Answer:

A. negative correlation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let two variables x and y, the correlation coefficient r measure to what degree the variables x and y are related.

--- If this coefficient is positive then the relationship will be positive. This means that even an increase in the variable x will produce an increase in the variable y. In the dispersion diagram the points will be grouped, simulating a line of positive slope.

--- If this coefficient is negative then the relation will be negative. This means that even an increase in the variable x will produce a decrease in the variable y. In the dispersion diagram the points will be grouped, simulating a negative slope line.

In the diagram shown it can be noted that as the variable x increases the variable y decreases.

Therefore it can be concluded that the correlation between x and y is negative. The correct option is option A

Frank purchased a new ice box having 2kg capacity. He wants it to be full with ice cubes. He measured the ice cubes to be 3.5 cm

salantis [7]

Answer:

Frank can put 5 cubes in the box.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula:

Mass = Volume × density.

1 cubic centimetre = 0.001 liter= 1 millilitre

Given that,

Frank purchase a new ice box having 2 kg capacity.

So,the mass of the cubes is 2 kg.

Each ice cubes measured 3.5 cm by 3.5 cm by 3.5 cm.

The volume of a cube is = $Side ^3$

The volume of a each ice cubes is = $3.5^3$ cm³

= 42.875 ml

The ice cubes have a density of 0.914 g/ml

The mass of each cubes are

=volume of each ice cubes × density

=42.875 ml ×0.914 g/ml

=39.18775 gram.

Let x number of ice cubes he can put in the box.

The mass of x cubes is = 39.18775x grams.

2 kg= 2,000 gram [ since 1 kg= 1000 gram]

According to the problem,

39.18775x=2,000

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{2000}{39.18775}$

$\Rightarrow x\approx 51$

Frank can put 5 cubes in the box.

A camp counselor starts from home and drives to a campground. The expression 130−60t represents the distance, in miles, the coun

telo118 [61]

Answer:

The value 60 represents the speed of the vehicle the counselor is driving.

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear Function

The linear relationship between two variables d and t can be written in the form

$d=mt+b$

Where m is the slope (or rate of change of d with respect to t) and b is the y-intercept or the point where the graph of the line crosses the y-axis

The function provided in our problem is

$d=130-60t$

Where d is the distance in miles the counselor still needs to drive after t hours. Rearranging the expression:

$d=-60t+130$

Comparing with the general form of the line we can say m=-60, b=130. The value of -60 is the slope or the rate of change of d with respect to t. Since we are dealing with d as a function of time, that value represents the speed of the vehicle the counselor is driving. It's negative because the distance left to drive decreases as the time increases
