The correlation between the height and weight of children aged 6 to 9 is found to be about r = 0.8. Suppose we use the height x

of a child to predict the weight y of the child. We conclude that:
a. the least-squares regression line of y on x would have a slope of 0.8. about 80% of the time, age will accurately predict weight.
b. height is generally 80% of a child’s weight.
c. the fraction of variation in weights explained by the least-squares regression line of weight on height is 0.64.

Answer:

r=\frac{n(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2 -(\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2 -(\sum y)^2]}}

The value of r is always between -1 \leq r \leq 1

And we have another measure related to the correlation coefficient called the R square and this value measures the % of variance explained between the two variables of interest, and for this case we have:

r^2 = 0.8^2 = 0.64

So then the best conclusion for this case would be:

c. the fraction of variation in weights explained by the least-squares regression line of weight on height is 0.64.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we know that the correlation between the height and weight of children aged 6 to 9 is found to be about r = 0.8. And we know that we use the height x of a child to predict the weight y of the child

We need to rememeber that the correlation is a measure of dispersion of the data and is given by this formula:

r=\frac{n(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2 -(\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2 -(\sum y)^2]}}

The value of r is always between -1 \leq r \leq 1

And we have another measure related to the correlation coefficient called the R square and this value measures the % of variance explained between the two variables of interest, and for this case we have:

r^2 = 0.8^2 = 0.64

So then the best conclusion for this case would be:

c. the fraction of variation in weights explained by the least-squares regression line of weight on height is 0.64.

Quadrilateral STWR is inscribed inside a circle as shown below. Write a proof showing that angles T and R are supplementary.
AlladinOne [14]

Observe the given figure.

Here, angle T and R are the inscribed angles.

And sum of inscribed angles is half of measure of intercepted arcs.

Since, the measure of intercepted arcs is 360 degrees.

Therefore, \angle T + \angle R = \frac{1}{2} \times 360 ^{\circ}

\angle T + \angle R = 180 ^{\circ}

Hence, the sum of the two angles is 180 degrees.

Therefore, these are the supplementary angles.

Therefore, angle T and angle R are supplementary angles.

Hence, proved.

Jackie ordered a set of wood and metal clothes pins. Of the 276 pins, 172 were wood. What percentage of the clothes pins were me
timurjin [86]

We know that 172 of them were wood, so the rest are metal. To find that number we do:

276 - 172 = 104 metal pins.

To find the percentage that they were metal, take the number of metal pins and divide by the total number of pins:

104/276 is about 0.3768.

Multiply this by 100:

37.68

So, the percent of metal pins is 37.68%.
