Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In statistics, association is any statistical relationship, whether causal or not, between two random variables or bivariate data. One is independent and other is dependent variable. In the broadest sense correlation is any statistical association, though in common usage it most often refers to how close two variables are to having a linear relationship with each other.

Examples are exercise and sickness are negatively correlated.

Study hours and marks are positively correlated

When correlation is nearer -1 or +1 there is a strong correlation. When correlation is nearer to 0 than to 1 or -1 we say that there is a negative correlation.

Here sign of r is positive.

Hence there is a positive and weak correlation.

Mr. Douglas drove 2,482 miles. He spent 42.5 hours in the car driving. What was his average speed for the trip?

riadik2000 [5.3K]

I think you just divide the number of miles by the number of hours he spent driving.

2,482/42.5= 58.4

58mph

Greta currently works 45 hours per week and earns a weekly salary of $729. She

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Greta will be earning 3.6/h more at her new job.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the difference subract Greta‘s salary from her current job from Greta’s salary from her future job.

To find Greta’s salary (numerator) at her future job divide her current weekly salary ($729) by 45h then multiply that answer (16.2) by the increase in salary 10% or 1.1. You should end up with $17.82- this is your numerator. To find the denominator divide her current hours (45h) by 45 then multiply that answer (1) by 0.9 which is the 10% decrease in hours. Now you have a fraction ($17.82/0.9) then multiply that fraction by 1.1/1.1 to get the denominator to 1 hour so you can subtract the fractions. You should end up with $19.8/h.

Now subtract Greta’s current salary ($16.2/h)- you just take the numbers from the first part before you increase or decrease- from her future salary ($19.8/h), you will end up with 3.6/h.

I was challenged to write this in a single equation:

[((($729\45h)x1.1)/((45h\45)x0.9))x1.1/1.1]-[($729\45h)/(45h\45)]

=$3.6/h

/ means a fraction bar

\ means division

Also I am just a student so please tell me if you find any mistakes I could fix or any suggestions to make this a better explanation, and if you have any questions ask away.

A flying carpet flies 2.4 miles with the wind in the same amount of time it flies 1.4 miles against the wind. The wind speed is

Ainat [17]

Answer:

$15.2~mph$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time flown by the flying carpet be $t$ . Then, we have that $(2.4)/t=(1.4)/t+2*4$ .

We multiply both sides of the equation by $t$ to get $2.4=1.4+8t$ .

We subtract $1.4$ from both sides to get $1=8t$ .

We divide both sides of the equation by $t=1/8$ .

We know that the speed of the flying carpet in still wind is the average of the rates of the speed of the flying carpet with the wind and against the wind.

The speed with wind is $(2.4)/(1/8)=19.2$ mph.

The speed against wind is $(1.4)/(1/8)=11.2$ mph.

The speed in still wind is $(19.2+11.2)/2=(30.4)/2=15.2$ .

Therefore, the answer is $\boxed{15.2~mph}$ and we're done!

Two turtles race. The speed of the first is 4 1/ 2 inches per minute and the speed of the other is 5 inches per minute How far a

RSB [31]

Answer:

(a) 1.5 inches

(b) 2.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

speed of first turtle = 4 1/2 inches per minute = 9/2 inches per minute

speed of the second turtle = 5inches per minute

distance = speed x time

(a) Distance traveled by first turtle in 3 minutes

s = 9/2 x 3 = 13.5 inches

distance traveled by second turtle in 3 minutes

s' = 5 x 3 = 15 inches

So, the gap is

s'- s = 15 - 13.5 = 1.5 inches

(b) Distance traveled by first turtle in 5 minutes

s = 9/2 x 5 = 22.5 inches

distance traveled by second turtle in 5 minutes

s' = 5 x 5 = 25 inches

So, the gap is

s'- s = 25 - 22.5 = 2.5 inches

s = 9/2 x 10 = 45 inches

distance traveled by second turtle in 10 minutes

s' = 5 x 10 = 50 inches

So, the gap is

s'- s = 50 - 45 = 5 inches
