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).

Identify the center and radius of a circle with equation (x+4)^2+(y-2)^2=36
Kitty [74]
In the equation of a circle in the form (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2, (h,k) is the center and r is the radius.

So, the center of the circle is at (-4,2) with radius 6 units.

Given the demand equation 6x+p-50=0 and the supply equation 6x-p+14=0 where p is the unit price in dollars and x represents the
Katarina [22]

Answer:

The equilibrium quanity and equilibrium price is 3 Thousand units and 32 dollars respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Market equilibrium occurs in those markets in which the quantity demanded by consumers equals the quantity supplied by firms. In this state, the equilibrium point has its corresponding equilibrium quantity and price. That is, the equilibrium point is that point where, for a given price, the quantity supplied is equal to the quantity demanded.

The supply and demand curves represent the quantities that consumers are willing to buy and producers are willing to sell at that price respectively.

Being:

  • demand equation: 6x+p-50=0 ⇒ 6x= 50 - p ⇒ x=\frac{50 - p}{6}
  • the supply equation 6x-p+14=0 ⇒ 6x= p - 14 ⇒ x=\frac{p-14}{6}

Since when the market reaches equilibrium, the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied and x representing the quantity demanded in units of thousand, then:

\frac{50 - p}{6}=\frac{p-14}{6}

Solving, you get:

6*\frac{50 - p}{6}=p-14

50 - p= p -14

50 - p +14 = p

50 +14= p + p

64= 2*p

p=\frac{64}{2}

P=32 dollars

This value is the equilibrium price. Replacing this value in the demand and supply equation, the equilibrium quantity is obtained, which should be the same for both cases:

  • demand equation:  x=\frac{50 - 32}{6} ⇒ x= 3 Thousand units
  • the supply equation  x=\frac{32-14}{6} ⇒ x=3 Thousand units

So, <u><em>the equilibrium quanity and equilibrium price is 3 Thousand units and 32 dollars respectively.</em></u>

In its graphical representation, the equilibrium point can be seen as that point where the supply and demand curves intersect. You can see this in the attached image, where the blue line represents the supply and the red line the demand.
