Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the way to find how many participanted in the class voted, you need to look at the percentages and the number of students that voted for Vicky.

50% of students voted for Vicky and the question later explained that the total of the 50% was 30 students. This mean we know half of the student that participated. To find the total amount of students to make 100%, you need to multiple 30 by 2. which is 60.

Now that we know there were 60 students in total, we can find how many participated by using Iverson's percentage.

this is the formula that can help with any percentage math problem:

The percentage of something ÷ 100% = the number you are looking for ÷ the total

in our case:

40÷100 = x (because it is the unknown term)÷60

from here you cross multiple getting

2400÷100x

which equals

24

now we have to add Vicky's and Iverson's voter

24 + 30= 54

60-54=6

6 students did not participate

Suppose that you are asked to conduct a study to determine whether smaller class
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

a. correlation

b. inverse linear correlation exists If the higher the population of students lead to a decrease in test score,

c. yes

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Correlation is a measure of the amount of association existing between two variables.

b. For linear correlation, if points are plotted on a graph and all the points lie on a straight line, then perfect linear correlation is said to exist. When a straight line having a positive gradient can reasonably be drawn through points on a graph positive or direct linear correlation exists,

Similarly,when a straight line having a negative gradient can reasonably be drawn through points on a graph, negative or inverse linear correlation exists,

The results of this determination give values of r lying between +1 and −1, where +1 indicates perfect direct  Positive linear correlation and −1 indicates perfect inverse correlation or Negative linear correlation and 0 indicates that no correlation exists.

If the higher the population of students lead to a decrease in test score, there will definitely be a negative correlation between class size and test score. i.e low class size result in high test score which consequently lead to high performance.

c. YES

A negative correlation means low class size result in high test score which consequently lead to better performance.
