The following data contains​ coaches' salaries and team revenues​ (in millions of​ dollars) for ten college basketball teams. Us

e these data to complete parts​ (a) through​(c).
Salary 0.4 0.8 1.4 1.3 1.2 1.9 0.5 0.9 1.5 0.6

Revenue 4.9 7.5 17.2 18.2 11.5 13.6 8.0 6.0 18.0 8.2

a. Compute the covariance.

b. Compute the coefficient of correlation.

c. What conclusions can you reach about the relationship between a​ coach's salary and​ revenue?

A.There is a strong positive relationship between a​ coach's salary and revenue. As a​ coach's salary​ increases, revenue always increases.

B.There is a moderate positive relationship between a​ coach's salary and revenue. As a​ coach's salary​ increases, revenue tends to increase.

C. There is a slight relationship between a​ coach's salary and revenue. Increases in a​ coach's salary cause increases in revenue.

D.There is no relationship between a​ coach's salary and revenue.

Answer:

(a) The covariance is 179.05.

(b) The coefficient of correlation between the coach's salary and revenue is 0.7947.

(c) The correct option is (A).

Step-by-step explanation:

The correlation coefficient is a statistical degree that computes the strength of the linear relationship amid the relative movements of the two variables (i.e. dependent and independent).It ranges from -1 to +1.

The formula to compute correlation between two variables <em>X</em> and <em>Y</em> is:

r(X,Y)=\frac{Cov(X, Y)}{\sqrt{V(X).V(Y)}}

The formula to compute covariance is:

Cov(X, Y)=n\cdot\sum{XY} - \sum{X}\cdot\sum{Y}

The formula to compute the variances are:

V(X)=n \sum{X^2}-\left(\sum{X}\right)^2\right\\V(Y)=n \sum{Y^2}-\left(\sum{Y}\right)^2\right

Let, <em>X</em> = Salary  and <em>Y</em> = Revenue.

(a)

Consider the table attached below.

Compute the covariance as follows:

Cov(X, Y)=n\cdot\sum{XY} - \sum{X}\cdot\sum{Y}

                 =(10\times 136.66)-(10.5\times 113.1)\\=1366.6-1187.55\\=179.05

Thus, the covariance is 179.05.

(b)

Compute the variance of <em>X</em> and <em>Y</em> as follows:

V(X)=n \sum{X^2}-\left(\sum{X}\right)^2\right

         =(10\times 13.17)-(10.5)^{2}\\=21.45

V(Y)=n \sum{Y^2}-\left(\sum{Y}\right)^2\right

         =(10\times 1515.79)-(113.1)^{2}\\=2366.29

Compute the correlation coefficient as follows:

r(X,Y)=\frac{Cov(X, Y)}{\sqrt{V(X).V(Y)}}

            =\frac{179.05}{\sqrt{21.45\times 2366.29}}

            =0.7947

Thus, the coefficient of correlation between the coach's salary and revenue is 0.7947.

(c)

Positive correlation is an association amid two variables in which both variables change in the same direction.  

A positive correlation occurs when one variable declines as the other variable declines, or one variable escalates while the other escalates.

A correlation coefficient value between 0.70 to 1.00 is considered as a strong positive relation between the two variables.

The correlation between the coach's salary and revenue is 0.7947. This is implies that there was a strong positive relationship between a​ coach's salary and revenue, i.e. an increase in the salary would have resulted as an increase in the revenue.

Thus, the correct option is (A).

A circle has its center at (0,0) and passes through the point (0,9). What is the standard equation of the circle?
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

x^2+y^2=9^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard equation of a circle is:

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2

Where the center of a circle is (h,k) and r is the radius of the circle.  In this case because a circle is equidistant from the center and we have a point where it passes through 9 that means that the radius is 9.  However, since the standard equation states that we must write r in the form of r^2 this means that r^2=9^2.  Therefore by plugging in the values we have:

(x-0)^2+(y-0)^2=9^2\\\\x^2+y^2=9^2

Find the total surface area of the triangular prism
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

1,008\:\mathrm{cm^2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The total surface area of this triangular prism consists of three rectangles and two triangles. Adding the areas of each of these shapes allows us to find the total surface area of this 3D figure:

Area of both triangles:

2\cdot \frac{1}{2}\cdot12\cdot 14=168\:\mathrm{cm^2}

Area of all three rectangles:

15\cdot 20 +13\cdot 20+14\cdot 20=840\:\mathrm{cm^2}

Therefore, the total surface area of this figure is:

840+160=\fbox{$1,008\:\mathrm{cm^2}$} \: \checkmark
