Answer:

Option B. A description of the data with a correlation coefficient of -0.3 is that it is a low negative correlation.

Step-by-step explanation:

In statistics, the correlation coefficient is a measure of the linear correlation between two variables x and y. This correlation coefficient can be positive, negative or it can show no correlation. A positive correlation indicates that while one data set increases, the other data set does as well, positive correlations a typically show a positive number. A negative correlation means that while one data set increases, the other data set decreases, this type of correlation is typically shown in a line that goes down on the scatter plot. No correlation means exactly that, that the two sets of data are no correlated at all.

Therefore, if the correlation coefficient is -0.3, this indicates that the correlation between the two sets of data is a negative type, as the number negative 0.3 is indicating a line that goes down, instead of a line that goes up.

Which expressions are equal to a(6−2a) ?Select each correct answer.

marysya [2.9K]

Answer: e. $6a-2a^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You have the following expression given in the problem:

$a(6-2a)$

2. To solve the exercise and find an equal expression, you must simplify that expression. Apply the Distributive property. Multiply the terms inside the parentheses by $a$ . Then, you obtain:

$a(6-2a)=(a)(6)-(a)(2a)=6a-2a^{2}$

Answer:

Part A: The price of fuel A is decreasing by 12% per month.

Part B: Fuel A recorded a greater percentage change in price over the previous month.

Explanation:

Part A:

The function $f(x)=2.27(0.88)^x$ calculates the price of fuel A each month by multiplying the price of the month before by 0.88.

Month price, f(x)

1 2.27 (0.88) = 1.9976 ≈ 2.00

2 2.27(0.88)² = 1.59808 ≈ 1.60

3 2.27(0.88)³ = 1.46063 ≈ 1.46

Then, the price of fuel A is decreasing.

The percentage per month is (1 - 0.88) × 100 = 12%, i.e. the price decreasing by 12% per month.

Part B.

Table:

m price, g(m)

1 3.44

2 3.30

3 3.17

4 3.04

To find if the function decreases with a constant ration divide each pair con consecutive prices:

ratio = 3.30 / 3. 44 = 0.959 ≈ 0.96

ratio = 3.17 / 3.30 = 0.960 ≈ 0.96

ratio = 3.04 / 3.17 = 0.959 ≈ 0.96

Thus, the price of fuel B is decreasing by (1 - 0.96) × 100 =4%.

Hence, the fuel A recorded a greater percentage change in price over the previous month.
