r -0.341120235    

Correlaton coefficient =cov (xy)/S_x S_y

Covariance (x,y) = E(xy)-E(x)E(y)

The correlation coefficient between the weight of a car and the fuel efficiency is -0.341

Method 1:

\dfrac{a}{20}+\dfrac{14}{15}=\dfrac{9}{15}\ \ \ \ |multiply\ both\ sides\ by\ 60\\\\60\cdot\dfrac{a}{20}+60\cdot\dfrac{14}{15}=60\cdot\dfrac{9}{15}\\\\3a+4\cdot14=4\cdot9\\\\3a+56=36\ \ \ \ |subtract\ 56\ from\ both\ sides\\\\3a=-20\ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 3\\\\\boxed{a=-\frac{20}{3}\to a=-6\frac{2}{3}}

Method 2.

\dfrac{a}{20}+\dfrac{14}{15}=\dfrac{9}{15}\ \ \ \ |subtract\ \dfrac{14}{15}\ form\ both\ sides\\\\\dfrac{a}{20}=-\dfrac{5}{15}\\\\\dfrac{a}{20}=-\dfrac{1}{3}\ \ \ \ |multiply\ both\ sides\ by\ 20\\\\\boxed{a=-\dfrac{20}{3}\to a=-6\frac{2}{3}}

What is the value of x
My name is Ann [436]
X=3



Explanation:

A straight line equals 180°, and they give you the one angle of 56°, so you know 56+ the other equation has to equal 180

56+4x+112=180
168+4x=180

Subtract 168 from both sides

4x=12

Divide 4 from both sides

X=3


You can check by filling it in.


56+4*3+112=

12+56+112=180

A bicycle lock has a four-digit code. The possible digits, 0 through 9, cannot be repeated. What is the probability that the loc
kozerog [31]
First let's find the number of the elements in the sample space, that is the total number of codes that can be produced.

The first digit is any of {0, 1, 2...,9}, that is 10 possibilities
the second digit is any of the remaining 9, after having picked one. 
and so on...

so in total there are 10*9*8*7 = 5040 codes.

a. What is the probability that the lock code will begin with 5?

Lets fix the first number as 5. Then there are 9 possibilities for the second digit, 8 for the third on and 7 for the last digit.

Thus, there are 1*9*8*7=504 codes which start with 5.

so 

P(first digit is five)=\frac{n(first -digit- is- 5)}{n(all-codes)}= \frac{1*9*8*7 }{10*9*8*7 }= \frac{1}{10}=0.1

b. <span>What is the probability that the lock code will not contain the number 0? 

from the set {0, 1, 2...., } we exclude 0, and we are left with {1, 2, ...9}

from which we can form in total 9*8*7*6 codes which do not contain 0.

P(codes without 0)=n(codes without 0)/n(all codes)=(9*8*7*6)/(10*9*8*7)=6/10=0.6

Answer:

0.1 ; 0.6</span>
