If the correlation between height and weight of a large group of people is 0.75​, find the coefficient of determination​ (as a​

percent) and explain what it means. assume that height is the predictor and weight is the​ response, and assume that the association between height and weight is linear.

Independent variable is the predictor variable which is the height and dependent variable is the response variable which is weight in this scenario.

The square of correlation coefficient gives the coefficient of determination. It is denoted by R² (R squared).

We are given:
R = 0.75

So,
R²  = 0.75²

R² = 0.5625

R²  = 56.25 %
The coefficient of determination tells how much of the trend of dependent data can be explained by the independent data using the linear regression model. So in the given case, Height can explain 56.25% of the trend in the weight.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that  the correlation between height and weight of a large group of people is 0.75

Coefficient of determination = R^2 =0.75^2 =0.5625=56.25%

Coefficient of determination gives us the strength of association between two variables and how much the variability of the response variable i.e. weight is due to the variability of the predictor variable i.e. height

When there is a linear association correlation coefficient square gives us the reason for the variability and percentage due to the variability in predictor variable

1. Charlene wants to center a rectangular pool in her backyard so that the edges of the pool are an equal distance from the edge
Inga [223]

First, we have to calculate the length of the sides of the pool, we are told that the scale factor of the backyard to the pool size equals 1/2, then we can find the length of the sides of the pool by multiplying the lengths of the sides of the backyard by 1/2, like this:

length of the pool = length of the yard * 1/2

width of the pool = width of the yard * 1/2

By replacing the 60 m for the length of the yard and 50 m for the width, we get:

length of the pool = 60 * 1/2 = 30

width of the pool = 50 * 1/2 = 25

Let's call x1 to the distance from the base of the pool to the bottom side of the yard and x2 to the distance from the top side of the pool to the top side of the yard, then we can formulate the following equation:

width of the yard = width of the pool + x1 + x2

Since we want the edges to be at an equal distance, x1 and x2 are the same, then we can rewrite them as x:

width of the yard = width of the pool + x + x

width of the yard = width of the pool + 2x

Replacing the known values:

60 = 30 + 2x

From this equation, we can solve for x to get:

60 - 30 = 30 - 30 + 2x

30 = 2x

30/2 = 2x/2

15 = x

x = 15

Now, let's call y1 to the distance from the right side of the corresponding side of the yard and y2 to the distance from the left side of the pool to the left side of the yard, with this, we can formulate the following equation:

length of the yard = length of the pool + y1 + y2

Since we want the edges to be at an equal distance, y1 and y2 are the same, then we can rewrite them as y:

length of the yard = length of the pool + y + y

length of the yard = length of the pool + 2y

Replacing the known values:

50 = 25 + 2y

50 - 25 = 25 - 25 + 2y

25 = 2y

25/2 = 2y/2

12.5 = y

y = 12.5

Now, we know that the pool must be at a distance of 15 m from the horizontal sides of the pool to the horizontal sides of the yard and that it must be at a distance of 12.5 m from the vertical sides of the pool to the vertical sides of the yards.

Here is a figure that depicts the results:

Find f (0) and find x when f (x) =4
Anuta_ua [19.1K]
At x = 0, y-coordinate is at -4 so that means f(0) = -4

Now for f(x) = 4, we need to find any x-coordinates such that y-coordinates is 4.

There are two possible answer: x = -8 and x = 8

So x = -8, 8

Hope this helps.
