The answer is x=20. Hope this helps.
Answer:
The condition for r is the following:
And for this case if we analyze the options the only impossible value is given by:
1.0528
Because this value is higher than 1 and not satisfy the general limits for r
Step-by-step explanation:
The correlation coefficient is a measure of dispersion and is a value between -1 and 1, and is defined as:
![r=\frac{n(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2 -(\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2 -(\sum y)^2]}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=r%3D%5Cfrac%7Bn%28%5Csum%20xy%29-%28%5Csum%20x%29%28%5Csum%20y%29%7D%7B%5Csqrt%7B%5Bn%5Csum%20x%5E2%20-%28%5Csum%20x%29%5E2%5D%5Bn%5Csum%20y%5E2%20-%28%5Csum%20y%29%5E2%5D%7D%7D)

The limit does not exist. Why? Because the left hand limit DOES NOT equal the right hand limit. Let’s double check:
We could use -0.000001 to represent the left hand limit. This is less than 0. We plug in 5x - 8
5(-0.000001) - 8
-0.000005 - 8
-8.000005
If we would continue the limit (extend the zeros to infinity), we would get exactly
-8
That is our left hand limit.
Our right hand limit will be represented by 0.000001. This is greater than 0. We plug in abs(-4 - x)
abs(-4 - (0.000001))
abs(-4.000001)
4.000001
If we would continue the limit (extend the zeros to infinity), we would get exactly
4
4 does not equal -8, therefore
The limit does not exist
18 feet = 18/3 yard = 6 yard
6 inches = 1/2 feet = 1/6 yard
Volumen = (6yar)(6yard)(1/6yard) = 6 cubic yard
Cost = 6 cubic yard * $42.00 / cubic yard = $ 252.00
Answer: the first option, 252.00
