Two separate tests are designed to measure a student's ability to solve problems. Several students are randomly selected to take

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

a) r = 0.974

b) Critical value = 0.602

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - Two separate tests are designed to measure a student's ability to solve problems. Several students are randomly selected to take both test and the results are give below

Test A | 64 48 51 59 60 43 41 42 35 50 45

Test B | 91 68 80 92 91 67 65 67 56 78 71

To find - (a) What is the value of the linear coefficient r ?

(b) Assuming a 0.05 level of significance, what is the critical value ?

Proof -

A)

r = 0.974

B)

Critical Values for the Correlation Coefficient

n alpha = .05 alpha = .01

4 0.95 0.99

5 0.878 0.959

6 0.811 0.917

7 0.754 0.875

8 0.707 0.834

9 0.666 0.798

10 0.632 0.765

11 0.602 0.735

12 0.576 0.708

13 0.553 0.684

14 0.532 0.661

So,

Critical r = 0.602 for n = 11 and alpha = 0.05

How would I do this?

Lelu [443]

I'm not sure about part B, but part A will have the answer "if Ron eats lunch today, then he will drink a glass of milk" (without quotes of course)

The idea is that we have these arguments in symbolic form
P = Ron eats lunch today
Q = Ron eats a sandwich
R = Ron will drink a glass of milk

The format is
"If P then Q" ----> "if Q then R" so therefore "If P then R"

We see that P leads to Q, then Q leads to R. So overall P leads to R. We connect them as a chain of sorts. We can skip over Q since we know the first point will lead to the last. Think of it as a shortcut of sorts.

The area of a rectangle is 56 cm. the length is 2 less than x and the width is 5 less than twice of x. solve for x

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

$x=\frac{9+\sqrt{449}}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is:

$A=l\cdot w$

First let's write both the length and the width in terms of x:

$l=x-2$

<u>How we obtained the answer</u>:

The question states the length is "2 less than x". In this case, "less" is a keyword that represents subtraction. Therefore, "2 less than x" is "x-2".

$w=2x-5$

<u>How we obtained the answer</u>:

The question states the width is "5 less than twice of x". First, start by figuring out what "twice of x" is. The keyword is "twice" which represents multiplication. Therefore, "twice of x" can be written as "2x". Then, using the same keyword from before ("less"), "5 less than..." represents "2x-5".

Given:

Area = 56 cm

$l=x-2$

$w=2x-5$

Find:

x

$A=l\cdot w$

$56=(x-2)(2x-5)$
