2]}}\\ \\ r=\frac{7(1480)-(44)(183)}{\sqrt{[7(362)-(44)^2][7(6575)-(183)^2]}}\\ \\ r=\frac{10360-8052}{\sqrt{(598)(12536)}}\\ \\ r=\frac{2308}{\sqrt{7496528}}\\ \\ r=0.84$
