A set of n = 15 pairs of scores (X and Y values) produces a correlation of r = 0.40. If each of the X values is multiplied by 2

and the correlation is computed for the new scores, what value will be obtained for the new correlation?a. r = 0.20b. r = 0.40c. r = 0.80 (my incorrect answer)d. cannot be determined without knowing all the X and Y scores

Answer:

r=0.4 (Same value)

Step-by-step explanation:

The correlation coefficient is unaffected by the scale of relation.

Correlation is a "statistical measure that indicates the extent to which two or more variables fluctuate together". And is always between -1 and 1. 1 indicates perfect linear relationship and -1 perfect inverse linear relationship. The formula for the correlation is given by:

0.4=r=\frac{b(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2 -(\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2-(\sum y)^2]}}

Applying this formula we got that the correlation coeffcient it's 0.4. Now if we multiply all the x values by 2 we have this:

r_f=\frac{2b(\sum xy)-2(\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{4[n\sum x^2 -(\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2-(\sum y)^2]}}

And symplyfing we see this:

r_f=2\frac{b(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{2\sqrt{[n\sum x^2 -(\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2-(\sum y)^2]}}

We can cancel the 2 on the numerator and denominator and we got the same formula equal to 0.4.

r_f=\frac{b(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2 -(\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2-(\sum y)^2]}}=0.4

So for this reason the correlation coefficient it's not affected by scale changes on the independent or dependent variables.

The equation for the line of best fit for a data set is y = 2x + 1.5. If the point (1, 4) is in the data set, what is the residu
andriy [413]
It is related to econometrics, however using simple algebraic logic we can solve this problem. General formula with residual is y=2x+1.5+r, where r is a residual. Plugging the pair into the formula, we obtain that 4=2*1+1.5+r and r=0.5

If f(x)=x²-6 x+2 and g(x)=-2x, find the following composition. (g ° f)(5)<br> (g ° f)(5)=
Elan Coil [88]

What the composite function in the question is actually trying to explain is;

  • (gof)(x)=g(f(5))

First of all, in the function F(x), we will find a result by writing 5 where we see the letter x.

  • F(5)=5^2-6(5)+2=-3

We will write this result in the G(x) function where we see the letter x and we will get the result.

  • G(-3)=-2(-3)=6
