Answer: b) τ = 0.3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the data :
Amount of salt (x)____% body fat(y)
0.2 _______________20
0.3 _______________30
0.4 _______________22
0.5 _______________30
0.7 _______________38
0.9 _______________23
1.1 ________________30
The correlation Coefficient as obtained from the online pearson correlation Coefficient calculator is 0.3281 = 0.3 (to one decimal place) which implies that a weak positive correlation or relationship exists between the preferred amount of salt taken to the percentage body weight of an individual. This is because the value is positive and closer to 0 than 1. The closer the weaker the degree of correlation. With positive values implying a positive relationship (that is an increase in variable A leads to a corresponding increase in B and vice-versa).
x²-6x=0
x(x-6)=0
Two solutions are possible:
x=0
x=6
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(1) 2x - 6y = -12
(2) x + 2y = 14
There is a -6y and a +2y. Since they have opposite signs, I'll try to eliminate the y terms. (That's my choice. There is more than one way to solve these.)
Multiply eq. (2) by 3:
3x + 6y = 42
Then add the result to eq. (1) to eliminate the y terms:
2x - 6y = -12
3x + 6y = 42
------------------
5x = 30, so x = 6
Now plug the value of x into eq. (2) and solve for y:
6 + 2y = 14
2y = 8
y = 4
Why did I use eq. (2) to solve for y? Because it's less work. I could have used eq. (1) instead:
2(6) - 6y = -12
12 - 6y = -12
-6y = -24
y = 4
More than one way to solve.
Let the number x.
Then the number divided by 2 gives
Subtract 3.8 from the quotient gives
Hence,
x = 21.6
