1 answer:
Answer:
a) r = 0.974
b) Critical value = 0.602
Step-by-step explanation:
Given - Two separate tests are designed to measure a student's ability to solve problems. Several students are randomly selected to take both test and the results are give below
Test A | 64 48 51 59 60 43 41 42 35 50 45
Test B | 91 68 80 92 91 67 65 67 56 78 71
To find - (a) What is the value of the linear coefficient r ?
(b) Assuming a 0.05 level of significance, what is the critical value ?
Proof -
A)
r = 0.974
B)
Critical Values for the Correlation Coefficient
n alpha = .05 alpha = .01
4 0.95 0.99
5 0.878 0.959
6 0.811 0.917
7 0.754 0.875
8 0.707 0.834
9 0.666 0.798
10 0.632 0.765
11 0.602 0.735
12 0.576 0.708
13 0.553 0.684
14 0.532 0.661
So,
Critical r = 0.602 for n = 11 and alpha = 0.05

Answer:
y = 5cos(πx/4) +11
Step-by-step explanation:
The radius is 5 ft, so that will be the multiplier of the trig function.
The car starts at the top of the wheel, so the appropriate trig function is cosine, which is 1 (its maximum value) when its argument is zero.
The period is 8 seconds, so the argument of the cosine function will be 2π(x/8) = πx/4. This changes by 2π when x changes by 8.
The centerline of the wheel is the sum of the minimum and the radius, so is 6+5 = 11 ft. This is the offset of the scaled cosine function.
Putting that all together, you get
... y = 5cos(π/4x) + 11
_____
The answer selections don't seem to consistently identify the argument of the trig function properly. We assume that π/4(x) means (πx/4), where this product is the argument of the trig function.
