A coach is assessing the correlation between the number of hours spent practicing and the average number of points scored in a g

ame. The table below shows the data: Number of hours spent practicing (x) 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 3 3.5 4 Score in the game (y) 5 8 11 14 17 20 23 26 29 Part A: Is there any correlation between the number of hours spent practicing and the score in the game?Justify your answer. (4 points) Part B: Write a function which best fits the data. (3 points) Part C: What does the slope and y-intercept of the plot indicate? (3 points)

Answer:

a) r=\frac{9(396)-(18)(153)}{\sqrt{[9(51) -(18)^2][9(3141) -(153)^2]}}=1  

We have a perfect linear relationship between the two variables

b) m=\frac{90}{15}=6  

Nowe we can find the means for x and y like this:  

\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{18}{9}=2  

\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{153}{9}=17  

And we can find the intercept using this:  

b=\bar y -m \bar x=17-(6*2)=5  

So the line would be given by:  

y=6 x +5  

c) For this case the slope indicates that for each increase of the number of hours in 1 unit we have an expected increase in the score about 6 units.

And the intercept 5 represent the minimum score expected for any game

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following data:

Number of hours spent practicing (x) 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 3 3.5 4

Score in the game (y) 5 8 11 14 17 20 23 26 29

Part a

The correlation coefficient is given:

r=\frac{n(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2 -(\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2 -(\sum y)^2]}}  

For our case we have this:

n=9 \sum x = 18, \sum y = 153, \sum xy = 396, \sum x^2 =51, \sum y^2 =3141  

r=\frac{9(396)-(18)(153)}{\sqrt{[9(51) -(18)^2][9(3141) -(153)^2]}}=1  

We have a perfect linear relationship between the two variables

Part b

m=\frac{S_{xy}}{S_{xx}}  

Where:  

S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}  

S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}  

With these we can find the sums:  

S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}=51-\frac{18^2}{9}=15  

S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i){n}}=396-\frac{18*153}{9}=90  

And the slope would be:  

m=\frac{90}{15}=6  

Nowe we can find the means for x and y like this:  

\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{18}{9}=2  

\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{153}{9}=17  

And we can find the intercept using this:  

b=\bar y -m \bar x=17-(6*2)=5  

So the line would be given by:  

y=6 x +5  

Part c

For this case the slope indicates that for each increase of the number of hours in 1 unit we have an expected increase in the score about 6 units.

And the intercept 5 represent the minimum score expected for any game

Over [174]

Answer:

54 9/10

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is the sum of all the sides

13 1/4 + 12 1/5 + 18 1/4 + 11 1/5

Add up the whole numbers

13+12+18+11 = 54

1/4+1/5+1/4+1/5

2/4+2/5

1/2+2/5

Get a common denominator

1/2*5/5 + 2/5*2/2

5/10 +  4/10

9/10

Add them back together

54 9/10
