Answer:
a) strong negative linear correlation.
b) Weak or no linear correlation.
c) strong positive linear correlation.
Step-by-step explanation:
The correlation coefficient r measures the strength and direction (positive or negative) of two variables. The correlation coefficient r is always between -1 and 1. When the coefficient r is negative then the direction of the correlation is downhill (negative) and when it's positive then it's an uphill correlation (positive). Similarly, as the coefficient is closer to -1 or 1 the correlation is stronger, with zero being a non linear relationship.
Now back to the question:
a) Near -1: as we said before, this means an strong negative (-1) linear correlation.
b) Near 0: weak or no linear correlation (we cannot say if its positive or negative because we don't know it it's near zero from the right (positive numbers) or the left (negative numbers)
c) Near 1: strong positive (close to +1) linear correlation
Answer:
The cellphone towers height is 1020 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is solved using proportions, by a rule of three.
A 10-ft post casts a 14-inch shadow.
Each feet has 12 inches, which means that a post with 10 feet will cast a 14/12 = 1.167 ft shadow. How tall is the cell-phone tower with a 119-feet shadow?
10 feet post - 1.167 ft shadow
x feet tower - 119 feet shadow
Applying cross multiplication:
The cellphone towers height is 1020 ft.
Let A represent amount of Type A coffee pounds used.
Let B represent amount of Type B coffee pounds used
A + B = 156
B = 156 - A
A = 156 - B
5.80A + 4.65B = 826.60
580 (156 - B) + 4.65B - 826.60 = 0
904.8 - 5.80B + 4.65B - 826.60 = 0
904.8 - 1.15B - 826.60 = 0
78.2 - 1.15B = 0
78.2/1.15 = 1.15B/1.15
68 = B
B = 68 pounds of Type B coffee
There's many more steps you can take to check and etc but am too lazy to put down sorry.
