Answer:

The best estimate for this correlation would be B) 0.9.

We can see that the number is constantly going up, which would throw out the D answer.

We can also see that for every time the x goes up 1, the y goes up a little less than one. We can see that in the ordered pairs that exist on the graph such as (3, 2), (8, 6) and (2.1, 1.9).

Since the y values are just lower than the x, the correlation would be just under one. Therefore, 0.9 is an accurate estimation.

Answer:

0.9

Step-by-step explanation:

The best way to estimate the value of correlation coefficient from scatter plot is draw a straight line such that the distance between the straight line and scatter point is minimum.

If the direction of straight line is towards top right then value of correlation coefficient is positive otherwise if direction of straight line is towards bottom right then value of correlation coefficient is negative.

And, if straight line is nearly horizontal then value of correlation coefficient is nearly 0.5 or -0.5.

Thus, we have only two possible values of correlation coefficient which is 1 or 0.9

Also, here we see that as the value of x is increasing the value of y is also increasing but it is comparatively less than the increase of x.(See the scatter points (3, 2), (8, 6) and (2.1, 1.9)). If both rate of change is constant then value of correlation coefficient is 1.

Hence, value of correlation coefficient is 0.9

A sample of 56 research cotton samples resulted in a sample average percentage elongation of 8.63 and a sample standard deviatio

ss7ja [257]

To solve for the confidence interval for the true average percentage elongation, we use the z statistic. The formula for confidence interval is given as:

Confidence interval = x ± z σ / sqrt (n)

where,

x = the sample mean = 8.63

σ = sample standard deviation = 0.79

n = number of samples = 56

From the standard distribution tables, the value of z at 95% confidence interval is:

z = 1.96

Therefore substituting the known values into the equation:

Confidence interval = 8.63 ± (1.96) (0.79) / sqrt (56)

Confidence interval = 8.63 ± 0.207

Confidence interval = 8.42, 8.84

What is the answer to 3x+y=12

maw [93]

<span>Simplifying 3x + -1y = 12 Solving 3x + -1y = 12 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add 'y' to each side of the equation. 3x + -1y + y = 12 + y Combine like terms: -1y + y = 0 3x + 0 = 12 + y 3x = 12 + y Divide each side by '3'. x = 4 + 0.3333333333y Simplifying x = 4 + 0.3333333333y</span>

If the legs of a right triangle are x, (2x - 1) and its hypotenuse is (2x + 1), what is the value of x?

Ber [7]

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x + 1)² = x² + (2x - 1)² = x² + (2x - 1)(2x - 1)

(2x + 1)(2x + 1) = x² + 4x²-2x-2x+1

4x²+2x+2x+1 = 5x²-4x+1

4x²+4x+1 = 5x²-4x+1

0= 5x²-4x²-4x-4x+1-1

0= x²-8x

x²-8x=0

x²=8x

x=8

a stage is 10 yards long and 5 yards wide. The orchestra pit in front of the stage is 4 yards long and 2 yards wide. How much fl

Lilit [14]

Well to find this answer, I assume that you want me to help with finding the area. Let's start with the area of the stage. Off of the info you gave me, I assume that the stage and pit are rectangles. So to find the area of the rectangles, we need to use the area formula A=l×w. Plug in the numbers into the formula and we get A=10×5. So the area of the stage is 50 yards. Now do the same thing for the pit, and we get A=4×2. So the pit's area is 8 yards. Add 50 and 8 to get the total area and we get 58. So the stage and the orchestra pit take up 58 yards of floor space. Hope I helped!
