Calculate the correlation coefficient for the given data below:
Rasek [7]

The correlation coefficient of the data provided is -0.52.

<h3>What is the correlation coefficient?</h3>

Correlation is a measure that is used in statistics to determine the linear relationship that exists between two variables. Correlation can be positive, negative or zero.

Positive correlation is when two variables move in the same direction. Negative correlation is when two variables move in opposite directions. Zero correlation is when there is no relationship between the variables.

Correlation can be determined using a financial calculator. When the financial calculator is used, the correlation coefficient is -0.52

Show all steps when completing the square to solve 2x^2 - 4x - 5 = 25
aleksley [76]

Answer:

x = 5, -3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x² - 4x - 5 = 25

add 5 to each side

2x² - 4x = 30

factor out the 2

2(x² - 2x) = 30

divide both sides by 2

x² - 2x = 15

divide b by 2, square it -- (b/2)², and add it to both sides

-2/2 = -1 → -1² = 1

x² - 2x + 1 = 15 + 1

factor the expression on the left -- this will be [x - (b/2)]²

(x - 1)² = 16

find the square root of both sides

x - 1 = ±4

add 1 to both sides

x = 4 + 1

x = -4 + 1

solve

x = 5, -3
