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.

Evaluate each expression if a = 6, b = 3, and c = 2.
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

a = 6, b = 3, and c = 2

1. ab1 = 6 × 3 × 1 = 18

2. c + 42 = 2 + 42 = 44

3. 18 = 18

4. a − b4  = 6 - 3(4) = 6 - 12 = - 6

5. 2c3 = 2 × 2 × 3 = 12

6. b ÷ 35 = 3÷35 = 0.086

7. a − 1 6 =  6 - 16 = -10

8. 6 + c8 = 6 + 2 (8) = 6 + 16 = 22
