Answer: -0.99

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given picture, it can be seen that there is a strong negative correlation between the variables.

i.e. the value of correlation coefficient must be negative.

The value of strong correlation coefficient r, lies between the absolute value of 0.75 to 1.

From all the given options -0.99 has the nearest value to the absolute value of 1.

Therefore, the best estimate of the correlation coefficient for the variables in the scatter plot = -0.99

I believe this would be -.99. Correlation typically goes from -1 to 1 with 0 being no correlation whatsoever. Since this has such a strong negative slope, it would need to be as close to -1 as possible.

How would the expression x^3+64 be rewritten using sum off cubes

Mamont248 [21]

$\bf \textit{difference of cubes}
\\ \quad \\
a^3+b^3 = (a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2)\qquad
(a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2)= a^3+b^3 \\ \quad \\
a^3-b^3 = (a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2)\qquad
(a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2)= a^3-b^3\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\boxed{64=4^3}\qquad x^3+64\implies x^3+4^3\implies (x+4)(x^2-x4+4^2)
\\\\\\
(x+4)(x^2-4x+16)$

Which of the following groups of terms can be used interchangeably when working with normal distributions?

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is D) areas, probability, and relative frequencies

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because each of these terms refers to an amount of space surrounding the mean on the normal distribution curve. Each of them let's us know how likely a spot is to have a value within it.

The z-score would not fit this as it identifies the value and how far away a single spot on the graph would be.
