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.

Kalea throws a baseball directly upward at time t = 0 at an initial speed of 13.7 m/s. How high h does the ball rise above its r
Trava [24]

Answer:

h = 9.57 seconds

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial speed of Kalea, u = 13.7 m/s

At maximum height, v = 0

Let t is the time taken by the ball to reach its maximum point. It cane be calculated as :

v=u-gt

u=gt

t=\dfrac{u}{g}

t=\dfrac{13.7}{9.8}

t = 1.39 s

Let h is the height reached by the ball above its release point. It can be calculated using second equation of motion as :

h=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Here, a = -g

h=ut-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

h=13.7\times 1.39-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times (1.39)^2

h = 9.57 meters

So, the height attained by the ball above its release point is 9.57 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

Picking up sound waves is the stage of listening that most people refer to as what?
kirill [66]

A. Picking up sound waves is the stage of listening that most people refer to as hearing.

<h3>What is hearing?</h3>

Hearing, or auditory perception, is the ability to perceive sounds through an organ, such as an ear, by detecting vibrations as periodic changes in the pressure of a surrounding medium.

During learning process, when someone picks up the sound waves directed to him/her, it is known as the act of hearing,

Thus, picking up sound waves is the stage of listening that most people refer to as hearing.

Atmospheric pressure varies from day to day. The level of a floating ship on a high-pressure day is (a) higher (b) lower, or (c)
frez [133]

Answer:

(c) no different than on a low-pressure day.

Explanation:

The force acting on the ship when it floats in water is the buoyant force. According to the Archimedes' principle: The magnitude of buoyant force acting on the body of the object is equal to the volume displaced by the object.

Thus, Buoyant forces are a volume phenomenon and is determined by the volume of the fluid displaced.  

<u>Whether it is a high pressure day or a low pressure day, the level of the floating ship is unaffected because the increased or decreased pressure at the all the points of the water and the ship and there will be no change in the volume of the water displaced by the ship.</u>

How many planets are there?
beks73 [17]
Hi there!

Assuming you're asking about the solar system, there are nine planets. But, if you're wanting to know about the universe, there are trillions and trillions of planets (most of which we haven't yet discovered). 

Hope this helps!
