Two students conduct a study to investigate the relationship between forearm length and height. Maria measures the subjects in c

entimeters. In a scatterplot of the data she sees a linear relationship between the variables, so she calculates the correlation coefficient. She determines that r = 0.86. John measures the same subjects in inches. He also calculates the correlation coefficient. What do you expect the correlation will be for John’s measurements?

Answer:

r = 0.86

Explanation:

Correlation coefficients are the strength of the relationship between two variables.

Correlations can indicate anywhere between

  • 1 - for a strong positive relationship.
  • -1 - for a strong negative relationship.
  • 0 - for no relationship at all.

Looking at sample correlation coefficient formula which says

r_{xy} = S_{xy} ÷ (S_{x} × S_{y})

where S_{x} and S_{y} are the sample deviations and S_{xy} is the sample covariance, all of which will remain the same for Maria and John.

Hence, John's correlation will be approximately 0.86 since he would have approximately the same measurement as Maria's measurement when Maria's measurement is converted from centimeters to inches.

NISA [10]

The first step that  Enrique must take in order to calculate the tangential speed of the satellite is to convert the period from days to seconds.

We know that the SI unit of speed is meter per second and now, we with to obtain the tangential speed of the satellite.

Since the period is given in days, the first step is to convert the period from days to seconds.

Answer:

A) Spherically symmetric about a point in the constellation Sagittarius and concentrated in that direction

Explanation:

The globular clusters are present mainly in the direction of Sagittarius with the center of the system of globular cluster being measured as a spherical cluster cloud such that the center of the Milky Way can be taken as being in the Sagittarius constellation

Two of the three tuning forks have known frequencies. When a 610 Hz fork and the unknown fork are struck together, four beats pe
RUDIKE [14]

-- In combination with 610 Hz, the beat frequency is 4 Hz.

So the unknown frequency is either (610+4) = 614 Hz
or else (610-4) = 606 Hz.

In combination with 605 Hz, the beat frequency will be
either (614-605) = 9 Hz or else (606-605) = 1 Hz.

-- In actuality, when combined with the 605 Hz, the beat
frequency is too high to count accurately.  That must be
the 9 Hz rather than the 1 Hz.

So the unknown is (605+9) = 614 Hz.
