What is -157/20 as a decimal

1 answer:

4 0

$-\frac{157}{20}=-\frac{140+17}{20}=-\left(\frac{140}{20}+\frac{17}{20}\right)=-7\frac{17}{20}\\\\-7\frac{17}{20}\to\ divide\ 17\ by\ 20\to\boxed{-7\frac{17}{20}=-7.85}\\\\other\ way\\\\-7\frac{17}{20}=-7\frac{17\cdot5}{20\cdot5}=-7\frac{85}{100}=\boxed{-7.85}$

For a bivariate random variable (x, y ), if the covariance is 1225, the variance of x is 1600, and the variance of y is 2500. Fi

prisoha [69]

If the covariance is 1225, variance of x is 1600,variance of y is 2500 then the correlation coefficient between x and y is 0.6125.

Given the covariance is 1225, variance of x is 1600,variance of y is 2500.

We have to find the correlation coefficient between x and y.

Covariance is basically a measure of the joint variability of two random variables.

Variance is a basically a measure of dispersion, meaning it is a measure of how far a set of numbers is spread out from their average value.

The correlation coefficient is basically the specific measure that quantifies the strength of the linear relationship between two variables in a correlation analysis.

We know that the formula of correlation coefficient is as under:

r= $covariance (x,y)/\sqrt{variance(x)}*\sqrt{variance (y)}$
