Answer:

B -0.104

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write the formula for correlation

r = total xy

√Total x² x Total y²

Step 2: Make a table to calculate all values

Table is attached in the picture below

Step 3 : Solve

Mean of X = Total X/ Total number of X

= 507/12

= 106.33

Mean of Y = Total Y/ Total number of Y

= 1276/ 12

= 42.25

r = total xy

√Total x² x Total y²

r = -352.05/ √3656.25 x 3122.66698

r = -0.104

-0.104 is negative

This negative correlation means there is an inverse correlation between variables.

Answer:

B. According to this data, there is a negative correlation between age and IQ.

Step-by-step explanation:

Correlation shows the strength of relation between two variables. The formula used to calculate correlation is:

$Correlation(r) = \frac{Cov(x, y)}{\sigma_{x}\sigma_{y}}= \frac{E(x-\mu_{x})(y-\mu_{y})}{\sigma_{x}\sigma_{y}}$

where, Cov(x,y) = Covariance of x and y

$\sigma_{x}$ = standard deviation of x

$\sigma_{y}$ = standard deviation of y

$\mu_{x}$ = mean of x

$\mu_{y}$ = mean of y

and, E denotes the Expectation.

The value of the correlation lies between -1 to +1.

If the value of correlation lies between -1 to 0 then it is known as a negative correlation.

and, If the value of correlation lies between 0 to 1 then it is known as a positive correlation.

Using the above formula of correlation we get Correlation (r) = -0.1225.

Thus, there is negative correlation between age and IQ.

We can also use a correlation calculator for getting the value of correlation.

Hence, option (B) is correct.

The mean weight of four trucks were 3,700 pounds.The first truck was 3,250 pounds.The second truck was 3,890 pounds.Tue lady tru

9966 [12]

Answer:

4,020

Step-by-step explanation:

mean = average

Ideally, in order for us to have a 3,700 pound average, each of the four trucks would be 3,700 pounds. Added up, we would have a total of: 14,800 pounds (3,700×4)
Let's see how much pounds we already have:
3,250 + 3,890 + 3,640 = 10,780

Now we need to find how much pounds we are missing: 14,800 - 10,780 =

<h2>4,020 for the fourth truck</h2>

Let's check: 3,250 + 3,890 + 3,640 + 4,020 = 14,800
14,800/4 = 3,700 pounds

<h3>Good job! I hope this helps</h3>

The line 3x-8y=k cuts the x-axis and y- axis at the point A and B respectively. If the area of ∆AOB =12sq.units, find the value

Sladkaya [172]

Given:

The equation is:

$3x-8y=k$

It cuts the x-axis and y- axis at the point A and B respectively.

The area of ∆AOB =12 sq.units.

To find:

The value of <em>k</em>.

Solution:

We have,

$3x-8y=k$

Substituting $x=0$ to find the y-intercept.

$3(0)-8y=k$

$0-8y=k$

$y=\dfrac{k}{-8}$

$y=-\dfrac{k}{8}$

Substituting $y=0$ to find the x-intercept.

$3x-8(0)=k$

$3x-0=k$

$x=\dfrac{k}{3}$

Area of a triangle is:

$A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times base\times height$

The height of the ∆AOB is $OB=\dfrac{k}{8}$ because distance cannot be negative and the base of the ∆AOB is $OA=\dfrac{k}{3}$ . So, the area of the ∆AOB is:

$A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{k}{8}\times \dfrac{k}{3}$

$A=\dfrac{k^2}{48}$

It is given that, the area of ∆AOB = 12 sq.units.

$\dfrac{k^2}{48}=12$

$k^2=576$

$k=\pm \sqrt{576}$

$k=\pm 24$

Therefore, the value of k is either 24 or -24.

A sample of 23 newborns at the Dallas university health center had the following lengths in centimeters. The measurements have b

Andrej [43]

Answer:

Minimum - 46.4

First quartile - 48.8

Third quartile - 53.2

Median - 50.4

Maximum - 55.9

Step-by-step explanation:

If you write all the numbers down on a piece of paper and start crossing out from the beginning and end Ex. cross out 46.4 and 55.9 until you get to the middle (median) thats how you figure the median out. Continue to do that until you find the first quartile, and last quartile. The maximum and minimum are easy to find those are the biggest and smallest number in the group. To find the first and last quartile, you would do the same thing to find the median just do it from the median and go to the beginning or the end depending on which one you find first. Hope this helps! I learned how to do the crossing things from my old school :)
