Quotient is:
Remainder: 0
Answer and workings in the attachment below.
Answer:
- strong negative linear correlation
- -0.986
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to notice that when altitude goes up, temperature goes down. That means the correlation is negative.
The table shows the temperature decrease to be monotonic (nowhere does it go up when altitude increases), so the correlation is strong.
The strong negative correlation number available to you is -0.986.
___
If you want confirmation, you can put the numbers into your favorite graphing calculator and tell it to compute the correlation for you.
Consecutive integers are 1 apart
x,x+1,x+2
(x)(x+1)(x+2)=-120
x^3+3x^2+3x=-120
add 120 to both sides
x^3+3x^2+3x+120=0
factor
(x+6)(x^2-3x+20)=0
set each to zero
x+6=0
x=-6
x^2-3x+20=0
will yeild non-real result, discard
x=-6
x+1=-5
x+2=-4
the numbers are -4,-5,-6
use trial and error and logic
factor 120
120=2*2*2*3*5
how can we rearange these numbers in (x)(y)(z) format such that they multiply to 120?
obviously, the 5 has to stay since 2*5=10 which is out of range
so 2*2*2*3 has to arrange to get 3,4 or 4, 6 or 6,7
obviously, 7 cannot happen since it is prime
3 and 4 results in in 12, but 2*2*2*3=24
therfor answer is 4 and 6
they are all negative since negaive cancel except 1
the numbers are -4,-5,-6
