Answer:

The answer is letter B, The water level in a bathtub as it drains over time.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is best to learn the meaning of "negative correlation" first.

Correlation- In Mathematics, "correlation" means a measure of the relationship between two variables.

Positive Correlation- when the values of the variables increase together.

Negative Correlation- when one value of a variable increases while the other variable's value decreases.

*The situation above is asking for a negative correlation, therefore the answer is letter B (The water level in a bathtub as it drains over time).

The variables are: water level and draining time

As the draining time increases, the water level in the bathtub decreases. This is clearly an example of a negative correlation.

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

78.88%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that

$\mu=25,\sigma=4,x_1=20,x_2=30$

The z-score formula is given by

$z-\text{score}=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

For $x_1=20$

$z_1=\frac{20-25}{4}\\\\z_1=-1.25$

For $x_2=30$

$z_2=\frac{30-25}{4}\\\\z_2=1.25$

Now, we find the corresponding probability from the standard z score table.

For the z score -1.25, we have the probability 0.1056

For the z score 1.25, we have the probability 0.8944

Therefore, the percent of the trees that are between 20 and 30 years old is given by

0.8944 - 0.1056

= 0.7888

=78.88%

What is the area of the shaded region and the circle inside?

$r=20,1m+13,2m=33,3m$
$A_1=\pi r^2$
$A_1=33,3^2\pi$
$A_1=1108,89\pi$

What is the area of the circle inside?

$A_2=20,1^2\pi$
$A_2=404,01\pi$

What is the area of the shaded region?

$1108,89\pi -404,01\pi =704,88\pi$
$704,88\pi \approx 704,88*3,14\approx 2213,3232\approx \underline{2213,32}$

The answer: 2213,32 :)
