780, or C, is correct. Since 9.75 is 1/80th of the actual measurement, we can set up an equation like this:

9.75 = 1/80x

Then multiply each side by 80:

780 = x

The actual building's height is 780 ft.

We can check this answer by plugging in 780 for x in the original equation:

9.75 = 1/80(780)

9.75 = 9.75

Suppose the correlation between height and weight for adults is +0.40. What proportion (or percent) of the variability in weight

Schach [20]

Answer:

We are given the correlation between height and weight for adults is 0.40.

We need to find the proportion of the variability in weight that can be explained by the relationship with height.

We know that coefficient of determination or R-square measures the proportion or percent of variability in dependent variable that can be explained by the relationship with independent variable. There the coefficient of determination is given below:

$R^{2}=r^{2}=0.40^{2}=0.16$
