Answer:

Option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Correlation coefficients tell us how strongly the two variables are associated.

A positive correlation is a relation when both the variables move together in the same direction. Like if value of first increases the other also increases.

When the correlation coefficient is greater than 0, this means that both variables are correlated.

So, the answer here will be :

A. There is a linear relationship between the variables, and whenever the value of one variable increases, the value of the other variable increases.

A high school student took two college entrance exams, scoring 1070 on the SAT and 25 on the ACT. Suppose that SAT scores have a

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Due to the higher z-score, he did better on the SAT.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Determine which test the student did better on.

He did better on whichever test he had the higher z-score.

SAT:

Scored 1070, so $X = 1070$

SAT scores have a mean of 950 and a standard deviation of 155. This means that $\mu = 950, \sigma = 155$ .

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{1070 - 950}{155}$

$Z = 0.77$

ACT:

Scored 25, so $X = 25$

ACT scores have a mean of 22 and a standard deviation of 4. This means that $\mu = 22, \sigma = 4$

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{25 - 22}{4}$

$Z = 0.75$

Due to the higher z-score, he did better on the SAT.

How to write the ratio 8:30 as a fraction in simplest form

omeli [17]

4/15 because you make it into a fraction: 8/30, you find the GCF which is 2, so then you divide both the numerator and denominator by 2 and get 4/15 at it's simplest term

Consider this equation. 7.8+2(0.75m+0.4)=-6.4m+4(0.5m-0.8) Mia solved the equation and determined that m=2. Is she correct?

IgorC [24]

Answer:

B) She is incorrect because when substituting 2 for m the result was a false statement.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve it for ourselves and see if Mia is correct:

7.8+2(0.75m+0.4)=-6.4m+4(0.5m-0.8)

7.8+1.5m+0.8=-6.4m+2m-3.2

1.5m+8.6=-4.4m-3.2

8.6=-5.9m-3.2

11.8=-5.9m

-2=m

m=-2

Since the answer is actually m=-2, Mia's guess is incorrect because plugging in m=2 does not make both sides equal. Therefore B is the correct option.
