Answer:

Let's assume the following data:

Price in Dollars (X) 26 29 32 38 47

Number of Bids (Y) 12 13 15 16 18

For our case we have this:

n=10 \sum x = 172, \sum y = 74, \sum xy = 2623, \sum x^2 =6194, \sum y^2 =1118  

r=\frac{5(2623)-(172)(74)}{\sqrt{[5(6194) -(172)^2][5(1118) -(74)^2]}}=0.974  

So then the correlation coefficient would be r =0.974

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The correlation coefficient is a "statistical measure that calculates the strength of the relationship between the relative movements of two variables". It's denoted by r and its always between -1 and 1.

Solution to the problem

And in order to calculate the correlation coefficient we can use 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]}}  

Let's assume the following data

Price in Dollars (X) 26 29 32 38 47

Number of Bids (Y) 12 13 15 16 18

For our case we have this:

n=10 \sum x = 172, \sum y = 74, \sum xy = 2623, \sum x^2 =6194, \sum y^2 =1118  

r=\frac{5(2623)-(172)(74)}{\sqrt{[5(6194) -(172)^2][5(1118) -(74)^2]}}=0.974  

So then the correlation coefficient would be r =0.974

On a number​ line, suppose point E has a coordinate of -4 ​, and EG = 13. What are the possible coordinates of point​ G?
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

9 or -17

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The distance can be positive or negative, as we are just counting the number of units they are apart.

To find the possible coordinates for G, we can add or subtract 13 from -4 to find the possible coordinates for G.

<h3>Find G</h3>
  • -4 + 13 = G1
    -4 - 13 = G2
  • 9 = G1
    -17 = G2

The possible coordinates of G are 9 or -17.

How far from an airport can an airplane fly and return in 8 hours, if it's outgoing speed is 160 km per hour and it's returning
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
<span>speed = distance/time
total time is 8 hours

outgoing speed is 160 km per hour, 
so time = d/160

</span><span>returning speed is 240 km per hour,
so time = d/240

 d/160 + d/240 = 8

3d/480 + 2d/480 = 8
5d/480 = 8
5d =480 (8)
5d = 3840
d=3840/5
d=768

answer: so the distance is 768 km</span>
