Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that for a biology project, you measure the weight in grams and the tail length in millimeters of a group of mice.
The correlation is r = 0.9
If you had measured tail length in centimeters instead of millimeters, what would be the correlation?
For this we must understand the meaning of correlation and formula
Correlation is a measure of linear association between the two variables and always lie between -1 and 1
This is got by dividing covariance of (x,y) by product of std deviation of x and y
So because we changed the units of length correlation coefficient would not change.
It would remain the same as 0.90
You don't have the graph icon here, so we'll have to graph this parabola without it.
Your parabola is y = -x^2 + 3., which resembles y = a(x-h)^2 + k. We can tell immediately that this parabola opens down and that the vertex is (0,3).
Plot (0,3). Besides being the vertex, this point is also the max. of the function.
Now calculate four more points. Choose four arbitrary x-values, such as {-2, 1, 4, 5} and find the y value for each one. Plot the resulting four points. Draw a smooth curve thru them, remembering (again) that the vertex is at (0,3) and that the parabola opens down.
Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate 10% of total = 3 / 1.5 = 2
Multiply by 10x since 10% is 1/10 of 100%
2 x 10 = 20
