Answer: 35 sweets

Step-by-step explanation:

2:5:2= 9

peter= 2/9 x a= 14

it then turns to

9/2 x 14= 63

so bridget will get:

5/9 x 63

35 sweets

The number of motor vehicles registered in millions in the US has grown as follows:

zysi [14]

Answer:

a) Figure attached

b) $r=\frac{n(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2 -(\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2 -(\sum y)^2]}}$

For our case we have this:

n=10 $\sum x = 75.819, \sum y = 43.5231, \sum xy = 330.0321, \sum x^2 =574.8598, \sum y^2 =192.8274$

$r=\frac{10(330.0321)-(75.81948)(43.5231)}{\sqrt{[10(574.8598) -(75.819)^2][10(192.8274) -(43.5231)^2]}}=0.989$

So then the correlation coefficient would be r =0.989

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The correlation coefficient is a "statistical measure that calculates the strength of the relationship between the relative movements of two variables". It's denoted by r and its always between -1 and 1.

Solution to the problem

Part a

Year (x): 1940, 1945 1950, 1955, 1960, 1965, 1970, 1975, 1980, 1985

Vehicles (Y): 32.4, 31.0, 49.2, 62.7, 73.9, 90.4, 108.4, 132.9, 155.8, 171.7

After apply natural log for the two variables and create the scatterplot in excel we got the following result on the figure attached.

Part b

And in order to calculate the correlation coefficient we can use this formula:

$r=\frac{n(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2 -(\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2 -(\sum y)^2]}}$

For our case we have this:

n=10 $\sum x = 75.819, \sum y = 43.5231, \sum xy = 330.0321, \sum x^2 =574.8598, \sum y^2 =192.8274$

$r=\frac{10(330.0321)-(75.81948)(43.5231)}{\sqrt{[10(574.8598) -(75.81948)^2][10(192.8274) -(43.5231)^2]}}=0.989$

So then the correlation coefficient would be r =0.989

If you have $65 to spend at a concert and you already spend $32.25 on a ticket and fee. What is the maximum number of shirts he

Marrrta [24]

The maximum number of shirts I can buy is 2.

14.50 x 2 = 29
14.50 x 3 = 43.5

Two shirts cost 29 dollars, and 3 shirts cost 43.5 dollars. Since $43.5 is higher than the money I currently have, I can only buy 2 shirts.
