The correct answer is 2– it is NOT a possible value for correlation coefficient (r) because the value of “r” must always be between +1 and –1.

<h3>Answer: A) 2</h3>

Explanation:

The correlation coefficient r has this range of values

$-1 \le r \le 1$

which can be stated as "r is between -1 and 1, including both endpoints".

As you can see, r = 2 is outside this range and not a possible correlation coefficient. The largest r can get is r = 1 to indicate perfect positive linear correlation.

On the other end of the spectrum, r = -1 means perfect negative linear correlation. In between, r = 0 means no linear correlation at all.

"If a = − 9 and b = − 6, show that (a−b) ≠ (b−a)."

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

LHS a - b = -9 - (-6) = -9 +6 = -3

RHS b-a = -6 - (- 9) = -6 +9 = 3

as LHS not equal to RHS

a-b not equal to b-a

Thus proven

If f(x) = log2 (x + 1), what is f-1(2)? (2 points)

Soloha48 [4]

as you already know, to get the inverse of any expression, we start off by doing a quick switcheroo on the variables, and then solve for "y".

$\bf \textit{Logarithm Cancellation Rules} \\\\ log_a a^x = x\qquad \qquad \stackrel{\textit{we'll use this one}}{a^{log_a x}=x} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \stackrel{f(x)}{y}=\log_2(x+1)\implies \stackrel{\textit{quick switcheroo}}{\underline{x}=\log_2(\underline{y}+1)}\implies 2^x=2^{\log_2({y}+1)} \\\\\\ 2^x=y+1\implies 2^x-1=\stackrel{f^{-1}(x)}{y} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ 2^2-1=f^{-1}(2)\implies 3=f^{-1}(2)$
