Answer:

Option D. is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given statement is \frac{a}{b}+\frac{c}{d}=\frac{a+c}{b+d}

Now we have to find a counter example from the given options that the statement is False.

A. a = 3, b = 5, c = -3, d = 5

\frac{a}{b}+\frac{c}{d}=\frac{a+c}{b+d}=\frac{3}{5}+\frac{-3}{5}=\frac{3-3}{5+5}

0 = 0

So the given statement is true.

B. a = 0, b = 4, c = 0, d= 9

\frac{a}{b}+\frac{c}{d}=\frac{a+c}{b+d}

0 + 0 = 0

So for this example the given statement is true.

C. a = -2, b = 1, c = 2, d = 1

\frac{a}{b}+\frac{c}{d}=\frac{a+c}{b+d}

\frac{-2}{1}+\frac{2}{1}=\frac{-2+2}{1+1}

0 = 0

Statement is true for these values.

D. a = 1, b = 2, c = 1, d = 2

\frac{a}{b}+\frac{c}{d}=\frac{a+c}{b+d}

\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1+1}{2+2}

1=\frac{1}{2}

Therefore, for these values of a, b, c and d, the given statement is False.

Option D. is the answer.

What is most likely the correlation coefficient for the set of data shown shown
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

C) 0.19

Step-by-step explanation:

A correlation coefficient is a measure of how well the line of best fit fits the data.  The higher the correlation coefficient, up to 1.0 or -1.0, the better the fit. A positive correlation coefficient means an increasing data set, while a negative correlation coefficient means a decreasing data set.

We can see that this line of best fit is increasing, so our correlation coefficient will be positive.

However we can also see that the points are fairly scattered; this means this is not a very good fit.  This means that 0.19 is the better fit.
