the larger of two numbers is 12 more than the smaller number.if the sum of the two numbers is 74,find the two numbers

1 answer:

8 0

X = larger number, y = smaller number

x = y + 12
x + y = 74

y + 12 + y = 74
2y + 12 = 74
2y = 74 - 12
2y = 62
y = 62/2
y = 31

x = y + 12
x = 31 + 12
x = 43

so ur 2 numbers are : 43 and 31

stich3 [128]

Answer-

A. strong negative correlation.

Solution-

Direction of a relationship

Positive- If one variable increases, the other tends to also increase. If one decreases, the other tends to also. It is represented by positive numbers(i.e 0 to 1).
Negative- If one variable increases, the other tends to decrease, and vice-versa. It is represented by negative numbers(i.e 0 to -1)

Strength of a relationship

Perfect Relationship- When two variables are linearly related, the correlation coefficient is either 1 or -1. They are said to be perfectly linearly related, either positively or negatively.
No relationship- When two variables have no relationship at all, their correlation is 0.

As in this case, correlation coefficient was found to be -0.91, which is negative and close to -1, so it is a strong negative correlation.
