A strong positive correlation.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question requires you to calculate the correlation coefficient and then make a conclusion about its value.
Form a table as shown where x is cost of items and y is shipping cost
x y xy x² y²
25 5.99 149.8 625 35.9
45 8.99 404.6 2025 80.8
50 8.99 449.5 2500 80.8
70 10.99 769.3 4900 120.8
190 34.96 1773.2 10050 318.3 ------sum
The formula for correlation coefficient follows;
r=n(∑xy)-(∑x)(∑y) ÷ √{[n∑x²-(x)²] [n∑y²-(y)²]}
where n=4
r=4(1773.2)-(190)(34.96) ÷ √{[4(10050)-190²] [4(318.3)-34.96²]}
r=450÷ √{4100*51)
r=450÷√209100
r=450÷457.3
r=0.98409
The value of r indicates a stronger positive correlation

Answer:
It is most-likely a red marble
Step-by-step explanation:
I say it is a red marble because as you said, there are 10 red marbles and 6 blue ones and since there are 4 more red marbles, there is a higher perchentage of it being a red marble . (I hope i answered your question)
- 6 - (-2)
- (-2) = 2
* two negatives = one positive
-6 + 2 = -4
-4 is your answer
hope this helps
