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.

Suppose a triangle has two sides of length 32 and 35, and that the angle
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The third side is around 58.043

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the law of cosines:  c^2=a^2+b^2-2abcos(C)

Plug in the two sides we know (into a and b) and the angle we know (into angle C).

Thus:

c^2=32^2+35^2-2(32)(35)cos(120)

Use a calculator:

c^2=3369\\

c=58.043087...

(Note: Make sure you're in Degrees mode.)

(10 pts) (a) (2 pts) What is the difference between an ordinary differential equation and an initial value problem? (b) (2 pts)
laiz [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(A) The difference between an ordinary differential equation and an initial value problem is that an initial value problem is a differential equation which has condition(s) for optimization, such as a given value of the function at some point in the domain.

(B) The difference between a particular solution and a general solution to an equation is that a particular solution is any specific figure that can satisfy the equation while a general solution is a statement that comprises all particular solutions of the equation.

(C) Example of a second order linear ODE:

M(t)Y"(t) + N(t)Y'(t) + O(t)Y(t) = K(t)

The equation will be homogeneous if K(t)=0 and heterogeneous if K(t)\neq 0

Example of a second order nonlinear ODE:

Y=-3K(Y){2}

(D) Example of a nonlinear fourth order ODE:

K^4(x) - \beta f [x, k(x)] = 0

Raymond just got done jumping at Super Bounce Trampoline Center. The total cost of his session was $43.25dollar sign, 43, point,
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

The equation that represents the money he spent by the time he was on the trampoline is "total amount = 7 + 1.25*x" and on that day he spent 29 minutes on the trampoline.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete, but we can assume that the problems wants us to determine an equation for the time in minutes that Raymond spent on the Super Bounce.

In order to write this equation we will attribute a variable to the amount of time Raymond spent on the trampoline, this will be called "x". There were two kinds of fees to ride the trampoline, the first one was a fixed fee of $7 while the second one was a variable fee of $ 1.25 per minnute spent playing. So we have:

total amount = 7 + 1.25*x

Since he spent a total of $43.25 on that day we have:

1.25*x + 7 = 43.25

1.25*x = 43.25 - 7

1.25*x = 36.25

x = 36.25/1.25 = 29 minutes

The equation that represents the money he spent by the time he was on the trampoline is "total amount = 7 + 1.25*x" and on that day he spent 29 minutes on the trampoline.
