Given:
John had to pay a combined electric and gas bill $150.
The electric portion of the bill was $90.
To find:
The ratio of money spent on electric to that on gas.
Solution:
Let x be the amount of gas bill.
The electric portion of the bill was $90 and John had to pay a combined electric and gas bill $150. So,
The gas portion of the bill was $60.
The ratio of money spent on electric to that on gas is:
Therefore, the ratio of money spent on electric to that on gas is 3:2.
Answer:
The scatter diagram that contains the correlation coefficient closest to r = 1 is the first one shown in the attached images.
Step-by-step explanation:
The correlation coefficient "r" measures how much two variables x and y are related. When the variables are highly related, the value of r is closer to one and the points contained in the scatter diagrams are assimilated more and more to a line. When the value of r is positive the relation is crescent and therefore the slope of the line drawn by the points in the diagram has a positive slope
Therefore, to answer this question, one must search among the attached images for the dispersion diagram in which the points resemble a straight line with a positive slope.
The scatter diagram that meets the requirements mentioned is the first one that appears in the attached images
