<span>The zone theory is based on the belief that structural factors such as poverty,
illiteracy, lack of schooling, and unemployment are powerful forces
that influence levels of crime.
</span> Park and Burgess proposed a theory of crime known as concentric zone theory.They showed that the zones closest to the inner city had the highest
prevalence of social ills, notably, unemployment, poverty, reliance on
social assistance, and rates of disease
Suspension in schools is defined as the mandatory exclusion from the learning environment. One argument is that children who are "disobedient" in school should not be suspended for behavior because they are usually students who are behind academically and therefore will continue to be further behind the other students. The achievement gap will continue to widen for these students.
Answer:
1. Co-variance= -1.2
2. correlation coefficient= -0.4404
3. There is weak negative relationship between x and y.
Explanation:
1.
Co-variance= Cov(x,y)= sum[(x-xbar)(y-ybar)]/n
xbar=sumx/n=32/5=6.4
ybar=sumy/n=35/5=7
x 7 8 5 3 9
x-xbar 0.6 1.6 -1.4 -3.4 2.6
y 7 5 9 7 7
y-ybar 0 -2 2 0 0
(x-xbar)(y-ybar) 0 -3.2 -2.8 0 0
Cov(x,y)= sum[(x-xbar)(y-ybar)]/n=-6/5=-1.2
Cov(x,y)=-1.2
2.
correlation coefficient=r

x 7 8 5 3 9
x-xbar 0.6 1.6 -1.4 -3.4 2.6
y 7 5 9 7 7
y-ybar 0 -2 2 0 0
(x-xbar)(y-ybar) 0 -3.2 -2.8 0 0
(x-xbar)² 0.36 2.56 1.96 11.56 6.76
(y-ybar)² 0 4 4 0 0

r=-0.4404
3. Since the value of correlation coefficient is negative and less than 0.5 , so, we can say that there is weak negative relationship between x and y.
