Based on the data, the most likely correlation coefficient would be -1.
The slope between 20 and 30 days is -1, and it represents the change in the surface area of the lake per day.
The data represents correlation, not causation.

Since the data would form a perfectly straight line through the points, the correlation coefficient would be -1 for a perfect decreasing fit.
To find the slope, find the change in the surface area between those days, the change in the days, and write it as surface area/days:  80-90=-10; 30-20=10; -10/10=-1
This is not causation because there could be lurking variables we cannot see.

You are working in a primary care office. Flu season is starting. For the sake of public health, it is critical to diagnose peop
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

E. 0.11

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

A 10% probability that a person has the flu.

A 90% probability that a person does not have the flu, just a cold.

If a person has the flu, a 99% probability of having a runny nose.

If a person just has a cold, a 90% probability of having a runny nose.

This can be formulated as the following problem:

What is the probability of B happening, knowing that A has happened.

It can be calculated by the following formula

P = \frac{P(B).P(A/B)}{P(A)}

Where P(B) is the probability of B happening, P(A/B) is the probability of A happening knowing that B happened and P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this problem, we have that:

What is the probability that a person has the flu, given that she has a runny nose?

P(B) is the probability that a person has the flu. So P(B) = 0.1.

P(A/B) is the probability that a person has a runny nose, given that she has the flu. So P(A/B) = 0.99.

P(A) is the probability that a person has a runny nose. It is 0.99 of 0.1 and 0.90 of 0.90. So

P(A) = 0.99*0.1 + 0.9*0.9 = 0.909

What is the probability that this person has the flu?

P = \frac{P(B).P(A/B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.1*0.99}{0.909} = 0.1089 = 0.11

The correct answer is:

E. 0.11
