A real life example of a positive correlation would be to to see an increase of popsicle sales when the temperature is warm. This would increase profit. 

A negative example would be to sell ice cream in the winter time. The temperature outside is cold, therefore people want to eat and drink warmer items. They would probably prefer cocoa at this time.

No correlation would be something like cake. Cake is eaten throughout each year and has never been out of style. This means sales would be steady throughout the year.

For each of these examples, I have attached an image provide showing work to fully understand the problem.

<em>Positive correlation</em>

<u>The number of kids at the playground and the number of swings being used</u>

<u />

As the number of kids at the playground increases, the number of swings being used will increase. When both variables increase, they have a positive correlation. Thus, the situation in this problem has a positive correlation.

If we sketch a scatter plot for this situation, notice that the number of kids at the playground would be on the x-axis and the number of swings being used would be on the y-axis.

We can predict that if the number of kids at the playground increases, then the number of swings being used would also increase. Since this is only a sketch, it's not important exactly where our points are. Instead, we simply want to draw the points so our scatter plot has a line of best fit line with an upward of positive slope.

The image for this correlation is the first attachment.

<em>Negative correlation</em>

<u>The amount of time Diaco spends goofing off in class and the grade Dicaco earns in the class</u>

<u />

Notice that if the amount of time that Diaco spends goofing off increases, his grade is likely to decrease. When one variable increases and the other decreases, they have a negative correlation. Thus, the situation in this problem has a negative correlation.

If we sketch a scatter plot for this situation, notice that the time goofing off would be on the x-axis and Diaco's grade would be on the y-axis.

We can predict that if Diaco spends little or no time goofing off, his grade will be high and if he spends a lot of time goofing off, his grade will be low. Since this is only a sketch, it's not important exactly where our points are. Instead, we want to simply draw the points so our scatter plot has a line of best fit with a downward or negative slope.

The image for this correlation is the second attachment.

<em>No correlation</em>

<u>The number of pets a family has and the number of kids in the family </u>

Notice that in most cases, the number of pets a family has is not related to the number of kids in the family. Thus, there is no correlation between the number of pets a family has and the number of kids in the family.

If we sketch a scatter plot for this situation, notice that the number of pets a family has would be on the x-axis and the number of kids in the family would be on the y-axis.

Since there is no correlation between the variables, the data points will be spread out and there will be no best fit line.

The image for "no correlation" is the third attachment.

natulia [17]

Answer:

a. Mean = 20

Sd = 4

b. Probability of X = 20 = 0.1960

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

n = 25

p = 80% = 0.8

mean = np

= 0.8 * 25

= 20

standard deviation = √np(1-p)

= √25*0.8(1-0.8)

=√4

= 2

probability that exactly 20 favours ban

it follows a binomial distribution

= 25C20 × 0.8²⁰ × 0.2⁵

= 53130 × 0.01153 × 0.00032

= 0.1960

Probability of X = 20 = 0.1960

A manufacturer of potato chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 434 gram setting. It is
yan [13]

Answer:

No, there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the bags are underfilled

Step-by-step explanation:

A manufacturer of potato chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 434 gram setting.

This means that the null hypothesis is:

H_{0}: \mu = 434

It is believed that the machine is underfilling the bags.

This means that the alternate hypothesis is:

H_{a}: \mu < 434

The test statistic is:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis, \sigma is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

434 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that \mu = 434

A 9 bag sample had a mean of 431 grams with a variance of 144.

This means that X = 431, n = 9, \sigma = \sqrt{144} = 12

Value of the test-statistic:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

z = \frac{431 - 434}{\frac{12}{\sqrt{9}}}

z = -0.75

P-value of the test:

The pvalue of the test is the pvalue of z = -0.75, which is 0.2266

0.2266 > 0.01, which means that there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the bags are underfilled.

What is the equation of this line
Oxana [17]

Answer:

y = x + 2

If you use y = x, it will become in the direction of that line. I am assuming 1 block = 1 unit of measurement, so y = x + 2.
