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.

Write an equation of a line passing through the point (4,-9) and parallel to the line 3x-6y=30
sesenic [268]

The equation of a line in the slope intercept form is expressed as

y = mx + c

Where

m represents slope

c represents y intercept

The equation of the given line is expressed as

3x - 6y = 30

Rearranging it so that it will look like the slope intercept form, it becomes

6y = 3x - 30

Dividing both sides by 6, it becomes

6y/6 = 3x/6 - 30/6

y = x/2 - 5

Looking at the equation, slope, m = 1/2

If two lines are parallel, it means that they have equal slope. This means that the slope of the line parallel to the given line is 1/2

To determine the y intercept, c of the line passing through the point (4, - 9), we would substitute

x = 4, y = - 9 and m = 1/2 into the slope intercept equation. It becomes

- 9 = 1/2 * 4 + c

- 9 = 2 + c

c = - 9 - 2

c = - 11

By substtuting m = 1/2 and c = - 11 into the slope intercept equation, the equation of the line would be

y = x/2 - 11
