Answer:
a) strong negative linear correlation.
b) Weak or no linear correlation.
c) strong positive linear correlation.
Step-by-step explanation:
The correlation coefficient r measures the strength and direction (positive or negative) of two variables. The correlation coefficient r is always between -1 and 1. When the coefficient r is negative then the direction of the correlation is downhill (negative) and when it's positive then it's an uphill correlation (positive). Similarly, as the coefficient is closer to -1 or 1 the correlation is stronger, with zero being a non linear relationship.
Now back to the question:
a) Near -1: as we said before, this means an strong negative (-1) linear correlation.
b) Near 0: weak or no linear correlation (we cannot say if its positive or negative because we don't know it it's near zero from the right (positive numbers) or the left (negative numbers)
c) Near 1: strong positive (close to +1) linear correlation
Answer:
Approx 61.554 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are dealing with the opposite and adjacent sides, we will use tangent as our ratio.
Since the angle of elevation is 72 degrees, the left side of our equation is 
.
The right side of the equation is opposite over adjacent.
Set these equal to each other.
Simplify.
x is approximately 61.554.
Answer: 6.4
Step-by-step explanation: If rounding to one decimal place, your answer would be 6.4.
49.6 divided by 7.8 = 6.35897435...
Now, we see that after the 3 (The first decimal place) there is a five. Because we are rounding to the first decimal place the second decimal place will tell us to round up or down. In this case because it's a five, we would round up.
