Answer:

The numerical value of the correlation between number of classes skipped and grade index is 0.60.

Step-by-step explanation:

In statistics R² is a measure that is used to determine the proportion of variation in the dependent variable that can be explained by the independent variable. The value of R² is compute by squaring the correlation coefficient (<em>r</em>) between the dependent and independent variable.

                                                  R^{2}=(r)^{2}

In this case the dependent variable is the grades and the independent variable is the number of classes skipped.

The R² between the grades and the number of classes skipped is 36% or 0.36.

Compute the value of <em>r</em> as follows:

       R^{2}=(r)^{2}\\r=\sqrt{R^{2}}\\ =\sqrt{0.36} \\=\pm0.60

Thus, the correlation between number of classes skipped and grade index is ±0.60.

NASA launches a rocket at t=0 seconds. Its height, in meters above sea-level, as a function of time is given by h(t)=−4.9t2+121t
Alenkasestr [34]

NASA launches a rocket at t = 0 seconds. Its height, in meters above sea-level, as a function of time is given by

h(t)=-4.9t^2+121t+283

The sea level is represented by h = 0, therefore, to find the corresponding time when h splashes into the ocean we have to solve for t the following equation:

h(t)=0\implies-4.9t^2+121t+283=0

Using the quadratic formula, the solution for our problem is

\begin{gathered} t=\frac{-(121)\pm\sqrt{(121)^2-4(-4.9)(283)}}{2(-4.9)} \\ =\frac{121\pm142.083778...}{9.8} \\ =\frac{121+142.083778...}{9.8} \\ =26.8452834694... \end{gathered}

The rocket splashes after 26.845 seconds.

The maximum of this function happens at the root of the derivative. Differentiating our function, we have

h^{\prime}(t)=-9.8t+121

The root is

-9.8t+121=0\implies t=\frac{121}{9.8}=12.347

Then, the maximum height is

h(12.347)=1029.99

1029.99 meters above sea level.

What is the correct classification for ∠QPS?
rewona [7]
∠QPS is part of the right angle, and it takes 90 - 21 degrees of it.
90 - 21 = 69°

Now take 69 and add 22, the rest of ∠QPS.
69 + 22 = 91

∠QPS is 91°, which is larger than a right angle, 90°, so that means it is an obtuse angle.
