Answer:
A. 0.89.
Step-by-step explanation:
The value of correlation coefficient ranges from -1 to 1. Any value outside this range cannot possibly be correlation coefficient of a scatter plot representing relationship between two variables.
The scatter plot given shows a positive correlation between average daily temperatures and number of visitors, as the trend shows the two variables are moving in the same direction. As daily temperature increases, visitors also increases.
From the options given, the only plausible correlation that can represent this positive relationship is A. 0.89.
The main idea here is to "translate" the words into maths.
First we need to identify the unknowns and label these.
We need to know the number if dimes and the number of quarters. So lets say
x: number of dimes
y: number of quarters
Now lets write equations from the written problem.
We know that there are 36 coind total, thus:
x + y = 36
We also know that the coins total 5.85 dollars, but it is better to count in cents, that is 585 cents.
x are the number of dimes, their value is x*10
y are quarters with value of y*25
thus:
10x+25y=585
We have two equations and two unknowns now, that needs to be solved to get the answer.
x + y = 36
10x+25y=585
On 6/25 divide 6 by 25=.24 and 2 3/4= 2.75 you have 2 and then 3/4=.75
