Answer:

There is a positive correlation between both variables.

Step-by-step explanation:

That is to say, the relation between the cost and the size of the storage containers is growing.

As the size of the container increases the cost also increases.

The closer the correlation coefficient is to 1, the stronger is the positive relationship between the variables, in this case r = 0.52, so it could be concluded that the relationship between the variables is a medium positive correlation

Solution-

A correlation coefficient is a statistical measure of the degree to which changes to the value of one variable affects change to the value of another.

Correlation coefficients are expressed as values between +1 and -1. A

coefficient of +1 indicates a perfect positive correlation: A change in the value of one variable will affect a change in the same direction in the second variable.

A coefficient of -1 indicates a perfect negative correlation: A change in the value of one variable predicts a change in the opposite direction in the second variable.

Lesser degrees of correlation are expressed as non-zero decimals. A coefficient of zero indicates there is no relationship between fluctuations of the variables.

∴ It's a positive correlation of 0.52, so as the box gets bigger the cost goes up. However, the cost goes up at only half the rate of increase of the size (bigger boxes are cheaper per unit volume).

Use the net as an aid to compute the surface area (rounded to the nearest integer) of the triangular pyramid with an equilateral

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Correct answer is $C)\ 254\ m^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the given diagram, we know the following details:

Height of the triangular pyramid is 14m.

Side of base = 10m

Height of Triangular base = 8.7m

Formula for surface area of triangular pyramid:

$\text{Area = Area of Triangular base + 3 }\times\text{Area of side triangle}$

(Triangular base is shown in the dotted lines in the question figure.

The other 3 triangles are the side triangles.)

We know that,

$\text{Area of a triangle = }\dfrac{1}{2} \times \text{Base} \times \text{Height}$

$\Rightarrow \text{Required Surface Area = } \dfrac{1}{2} \times 8.7 \times 10 + 3 \times \dfrac{1}{2} \times 14 \times 10\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}\times (87 + 3 \times 140)\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}\times (87 + 420)\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2} \times 507\\$\approx$ 254 m^{2}$

Hence correct answer is $C)\ 254\ m^{2}$ .

Which function g represents the exponential function f(x) = 5x after a vertical stretch by a factor of 2 and a reflection across

irinina [24]

Answer:

g(x) = -2 • 5^x

Step-by-step explanation:

the reflection across the x-axis makes the equation negative. the 2 is the verticals stretch.

Answer:

40--C A ---is not[figure it out in your own words,your teacher might suspect something] and B---times 40

Step-by-step explanation:

b--40+40=80 80+40=120 and 120+40=160 A=subtract 40 from all the other answers such as 40-160=120 40-120=80 and 40-80=40
