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.

Complete the tables to determine if the expressions are equivalent. If the expressions are equivalent, name the properties that
jok3333 [9.3K]
I don’t know how to necessarily complete the tables but i know they are equivalent

1. 3(x-5)
3 (x) = 3x
3 (-5) = -15

that is the distributive property thus it equals

3x - 15

2. 3x - 15

they’re the same

PLEASE HELP ME!
sattari [20]

You want to know how long it'll take for the bacteria to grow
to (800/500) = 1.6 times their initial population.

The number of double-times it'll take is 

                         [ log(1.6) / (log(2) ]  =  0.6781 .

The double-time for these particular critters is 12 hours,
so it'll take them

                             0.6781  x  12 hours  =  8.137 hours

                                                                =  8 hours  8.2 minutes .
