IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

$60 for a noble fir, and $40 for a douglas fir

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of noble fir trees

Let y represent the number of douglas fir trees

We can set up a system of equations to solve this problem

5x + 3y =  420  

12x + 9y = 1080      

We can use elimination method to solve this.  9 is a multiple of 3, so we'll multiply the first equation by -3 to get...

-15x - 9y = -1260

12x + 9y = 1080

Now add them together...

-3x = -180         now solve for x...

        x = 60

If x = 60, them

5(60) + 3y = 420        now solve for y

  300 + 3y = 420

      3y = 120

           y =  40

Select the most likely answer for the coefficient of linear correlation for the following two variables: x = the number of hours
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Option b) r = 0.70      

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in he question:

Variables:

x = the number of hours spent studying for a test

y = the number of points earned on the test

  • Correlation is a technique that help us to find or define a relationship between two variables.  
  • A positive correlation means that an increase in one quantity leads to an increase in another quantity
  • A negative correlation means with increase in one quantity the other quantity decreases.
  • +1 tells about a a perfect positive linear relationship and −1 indicates a perfect negative linear relationship.
  • Values between 0 and 0.3 tells about a weak positive linear relationship, values between 0.3 and 0.7 shows a moderate positive correlation and a correlation of 0.7 and 1.0 states a strong positive linear relationship.
  • Values between 0 and -0.3 tells about a weak negative linear relationship, values between -0.3 and -0.7 shows a moderate negative correlation and a correlation value of of -0.7 and -1.0 states a strong negative linear relationship.

As the number of hours increases, the number of points earned on the test increases. Thus, the two variables are positively correlated.

Thus, the coefficient correlation between two variables can be given by r = 0.70, that shows a moderate positive correlation.

Option b) r = 0.70

A new operation is defined by a△b=a^2-b/b-a^2. 4△3.
dmitriy555 [2]

As the new mathematical operation is defined by a△b=a^2-b/b-a^2, the value of 4△3 using the same operation will be 4△3 = -1

As per the question statement, we are given a new mathematical operation a△b=a^2-b/b-a^2 and we are supposed to find the value of 4△3 using the same operation.

Given, a△b=a^2-b/b-a^2

now 4△3 = (4^2-3) / (3-4^2)  

4△3 = (16-3) / (3-16)        

4△3 = 13 / -13  

4△3 = -1

Hence, as the new mathematical operation is defined by a△b=a^2-b/b-a^2, the value of 4△3 using the same operation will be 4△3 = -1.

  • Mathematical operation: An operator in mathematics is often a mapping or function that transforms components of one space into elements of another.
