Which phrase describes a nonlinear function?

1 answer:

5 0

The only non-linear equation from your choices is the area of a circle as it is:

A=πr^2 and if you take the derivative of A you have:

dA/dr=2πr

So the rate of change changes as r changes, it is not constant thus the function has acceleration, so velocity changes.

This is in contrast to any linear equation which is of the form:

y=mx+b now taking the derivative you see that:

dy/dx=m, now m is a constant value, which means that there is no acceleration and the velocity remains constant.

3. The three salespeople for a local advertising firm are Lola, Ahmed, and Tommy. Lola sold $2030 in ads, Ahmed sold $1540, and

zimovet [89]

A.) First, you find the total sales. $2030 + $1540 + $1800 = $5370. Then, divide each with the total. The answer would be:

Lola: 203/537
Ahmed: 154/537
Tommy: 60/179

b.) Divide 100 by 3 for equal shares. Each person receives $33.3.

A study was conducted looking at the association between the number of polyps in the colon and mean grams of fiber consumed per

rewona [7]

Answer:

C) The Spearman correlation results should be reported because at least one of the variables does not meet the distribution assumption required to use Pearson correlation.

Explanation:

The following multiple choice responses are provided to complete the question:

A) The Pearson correlation results should be reported because it shows a stronger correlation with a smaller p-value (more significant).

B) The Pearson correlation results should be reported because the two variables are normally distributed.

C) The Spearman correlation results should be reported because at least one of the variables does not meet the distribution assumption required to use Pearson correlation.

D) The Spearman correlation results should be reported because the p-value is closer to 0.0556.

Further Explanation:

A count variable is discrete because it consists of non-negative integers. The number of polyps variable is therefore a count variable and will most likely not be normally distributed. Normality of variables is one of the assumptions required to use Pearson correlation, however, Spearman's correlation does not rest upon an assumption of normality. Therefore, the Spearman correlation would be more appropriate to report because at least one of the variables does not meet the distribution assumption required to use Pearson correlation.
