Answer:

r=0.933

Step-by-step explanation:

X = the water content of snow on April 1

Y = the yield from April to July (in inches) on the Snake River watershed in Wyoming for 1919 to 1935.

x: 23.1 32.8 31.8 32.0 30.4 24.0 39.5 24.2 52.5 37.9 30.5 25.1 12.4 35.1 31.5 21.1 27.6

y: 10.5 16.7 18.2 17.0 16.3 10.5 23.1 12.4 24.9 22.8 14.1 12.9 8.8 17.4 14.9 10.5 16.1

We can construct the following table

n  \sum x     \sum y     \sum x^2       \sum y^2        \sum xy

______________________________________________

1    23.1    10.5   533.61     110.25     242.55

2   32.8   16.7    1075.84   278.89   547.76

3   31.8    18.2    1011.24     331.24    578.76

4   32.0   17.0    1024         289        544

5   30.4   16.3    924.16      265.69   495.52

6   24.0   10.5    600.25     110.25     252

7   39.5    23.1    1560.25    533.61    912.45

8   24.2    12.4    585.64      153.76    300.48

9   52.5    24.9   2756.25    620.01   1307.25

10  37.9    22.8   1436.41      519.84    864.12

11   30.5    14.1     930.25      198.81     430.05

12   25.1    12.9    630.01       166.41     323.79

13   12.4     8.8     153.76       77.44      109.12

14   35.1     17.4    1232.01      302.76   610.74

15   31.5     14.9    992.25      222.01    469.35

16   21.1      10.5    445.21       110.25     221.55

17    27.6    16.1     761.76       259.21    444.36

____________________________________________

On this case n=17, \sum x = 511.5   \sum y=267.1   \sum x^2 =16628.65  \sum y^2 =4549.43   \sum xy =8653.45

And we can use the following formula to calculate the correlation coefficient:

r=\frac{n(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2-(\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2-(\sum y)^2]}}

And replacing we have:

r=\frac{17(8653.45)-(511.5)(267.1)}{\sqrt{[17(16628.65)-(511.5)^2][17(4549.43)-(267.1)^2]}}=0.933

Matt bought an iPod from the Apple Store for $350. If it's value will depreciate by $52 a year, how much should Matt sell his iP
Bogdan [553]
Decreasing by $52 every year, we need to subtract 52 for each year. 

350 is the original price. 
52x is the amount decreased by how many years

350 - 52(3) = ?
350-156 = 194

Answer: Matt should sell his iPod for $194 in 3 years

The life of a manufacturer's compact fluorescent light bulbs is normal, with mean 12,000 hours and standard deviation 2,000 hour
vitfil [10]

Z value is a numerical  measurement that describe a value relationship to the mean of a group of values. The standard deviations is 1.25 above the mean is 14,500 hours.

<h3>Given information-</h3>

The mean for the bulb is 12,000 hours.

The standard deviation for the bulb is 2000 hours.

Sample value is 14500.

To find out the how many standard deviation is 14500 mean away from the mean the z value of the mean should be calculated.

<h3>Z value</h3>

Z value is a numerical  measurement that describe a value relationship to the mean of a group of values. Z value is the ratio of the difference of the sample value x and mean \mu to the standard deviation. Thus the z value for the given mean \sigma is,

z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

z=\dfrac{14500-1200}{2000}

z=1.25

Thus the standard deviations is 1.25 above the mean is 14,500 hours.
