The following table shows the annual income, in dollars, and amount spent on vacation, in dollars, for a sample of 8 families.
1 answer:
Answer:
a. Scatterplot is attached.
b. Positive Correlation
c. Correlation coefficient=0.9219
Step-by-step explanation:
a.
The following procedure will be used to obtain the scatter plot
- Open an Google Sheets file online or excel sheet on your computer.
- In column B and C, enter the Income and Vacation data as provided above.
- Select the data > click on insert CHART.
- Chose Scatter Chart option
- Click OK.
A scatter plot visualizing your data should be displayed as attached.
b.
- On your computer, open a spreadsheet in Google Sheets.
- Double-click on your scatter plot.
- At the right, click on Customize tab and then Series.
- Scroll down and check the Trend line box
-From the trend line, your notice that your variables have a positive correlation.
-As the income increases, so does vacation expenditure.
c. The correlation coefficient can be calculated as follows.
- Click on any empty cell in the sheet and enter the formula
- "=CORREL((y-axis range),(x-axis range))"
- ENTER
-From our Google Sheets calculation our variables have a positive correlation and the correlation coefficient is 0.9219
-The correlation coefficient,r can also be calculated manually:
-let x be income, and y be vacation and divide all the values by 100 to make the smaller and easier to manipulate:

The volume as a function of the location of that vertex is
... v(x, y, z) = x·y·z = x·y·(100-x²-y²)
This function is symmetrical in x and y, so will be a maximum when x=y. That is, you wish to maximize the function
... v(x) = x²(100 -2x²) = 2x²(50-x²)
This is a quadratic in x² that has zeros at x²=0 and x²=50. It will have a maximum halfway between those zeros, at x²=25. That maximum volume is
... v(5) = 2·25·(50-25) = 1250
The maximum volume of the box is 1250 cubic units.
