Answer:

B - 130

both values are equal to 20.8

Step-by-step explanation:

the first step is figuring out what they want you to compare the multiple choice answers to- 13% of 160, which is equal to 20.8 (160*.13)!

so next, we need to take 16% of each of our answers. we can guess at what our answer isn't going to be, specifically that it cannot be 13 since 20.8 is more than 13. We can also guess its not going to be 13,000, since even ten percent of that is about 130. The same logic can be applied to 1300, ten percent of 1300 (ie dividing 1300 by ten) is 130, again too large.

Therefore, by process of elimination we can guess that its likely B.

As for checking: we have our 20.8 to compare to, and 16% of 130 (.16*130) is in fact 20.8.

calculate the value its asking you to compare to- 13% of 160 (or .13 * 160) is 20.8
use process of elimination to eliminate a few answers:
the answer cannot be A because A is already smaller than 20.8
the answer cannot be D because even 10% of D is 1300 (much more than 20.8
the answer cannot be C because 10% of C is 130, more than 20.8
that leaves B as our answer- and lets check

16% of 130, or .16*130 is equal to 20.8

Explain what each of the following sample correlation coefficients tells you about the relationship between the x and y values i

Alchen [17]

Answer: The description are as follows:

Step-by-step explanation:

Correlation coefficients is a statistical measure that measures the relationship between the two variables.

(a) r = 1, it means that there is a Perfect positive relationship between the two variables. If there is positive increase in one variable then other variable also increases with a fixed proportion.

(b) r = -1, it means that there is a perfect negative relationship between the two variables. If there is positive increase in one variable then other variable decreases with a fixed proportion.

(d) r = 0.86, this is a situation which shows that there is a fairly strong positive relationship between the two variables.

(e) r = 0.06, it is nearly zero which represents that either there is a very minor positive relationship between the two variables or there is no relationship between them.

(f) r = -0.89, this is a situation which shows that there is a fairly strong negative relationship between the two variables.

Answer:

Choice D - 8cm and 9cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The other sides are not greater than 13.

A: 5 + 8 = 13

B: 6 + 7 = 13

C: 7 + 2 = 9
