Answer:
1. Co-variance= -1.2
2. correlation coefficient= -0.4404
3. There is weak negative relationship between x and y.
Explanation:
1.
Co-variance= Cov(x,y)= sum[(x-xbar)(y-ybar)]/n
xbar=sumx/n=32/5=6.4
ybar=sumy/n=35/5=7
x 7 8 5 3 9
x-xbar 0.6 1.6 -1.4 -3.4 2.6
y 7 5 9 7 7
y-ybar 0 -2 2 0 0
(x-xbar)(y-ybar) 0 -3.2 -2.8 0 0
Cov(x,y)= sum[(x-xbar)(y-ybar)]/n=-6/5=-1.2
Cov(x,y)=-1.2
2.
correlation coefficient=r

x 7 8 5 3 9
x-xbar 0.6 1.6 -1.4 -3.4 2.6
y 7 5 9 7 7
y-ybar 0 -2 2 0 0
(x-xbar)(y-ybar) 0 -3.2 -2.8 0 0
(x-xbar)² 0.36 2.56 1.96 11.56 6.76
(y-ybar)² 0 4 4 0 0

r=-0.4404
3. Since the value of correlation coefficient is negative and less than 0.5 , so, we can say that there is weak negative relationship between x and y.
Answer:
This correct answer is a.
Explanation:
Though states can pass laws which apply locally, the Federal government has the final say when there is a conflict between a Federal and a State law. The supremacy clause, article VI of the constitution, says that any Federal law that prohibits a certain practice supersedes any kind of state law. For example, if the state law permits the use of marijuana but the federal law issues a prohibition, the state should comply with the federal law or the federal government can stop the state legislation.
The answer here is meta-analysis.
We can see here that Dr O'Connor is using meta-analysis because she is examining the 170 studies that have been done on the topic to find out the truth that lies behind theses similar studies. Meta-analysis in essence is a statistical analysis done on the results of the previous studies on a certain topic or in a certain field as it combines all of those findings to get an overall result.
