Explain why the slope b of the least-squares line always has the same sign (positive or negative) as the sample correlation coef

ficient r. Choose the correct relationship between b and r, where sx and sy are the standard deviations of the x values and the y values, respectively.
a. b = 1/r(sx/sy)
b. b = r(sy/sx)
c. b = 1/r(sy/sx)
d. b = r(sx/sy)

Answer:

b = r(sy/sx)

Step-by-step explanation:

The sign of the slope Coefficient and the correlation are the same because both the slope and correlation Coefficient evaluates the changes in one variable with respect to the other . A decrease in y as x increases will result in a negative slope value and also a negative correlation Coefficient. While increase in x which results in the increase in y imvariable will result in a positive correlation Coefficient value and r value.

Slope, b = correlation Coefficient,r (Sy /Sx)

Sx = standard deviation of x values

Sy = standard deviation of Y Values

MATHEMATICS: can anybody help or show me how to do this. look at the picture i need help with question 3?
Alekssandra [29.7K]
It wants you to come up with three events. You'll place them on the line right above, where you think they would go.

For example, if your first event was "seeing a unicorn" you would plot it by "impossible." Some things have a fifty fifty chance, or are likely, like you finding a penny. Use any scenario you can think of. How likely is it that it would come true?

How to solve -2(x+3)=8​
Shtirlitz [24]
-2(x + 3) = 8

Multiply -2 with x and 3

-2x -6 = 8

Now add 6 to both sides

-2x -6 = 8
+6 +8

-2x = 16

Lastly divide -2 from both sides to find x


-2x = 16
—— —-
-2x -2x


X = -8
