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).

Which point is a solution to the system of linear equations?
Sloan [31]

The ordered pair which is a solution to the system of linear equations is: A. (3, 0).

<h3>How to determine the solution?</h3>

In order to determine a solution to the system of linear equations, we would have to test the given ordered pairs by substituting their values into the linear equations as follows;

For ordered pair (3, 0), we have:

y = −x + 3

0 = -3 + 3

0 = 0 (True).

2x − y = 6

2(3) - 0 = 6

6 - 0 = 6

6 = 6 (True).

For ordered pair (3, -1), we have:

y = −x + 3

-1 = -3 + 3

-1 = 0 (False).

For ordered pair (0, 3), we have:

y = −x + 3

3 = 0 + 3

3 = 3 (True).

2x − y = 6

2(0) - 3 = 6

0 - 3 = 6

-3 = 6 (False).

For ordered pair (-1, 3), we have:

y = −x + 3

3 = -1 + 3

3 = 2 (False).

collen family plans to paint the window of their house. her father will paint twice as many window as her mother, and collen and
saw5 [17]

Answer:

21 windows

Step-by-step explanation:

colleen's family plans to paint the windows of their house. her father will paint twice as many windows as her mother, and Colleen and her 2 brothers will paint an equal number of the rest of the windows. Colleen decided to do her own share and her mother's share and paints 7 window, which is one less than her father's share. how many windows are in their house?

Answer: Let the number of window Colleen father would paint be x while that of her mother be y. Since her father will paint twice as many window as her mother, therefore the number of windows painted by the father x = 2y

Let the number of windows each painted by Colleen and her 2 brothers be z since they would paint the same number of windows. The total number of windows to be painted = 2y + y + z + z + z = 3y + 3z = 3(y + z).

Then number of windows needed to be painted by Colleen and her mother is given as z + y. Since Colleen painted 7 windows as her share and her mother share i.e. y + z = 7

Therefore the total number of windows = 3(y + z) = 3(7) = 21 windows

Find the length of side x in simplest radical form with a rational denominator.
OLEGan [10]
Answer: x = 2 sqrt(3)

Explanation:

x = 6/sqrt(3)

Rationalize denominator

x = 6 x sqrt(3)/sqrt(3) x sqrt(3)
x = 6 sqrt(3)/3
x = 2 sqrt(3)
