I would say the answer is A) missing data because they have lost 8 of the original participants in the study.
Answer:
a. correlation
b. inverse linear correlation exists If the higher the population of students lead to a decrease in test score,
c. yes
Step-by-step explanation:
a. Correlation is a measure of the amount of association existing between two variables.
b. For linear correlation, if points are plotted on a graph and all the points lie on a straight line, then perfect linear correlation is said to exist. When a straight line having a positive gradient can reasonably be drawn through points on a graph positive or direct linear correlation exists,
Similarly,when a straight line having a negative gradient can reasonably be drawn through points on a graph, negative or inverse linear correlation exists,
The results of this determination give values of r lying between +1 and −1, where +1 indicates perfect direct Positive linear correlation and −1 indicates perfect inverse correlation or Negative linear correlation and 0 indicates that no correlation exists.
If the higher the population of students lead to a decrease in test score, there will definitely be a negative correlation between class size and test score. i.e low class size result in high test score which consequently lead to high performance.
c. YES
A negative correlation means low class size result in high test score which consequently lead to better performance.
Solution :
Given :
2y''' + 15y'' + 24y' + 11y= 0
Let x = independent variable
is a differential equation.
If 
It is non homogeneous then,
The general solution = complementary solution + particular integral
If Q(x) = 0
It is called the homogeneous then the general solution = complementary solution.
2y''' + 15y'' + 24y' + 11y= 0

Auxiliary equation,

-1 | 2 15 24 11
<u> | 0 -2 - 13 -11 </u>
2 13 11 0
∴ 
The roots are




So, 
Then the general solution is :

Answer:
In the picture above.
Step-by-step explanation:
I hope that it's a clear solution.
The answer will be yes.
Why?
Well, you know that's it's a linear equation/ function if the exponents are only 1. And by looking at this equation you'll see that there are no exponents other than 1. So the answer is yes, it is a linear equation.
