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

Suppose that F(x) = x3 and G(x) = -4x3-5. Which statement best compares the graph of G(x) with the graph of F(x)?
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Answer is B

Step-by-step explanation:

F(x) is first stretched by factor 4 from '4x³';

It is then reflected in the x-axis, since it is '-4x³';

Lastly, it is shifted down 5 units, because of the '-5'.

What would the answer to this question be?<br> A. 40°<br> B. 60°<br> C. 80°<br> D. 100°
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

D. 100°

Step-by-step explanation:

A straight line is 180°. Add 50° and 30° (which is 80°) and subtract the total from 180°.

50 + 30 = 80

180 - 80 = 100
