The two numbers are 12 and 15

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let the smaller number be "x"

Let the larger number be "y"

Given that,

<em><u>The sum of two numbers is 27</u></em>

Therefore, we frame a equation as:

Smaller number + Larger number = 27

x + y = 27 ------ eqn 1

<em><u>The larger number is 3 more than the smaller number</u></em>

Larger number = 3 + smaller number

y = 3 + x ------- eqn 2

<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2</u></em>

<em><u>Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1</u></em>

x + 3 + x = 27

2x + 3 = 27

2x = 27 - 3

2x = 24

<h3>x = 12</h3>

<em><u>Substitute x = 12 in eqn 2</u></em>

y = 3 + 12

<h3>y = 15</h3>

Thus the two numbers are 12 and 15

Use a graphing calculator to find the value of the correlation coefficient r and determine if there is a strong correlation amon
alekssr [168]

Using a calculator, the correlation coefficient is of 0.7649. Since the correlation is greater than 0.6, there is strong correlation.

<h3>What is a correlation coefficient?</h3>

  • It is an index that measures correlation between two variables, assuming values between -1 and 1.
  • If it is positive, the relation is positive, that is, they are direct proportional. If it is negative, they are inverse proportional.
  • If the absolute value of the correlation coefficient is greater than 0.6, the relationship is strong.

Using a calculator, we insert the points (x,y) to find the coefficient. In this problem, the points are given as follows:

(1, 5), (4, 8), (8, 3), (13, 10), (19, 13)

The coefficient is of 0.7649. Since the correlation is greater than 0.6, there is strong correlation.
