Step-by-step explanation:

Since Shanika is standing near the pole, we can safely assume that the triangle formed by Shanika and her shadow is a smaller version of the triangle formed by the pole and its shadow.

By similar triangles:

$\frac{x \: of \: pole}{y \: of \: pole} = \frac{x \: of \: shanika}{y \: of \: shanika} \\ \frac{16}{ height \: of \: pole} = \frac{4}{5} \\ 16(5) = 4 \times height \: of \: pole \\ height \: of \: pole = \frac{80}{4} \\ = 20$

The height of the pole is 20ft.

The table shows the number of calories in four meals and the cost of each meal.

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

A weak negative correlation

Step-by-step explanation:

$correlation, r = \frac{∑(y-\alpha)(x-\beta }{\sqrt{∑(y-\alpha)^2∑(x-\beta )^2 } }$

where,

$\alpha = \frac{∑y}{n} \\\beta =\frac{∑x}{n} \\∑ = summation$

$\alpha = \frac{3230}{4} = 807.5\\\\\\\beta =\frac{46}{4} = 11.5$

$therefore,\\\\r= -0.12924$

This represents a weak negative correlation

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

A certain corporation listed their sales in 100s as 20700

We need to find their actual volume in millions,

According to question,

In 100s, their volume = 2070000

In 100000, their volume is given by

$207\times 10^5\\\\=2070000\times 10^5=207\times 10^9$

Hence, their actual volume in millions is 207×10⁹.
