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.

Twenty-four students took a test. Fourteen students earned an A and 10 students earned a B. A student will be randomly chosen.
Alex_Xolod [135]
The probability of a student that earned an A on the test is 7/12.

To get a fraction like this, you put the number of students on the left, or the top and the number of students total on the right, or bottom. Then, you simplify your answer. This brings us to 7/12. You cannot simplify any further because the fraction includes a prime number.


I hope this helps!

The model represents an equation. What value of x makes the equation true?
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

A) 29/8

Step-by-step explanation:

On the left side of the equals sign, we have five x's and nine -1's.

On the right side of the equals sign, we have three -x's and twenty 1's.

Both sides are equal, so:

5(x) + 9(-1) = 3(-x) + 20(1)

5x − 9 = -3x + 20

Add 3x to both sides.

8x − 9 = 20

Add 9 to both sides.

8x = 29

Divide both sides by 8.

x = 29/8

Maurinko [17]

Answer: 792

Step-by-step explanation:

From what I got it should be 792 because it is asking for doubles, triples, and home runs all together at the same amount that he got on his first year.

It says after 12 years

Doubles 47 times 12 years = 564

Triples 4 times 12 years = 48

and

Home runs 15 times 12 years = 180

564 + 48 = 612

612 + 180 = 792
