Since Ryan is 5 feet tall, we will assume that the height of the cell-phone tower is x + 5.
Since the given is 54 degrees.
Tan 54degrees = x/80(feet)
x=80(tan54)
x=110
To finalize the answer, we will add up the height of the cell-phone tower to the answer.
110 + 5 = 115 feet
So the answer to the question is that the height of the cell-phone tower is 115 ft.

The number of motor vehicles registered in millions in the US has grown as follows:

zysi [14]

Answer:

a) Figure attached

b) $r=\frac{n(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2 -(\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2 -(\sum y)^2]}}$

For our case we have this:

n=10 $\sum x = 75.819, \sum y = 43.5231, \sum xy = 330.0321, \sum x^2 =574.8598, \sum y^2 =192.8274$

$r=\frac{10(330.0321)-(75.81948)(43.5231)}{\sqrt{[10(574.8598) -(75.819)^2][10(192.8274) -(43.5231)^2]}}=0.989$

So then the correlation coefficient would be r =0.989

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

Part a

Year (x): 1940, 1945 1950, 1955, 1960, 1965, 1970, 1975, 1980, 1985

Vehicles (Y): 32.4, 31.0, 49.2, 62.7, 73.9, 90.4, 108.4, 132.9, 155.8, 171.7

After apply natural log for the two variables and create the scatterplot in excel we got the following result on the figure attached.

Part b

And in order to calculate the correlation coefficient we can use this formula:

$r=\frac{n(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2 -(\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2 -(\sum y)^2]}}$

For our case we have this:

n=10 $\sum x = 75.819, \sum y = 43.5231, \sum xy = 330.0321, \sum x^2 =574.8598, \sum y^2 =192.8274$

$r=\frac{10(330.0321)-(75.81948)(43.5231)}{\sqrt{[10(574.8598) -(75.81948)^2][10(192.8274) -(43.5231)^2]}}=0.989$

So then the correlation coefficient would be r =0.989
