It would be -4, and 9.2 because they sign is saying that x is less than or equal too 11.
A strong positive linear correlation between the number of rainy days and the number of grapes produced on a grape plant, implies that:
The more the rains the more the number of grapes produced per plant. Hence the answer is:
A] Yes. Since the number of rainy days and number of grapes produced are linearly correlated, this means a greater number of rainy days causes the grape plants to produce more.
A) 5 to be chosen among a Total : 10 Men + 8 Women
¹⁸C₅ = (18!)/(5!)(13!) = 8,568 groups of five
b) A must to have men and women. If so we have to deduct all groups of 5 that are all men and all group of 5 that are all women
Groups of 5 with only men: ¹⁰C₅ = 252
Groups of 5 with only women: ⁸C₅ = 56
So number of committees of 5 men and women mixed =
8568 - 252 - 56 = 8,260 committees
c) 3 Women and 2 Men:
⁸C₃ x ¹⁰C₂ = 2,520 groups of 3 W and 2 M
d) More women than men, it means:
3 W + 2 M OR (we have found it in c) = 2,520)
4 W + 1 M OR ⁸C₄ x ¹⁰C₁ →→→→ = 700
5 W + 0 M OR ⁸C₅ x ¹⁰C₀ →→→→ = 56
Total where W>M = 3,276 groups of 5 where women are at least 3
