Answer:

a. Scatterplot is attached.

b. Positive Correlation

c. Correlation coefficient=0.9219

Step-by-step explanation:

The following procedure will be used to obtain the scatter plot

Open an Google Sheets file online or excel sheet on your computer.
In column B and C, enter the Income and Vacation data as provided above.
Select the data > click on insert CHART.
Chose Scatter Chart option

Click OK.

A scatter plot visualizing your data should be displayed as attached.

On your computer, open a spreadsheet in Google Sheets.
Double-click on your scatter plot.
At the right, click on Customize tab and then Series.
Scroll down and check the Trend line box

-From the trend line, your notice that your variables have a positive correlation.

-As the income increases, so does vacation expenditure.

c. The correlation coefficient can be calculated as follows.

Click on any empty cell in the sheet and enter the formula
"=CORREL((y-axis range),(x-axis range))"
ENTER

-From our Google Sheets calculation our variables have a positive correlation and the correlation coefficient is 0.9219

-The correlation coefficient,r can also be calculated manually:

-let x be income, and y be vacation and divide all the values by 100 to make the smaller and easier to manipulate:

$r=\frac{n(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2-(\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2-(\sum y)^2}}\\\\\\\sum xy=153914\\\sum x=4485\\\sum y=246\\\sum x^2=2878447\\(\sum x)^2=4485^2=20115225\\(\sum y)^2=246^2=60516\\\sum y^2=8392\\n=8\\\\\#substitute \ and \ solve \ for \ r\\\\=\frac{8\times153914-4485\times 246}{\sqrt{[8\times 2878447-4485^2][8\times 8392-246^2]}}\\\\=0.92186\\\\\approx 0.9219$

In Speed Study Number 1, we looked at two cars traveling the same distance at different speeds on city streets. Car "A" traveled

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

b-about 5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

For an object in uniform circular motion (=moving at constant velocity), the time taken to cover a certain distance is given by:

$t=\frac{d}{v}$

where

d is the distance covered

v is the speed of the object

In this problem we have:

d = 10 miles is the distance covered by both cars

Car A travels at a speed of

$v_A=35 mi/h$

So the time it takes is

$t=\frac{10}{35}=0.286 h \cdot 60 \frac{min}{h}= 17.2 min$

Car B travels at a speed of

$v_B=45 mi/h$

So the time it takes is

$t'=\frac{d}{v_B}=\frac{10}{45}=0.222 h \cdot 60 \frac{min}{h}=13.3 min$

So the difference in time is

$\Delta t = t-t'=17.2 min - 13.3 min \sim 4 min$

So, the closest answer is

b-about 5 minutes

The amount of rhubarb in the original recipe is 3 1/2 cups. Using what you know of whole numbers and what you know of fractions,

Alexxx [7]

The easiest way, I think, is to convert the mixed number into an improper fraction, then multiply by 3.
3 1/2 = 7/2
7/2 · 3 = 21/2
now just change the improper fraction back to a mixed number by dividing and putting the remainder into fraction form
21/2 = 10 1/2

You could also multiply the whole number by 3 and the fraction by 3, ending up with 9 3/2, but then have to convert the improper fraction into a mixed number
3/2 = 1 1/2
then add the numbers together
9 + 1 1/2 = 10 1/2
either way works, whatever is easiest for you.

The Office of Student Services at a large western state university maintains information on the study habits of its full-time st

vredina [299]

Answer:

a. 0.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard error of the mean is the standard deviation of the population divided by the square root of the sample size.

In this problem, we have that:

Standard deviation of the population: 6 hours

Sample size: 144

Square root of 144 is 12.

So the standard error of the sample mean is 6/12 = 0.5.

The average price for a gallon of gasoline in the United States is and in Russia it is . Assume these averages are the populatio

noname [10]

This question is incomplete

Complete Question

The average price for a gallon of gasoline in the United States is $3.73 and in Russia it is $3.40 (Bloomberg Businessweek, March 5–March 11, 2012). Assume these averages are the population means in the two countries and that the probability distributions are normally distributed with a standard deviation of $.25 in the United States and a standard deviation of $.20 in Russia.

a. What is the probability that a randomly selected gas station in the United States charges less than $3.50 per gallon?(to 4 decimals)

Answer:

0.1788

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question using z score formula.

z = (x-μ)/σ,

where x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

a. What is the probability that a randomly selected gas station in the United States charges less than $3.50 per gallon?(to 4 decimals)

For the United States

x is the raw score = $3.50

μ is the population mean = Average price for a gallon of gasoline in the United States is $3.73

σ is the population standard deviation = standard deviation of $.25 in the United States = $0.25

z score = $3.50 - $3.73/$0.25

=-0.92

Determining the Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x ≤ 3.50) = P(x < 3.5) = P(z = -0.92)

= 0.17879

Approximately to 4 decimal places = 0.1788

Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected gas station in the United States charges less than $3.50 per gallon is 0.1788
