This is because the points seem to trend upward as we move from left to right. This makes sense because the more attempts you get, the more hits you're expected to get.

Assume that someone has a batting average of 0.300; this means that if they got 1000 attempts, then we expect about 0.300*1000 = 300 hits. Now if they got 2000 at bats this time, then we expect about 0.300*2000 = 600 hits.

Of course things won't fit this perfectly since everything in life has random statistical error, but this gives a good idea of the upward trending data. The two variables (at bats and hits) are strongly related. We can say the variables have strong positive correlation.

Mike buys a large goldfish for $22 and food for his new friend

Dovator [93]

Answer:

Mike started off the day with $27.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the information given to us, we can set up an equation. Knowing that Mike ended the day with $7, and the amount of money that he spent and received can help us set up an equation. The amount of money that he started the day off with, is unknown, and recognized as x. $7=x-22-3+5$

To solve this, we can simply solve the numbers that we know on the right hand side, to get this:

$7=x-20$

Now, to get our final answer we must isolate x. We can do this by simply adding 20 to both sides. This cancels out the -20 on the right, and makes the 7 on the left become 27.

$27=x$

Therefore, Mike started the day off with $27.
