Let's say we'll mix "x" amount of the 80% solution, how much antifreeze is in it? well is just 80% of antifreeze, and the rest is something else.... what's 80% of "x"? so is (80/100)*x, or 0.8x.

likewise, the mixture will be a 70% solution, and let's say it adds up to "y" amount, so how much antifreeze is in it? well (70/100) * y or 0.7y.

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&\stackrel{gallons}{amount}&\stackrel{\%}{quantity}&\stackrel{antifreeze}{quantity}\\
&------&------&------\\
\textit{80\% sol'n}&x&0.80&0.8x\\
\textit{10\% sol'n}&100&0.10&10\\
------&------&------&------\\
mixture&y&0.70&0.7y
\end{array}

so whatever "x" is, we know that x + 100 = y.

and we know that 0.8x + 10 = 0.7y.

\bf \begin{cases}
x+100=\boxed{y}\\
0.8x+10=0.7y\\
----------\\
0.8x+10=0.7\left( \boxed{x+100} \right)
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
0.8x+10=0.7x+70\implies 0.8x-0.7x=70-10\implies 0.1x=60
\\\\\\
x=\cfrac{60}{0.1}\implies x=600

bonufazy [111]

Answer: strong positive correlafion between data plan size 'x' and number of text messages sent 'y'

Step-by-step explanation:

'R' in statistics is used to denote correlation Coefficient. The correlation Coefficient is a value which ranges between -1 to +1. It tells us the level of relationship or correlation which exists between the relative movement of two variables, in this case the relationship between data plan size and the number of text messages sent in the US. R value of 0 depicts that no relationship exists between the two variables, R value closer the R value is to +1 and - 1 depicts the strength of positive and negative correlation of the two variables respectively.

A R value of +0.97 in the context above, depicts a strong positive correlation between data plan size and number of text messages sent in the US. That is large data size usually corresponds to large number of text messages and vice versa.
