Answer:

Option b) r = 0.70      

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in he question:

Variables:

x = the number of hours spent studying for a test

y = the number of points earned on the test

  • Correlation is a technique that help us to find or define a relationship between two variables.  
  • A positive correlation means that an increase in one quantity leads to an increase in another quantity
  • A negative correlation means with increase in one quantity the other quantity decreases.
  • +1 tells about a a perfect positive linear relationship and −1 indicates a perfect negative linear relationship.
  • Values between 0 and 0.3 tells about a weak positive linear relationship, values between 0.3 and 0.7 shows a moderate positive correlation and a correlation of 0.7 and 1.0 states a strong positive linear relationship.
  • Values between 0 and -0.3 tells about a weak negative linear relationship, values between -0.3 and -0.7 shows a moderate negative correlation and a correlation value of of -0.7 and -1.0 states a strong negative linear relationship.

As the number of hours increases, the number of points earned on the test increases. Thus, the two variables are positively correlated.

Thus, the coefficient correlation between two variables can be given by r = 0.70, that shows a moderate positive correlation.

Option b) r = 0.70

You are given f(0) = 1 and g(0) = -2 and g(1) = 3. What is <br> g ∘ f ( 0 ) <br> equal to?
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

  • <u><em>g∘f (0) = 1</em></u>

Explanation:

The <em>composition</em> of the <em>functions</em> f and g represented by g ∘ f ( 0 ) means that g is applied to f(0), i.e f(0) is the input to the function g.

Since f(0) = 1, you are going fo find g(1):

         \( g\circ f(x)=g(f(x)) \)\\\\\( g\circ f(0)=g(f(0)) \)\\\\\( g\circ f(0)=g(1) \)=3

Evelyn bought 8.4 gallons of gas for $23.94. Which equation can be used to determine the price of each gallon of gas? 8.4x = 23.
adoni [48]

Answer:

the equation would be

8.4x = 23.94

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of each gallon of gas is $x.

And we have been given that 8.4 gallons of gas for $23.94.

So, we can make the below proportion

Cross multiplying, we get

Hence, the equation that can be used to determine the price of each gallon of gas is
