You use a line of best fit for a set of data to make a prediction about an unknown value. The correlation coefficient for your d

ata set is 0.109. How confident can you be that your predicted value will be reasonably close to the actual value?
a. I can't be confident at all; this is about as close to a random guess you could get


b. I can be a little confident; it might be close, or it might by way off


c. I can be very confident; it will be close, but it probably won't be exact


d. I can be certain that my predicted value will match the actual value exactly


please help.

I think the answer is C.

Answer:

With a correlation coefficient of 0.109 you can not be confident at all; this is about as close to a random guess you could get.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Lines of best fit are used to try to make a correlation (relationship) about data that will either be positive (uphill), negative (downhill) or no correlation (points are scattered).  Correlation coefficients based off of a line of best fit will fall between -1 and +1 where -1 would represent a perfect negative relationship and +1 would represent a perfect positive relationship.  A correlation coefficient of 0 would indicate that there is no relationship.  So, if your data shows a correlation coefficient of 0.109, which is closest to 0 on a number line, then you can't be sure that your data has a very close relationship.

Complete the coordinate proof of the theorem.
mojhsa [17]
C(a,b), because the x-coordinate( first coordinate) is a (seeing as it is situated directly above point B, which also has an x-coordinate of a) and the y-coordinate ( second coordinate) is b (seeing as it is situated on the same horizontal level as point D, which also has a y-coordinate of b)

the length of AC can be calculated with the theorem of Pythagoras:

length AB = a - 0 = a
length BC = b - 0 = b

seeing as the length of AC is the longest, it can be calculated by the following formula:

It is called "Pythagoras' Theorem" and can be written in one short equation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 (^ means to the power of by the way)

in this case, A and B are lengths AB and BC, so lenght AC can be calculated as the following:

a^2 + b^2 = (length AC)^2
length AC = √(a^2 + b^2)

Extra information: Seeing as the shape of the drawn lines is a rectangle, lines AC and BD have to be the same length, so BD is also √(a^2 + b^2). But that is also stated in the assignment!

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the difference between consecutive terms is - 8

To obtain the next term in the sequence subtract 8 from the previous term.

next term = 56 - 8 = 48

The sequence is 72, 64, 56, 48

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

You can do this two ways, the easiest way is to look at the graph.

What is g(4) means: When the x value equals 4, what does y equal?

Look for the coordinate with the x-value of 4 (it's asking for g(4). Now if you look at the y-value of the coordinate, it should tell you what g(4) is. So since the coordinate is (4,-1), g(4) is -1.

Another way to do it is to plug in 4 for x in the equation. So...

g(4) = -[f(4) - 3)]

g(4) = -[4 - 3]

g(4) = -[1]

g(4) = -1
