Answer:

The best estimate of the correlation coefficient is 0.9 from the given data.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the scatter plot, the line of best fit will have a positive slope.

So, the correlation coefficient , $\rho$ is greater than 0.

so, $\rho$ ≠ - 0.9

Also, there is a deviation from absolute linearity.

So, $\rho$ ≠ 1

Again from the scatter plot it is closer to linearity than further.

Hence, $\rho$ ≠ 0.3 .

So $\rho$ = 0.9

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2.25m + 2(2.25m) + 90 cm =

2.25m + 4.50m + 90 cm

6.75m + 90 cm

1 cm = 0.01m...so 90 cm = 90 * 0.01 = 0.9m

6.75m + 0.9m = 7.65m <===

qaws [65]

This can be solved using the system of equations:

5500 = 1000c + 1500s
5 = c + s

As the first equation can have different combinations, it is the second equation that defines just how much acres or corn or strawberries(or mathematically, it defines the values of c or s in the first equation) there are. Therefore, the equation " 5 = c + s" is the constraint.

Finger [1]

Answer: The director can choose first a lead singer and then a stand-in for the lead singer in 132 ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The total number of singers auditioning for the school musical.= 12

The director wanted choose first a lead singer and then a stand-in for the lead singer.

We use Permutations here because order of selecting the singers matters.

The number of permutations of selecting r things out of n things = $^nP_r=\dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!}$
