Answer: b) τ = 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

Amount of salt (x)____% body fat(y)

0.2 _______________20

0.3 _______________30

0.4 _______________22

0.5 _______________30

0.7 _______________38

0.9 _______________23

1.1 ________________30

The correlation Coefficient as obtained from the online pearson correlation Coefficient calculator is 0.3281 = 0.3 (to one decimal place) which implies that a weak positive correlation or relationship exists between the preferred amount of salt taken to the percentage body weight of an individual. This is because the value is positive and closer to 0 than 1. The closer the weaker the degree of correlation. With positive values implying a positive relationship (that is an increase in variable A leads to a corresponding increase in B and vice-versa).

Suppose you invest $1500 at an Annual interest rate of 5% compounded continuously. How much will you have in the account after 4
aleksklad [387]
So you know the compound continuously formula is A = Pe^{rt}. Thus, just plug in. A = (1500)e^{(.05)(4)} Plug that into your calc to get $1832.
