Given:

Consider the discount percent and SP are given.

To find:

The MP.

Solution:

Let x% be the discount percent Then

$SP=MP-x\%\text{ of }MP$

$SP=MP-\dfrac{x}{100}MP$

$SP=\left(1-\dfrac{x}{100}\right)MP$

$SP=\left(\dfrac{100-x}{100}\right)MP$

Multiply both sides by 100.

$100SP=(100-x)MP$

Divide both sides by $(100-x)$ .

$\dfrac{100}{100-x}SP=MP$

Therefore, the formula for MP is $MP=\dfrac{100}{100-x}SP$ , where x is the discount percentage.

5. Rounded to three decimal places, what is the value of r for this data set?

IrinaVladis [17]

The value of correlation coefficient (r) for the dataset is 0.981

<h3>What is correlation coefficient (r)?</h3>

The correlation coefficient (r) is used to determine the closeness and association of a scatter plot points.

The dataset is given as:

x: 8 15 3 7 2 14
y: 15 21 6 12 3 20

Using a graphing calculator, we have the following parameters:

<h3>X Values </h3>

∑x = 49
Mean = 8.167
∑(X - Mx)2 = SSx = 146.833

<h3>Y Values </h3>

∑y = 77
Mean = 12.833
∑(Y - My)2 = SSy = 266.833

<h3>X and Y Combined </h3>

N = 6
∑(X - Mx)(Y - My) = 194.167

The correlation coefficient (r) is then calculated as:

$r = \frac{\sum{((x - My)(Y - Mx)) }}{ \sqrt{((SSx)(SSy))}}$

This gives

$r = \frac{194.167 }{ \sqrt{((146.833)(266.833))}}\\$

$r = 0.9809$

Approximate

$r = 0.981$

Hence, the value of correlation coefficient (r) for the dataset is 0.981
