f(1) = 4 is given

f(n) = f(n-1)-4 is the recursive step or rule

f(2) = f(2-1)-4 ... replace n with 2

f(2) = f(1) - 4

f(2) = 4-4 ... replace f(1) with 4

f(2) = 0

----------

Repeat for n = 3

f(n) = f(n-1)-4

f(3) = f(3-1)-4

f(3) = f(2) - 4

f(3) = 0 - 4 .... replace f(2) with 0, which is from f(2) = 0 found earlier

f(3) = -4

---------

Repeat for n = 4

f(n) = f(n-1)-4

f(4) = f(4-1)-4

f(4) = f(3) - 4

f(4) = -4-4 ... plug in f(3) = -4

f(4) = -8

<h3>Answer is   -8</h3>

Explain what each of the following sample correlation coefficients tells you about the relationship between the x and y values i
Alchen [17]

Answer: The description are as follows:

Step-by-step explanation:

Correlation coefficients is a statistical measure that measures the relationship between the two variables.

(a) r = 1, it means that there is a Perfect positive relationship between the two variables. If there is positive increase in one variable then other variable also increases with a fixed proportion.

(b) r = -1, it means that there is a perfect negative relationship between the two variables. If there is positive increase in one variable then other variable decreases with a fixed proportion.

(c) r = 0, this is a situation which shows that there is no relationship between the two variables.

(d) r = 0.86, this is a situation  which shows that there is a fairly strong positive relationship between the two variables.

(e) r = 0.06, it is nearly zero which represents that either there is a very minor positive relationship between the two variables or there is no relationship between them.

(f) r = -0.89,  this is a situation  which shows that there is a fairly strong negative relationship between the two variables.

Which of the following question is not considered a statistical question?
vekshin1

Answer:

B. How many total customers were at the story today?

Step-by-step explanation:

Option 'B' is not a statistical question because there is not more than one answer.

There is only one answer to this question.

Option 'A,' 'C,' and 'D' are statistical questions because there is more than one answer.

<em>What amounts did each person at the store spend on their purchase?</em>

This question has more than one answer.

<em>How long did each customer spend shopping at the store?</em>

<em>What are the heights of each customer who entered the store?</em>

These questions have more than one answer as well.

Statistical questions are questions that have more than one answer. This means you can collect data.

I, therefore, believe that option 'B' is not a statistical question.
