Answer:

The coefficient of correlation does not change.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

The daily intake food is measured in ounces.

The body weight is measured in pounds.

Correlation between food intake and body weight = 0.80

Properties of correlation:

  • Correlation is a technique that help us to find or define a relationship between two variables.
  • It is a measure of linear relationship between two quantities.
  • The correlation between two variables is not effected by the units of the variable.
  • Even if the variable of the explanatory variable or the response variable changes, the correlation does not not change and remains same.

Conclusion:

A shift in units from ounces to grams and from pounds to kilogram does not change the value of coefficient of correlation.

Which of the following are factors of x^2+5x+4
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

(x + 4) and (x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 5x + 4

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 4) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 5)

The factors are 4 and 1 , since

4 × 1 = 4 and 4 + 1 = 5 , then

x² + 5x + 4 = (x + 4)(x + 1) ← in factored form

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

The volume of the cart will be 24 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we need to calculate for this question is the number of boxes that fill the entire cart.

A layer of boxes consists of 8 boxes.

The cart holds a maximum of 3 layers of boxes.

So, the total number of boxes held by the cart are:

Total boxes = number of layers * boxes per layer

Total boxes = 3 * 8

Total boxes = 24

Since each box has a volume of one cubic foot, the total volume of the cart will be:

Volume of cart = number of boxes * volume of each box

Volume of cart = 24 * 1

Volume of cart = 24 ft^3

eduard
Answer

Rebecca has 76 comic books
Maurice has 54 comic books

Step-by-step

Since there are 54 fewer comics and together they have 130 comics, you should subtract 54 from 130. Once you do that your answer will be 76; and that is how many comics Rebecca has. And 76+54=130 so Maurice has 54 comics
