Answer:
(a)r=15-b
11.9 Inches
(b)See attached
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of the candle =15 inch
Let b represent the burned length of the candle (in inches)
Let r represent the remaining length of the candle (in inches).
Therefore:
(a) r+b=15
r=15-b
When b=3,1 Inches
Remaining Length, r=15-3.1=11.9 Inches
(b)The graph showing te relationship between r and b is shown below.
r is plotted on the y-axis while b is plotted on the x-axis as labelled.
Answer:
Correlation will not change.
Correlation coefficient = -0.72
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
Correlation coefficient between hours spent studying and hours spent on the Internet = -0.72
Properties of correlation coefficient:
- Correlation is a technique that help us to find or define a relationship between two variables.
- It is a measure of linear relationship between two quantities.
- It is not affected by the units of the variable or change in units of the variable.
Thus, if the units of each variable is changed from hours to minutes, the correlation coefficient remains the same between minutes studying and minutes spent on the Internet.
We let the number of years that the two jobs will have the same payment be denoted as t. Equating the wages of these two jobs after t - 1 years will give us an equation of,
22,000 + 4000(t -1) = 26,000 + 2000(t - 1)
The value of t from the generated equation is 3. Therefore, after 3 years the jobs will be paying the same wages.
Answer:
infinity
Step-by-step explanation:
a) the expected value of this gamble in dollars is Infinity
i.e
expected value = 
= 
b)
When offered, most people say they would pay only less than $10 to play this game.
What are two reasons why people are willing to pay so much less than the expected value?
These people are ready to pay less than $10 to play this game due to the fact that people usually overlook the unlikely event when making decisions. In a bid to that logic, they gamble in order to double their amount of money and the probability that heads may never come is ignored by these people and they may hope for a likely event i.e a head every time they play the game.
Also, the expected value is so humongous that if and only if that the first head appears after a long series of tails which is very less certain to occur, because mostly people would think that on an average the length of a series of tails ( or heads) is somewhat near 10 or so, but definitely infinity.
