Answer:

  • <u><em>B. −0.72</em></u>

Explanation:

The <em>correlation coefficient</em> is a measure of the linear association between two variables.

It is a dimensionless value bettween - 1 and +1. Hence, it does not depend on the units that are used to measure the data.

You can see the formula to calculate the correlation coefficient in the attached picture.

There you see that the numerator containts the sum of the differences of the values of the x-variable with its the mean, multiplied by the sum of the differences of the values of the y variable with its mean, while the denominator contains the square root of the product of the squares of the same differences, thus the units are canceled.

In conclusion,<em> If the teacher changes the units of each variable from hours to minutes, the value of the correlation coefficient between minutes studying and minutes spent on the Internet will not change</em>; it will continue being <em>−0.72.</em>

B. is slightly crooked when pressing the pedals

Body positioning while driving is to maximize control over your vehicle, comfort, and ensure that you don't suffer from back pain due to incorrect sitting posture.  

To do this, make sure your bottom is firmly touching the back of the seat. Your seat should be raised high to give yourself maximum visibility and pulled back only enough, so that your knee is still slightly crooked when pressing down on the pedals.

Let me emphasize that you must make sure your seat is pulled far enough forward, so you can fully press the accelerator and the brake pedal, while still having a slight bend in the knee.

Answer:

1775–1830

U.S. Indian policy during the American Revolution was disorganized and largely unsuccessful. At the outbreak of the war, the Continental Congress hastily recruited Indian agents. Charged with securing alliances with Native peoples, these agents failed more often than they succeeded. They faced at least three difficulties. First, they had less experience with Native Americans than did the long-standing Indian agents of the British Empire. Second, although U.S. agents assured Indians that the rebellious colonies would continue to carry on the trade in deerskins and beaver pelts, the disruptions of the war made regular commerce almost impossible. Britain, by contrast, had the commercial power to deliver trade goods on a more regular basis. And third, many Indians associated the rebellious colonies with aggressive white colonists who lived along the frontier. Britain was willing to sacrifice these colonists in the interests of the broader empire (as it had done in the Proclamation of 1763), but for the colonies, visions of empire rested solely on neighboring Indian lands. Unable to secure broad alliances with Indian peoples, U.S. Indian policy during the Revolution remained haphazard, formed by local officials in response to local affairs.
