Answer:
The correlation coefficient of the data is 0.8679.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula to compute the correlation coefficient is:

From the data provided compute the values of ∑ XY, ∑ X, ∑ Y, ∑ X² and ∑ Y².
The values are computed in the table below.
Compute the correlation coefficient as follows:

Thus, the correlation coefficient of the data is 0.8679.
I believe it would be option A 0.85, I do know C & D do equal so either A or B would be the answer of not equaling
True, as 93 divided by 3 is 31; a whole number :)
G = number of girls taking the martial arts classes
and
B = number of boys taking the martial arts classes
We know that for every girl, there are 3 boys. Therefore, the proportion of girls to boys is:

=

When you simplify this ratio by cross-multiplying you get:
3G = B
When you think about this, it makes sense because you know that there are 3 times as many boys as there are girls. Therefore you would need to multiply the number of girls by 3 to equal the number of boys in the class.
We know that there are 236 total people in the class, Therefore we know that:
G + B = 236
You can replace the B in the equation above with your simplified ratio to solve, since both contain the variable B:
G + B = 236
is the same as
G + 3G = 236 ->
4G = 236 ->
G = 59
So there are 59 girls in the class, but you need to figure out the number of boys, not girls. Therefore, subtract 59 from 236 to get to the final answer:
G + B = 236
59 + B = 236
59 + B - 59 = 236 - 59
B = 177
