I believe the answer to this is correct and i believe he did this by adding(i think)
1. Convert the mixed numbers into improper numbers (-3 2/5 = -17/5 and 8 1/5 = 41/5). Then add 17/5 to both sides when means b=58/5
2. Multiply both sides by the reciprocal of -7/3 (which is -3/7). So n=18
Answer:
Correlation requires both variables to be quantitative.
Step-by-step explanation:
The correlation coefficient measures the strength of relationship between two quantitative variables. In the given scenario correlation between sex of American workers and their income is computed and indicated that there is a high correlation between them. The sex of American worker is a categorical variable or a qualitative variable while income of American worker is a quantitative variable. The correlation between a quantitative variable and a qualitative variable can't be computed. So, the statement explains the blunder in the given scenario is "Correlation requires both variables to be quantitative".
