Which one of the following would most likely have a positive linear correlation coefficient? A. temperature of a refrigerator compared to the number of items inside of it
B. amount of money spent on baby food as a child ages
C. length of a driveway compared to number of cars owned
D. distance driven in a car compared to the hours spent driving

D

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are to select which of the options best answer the question.

What we are dealing with in the question is the coefficient of correlation. We want a correlation. coefficient that is positively linear.

Correlation talks about the extent of agreement between the data points involved.

So basically, what we want here are the two terms that are mostly related to one another.

A has no relationship between the two quantities. There is actually no relationship between a refrigerator’s temperature and the number of items in the refrigerator.

B , all things being equal, when a child ages , the amount spent of baby food decreases.

This shows a kind of negative correlation between the two terms

C basically has no relationship between the term/. The number of cars owners does not dictate the length of the driveway.

D. Yes, we have a positive linear relationship here. The longer you drive, the longer the distance covered.

step-by-step explanation:

equation

you are asked to write the equation

  expression = 0

using the given expression. when you do that, you have

  2x^2-2x-12 = 0

factoring

you can see that each of the coefficients is even, so a factor of 2 can be removed immediately.

  2(x^2 -x -6) = 0

if you multiply the binomials (x+a)(x+b), you get

  (x +a)(x +b) = x^2 +(a+b)x +ab

this tells you the coefficient of x is the sum of two factors of the constant term. here, that means -1 is the sum of two factors of -6. we want to know those factors so we can factor the trinomial.

  -6 = -1×6 = -2×3 = -3×2 = -6×1

the factor pair that sums to -1 is {-3, 2}, so our factorization is

  2(x -3)(x +2) = 0

solutions

the solutions to this equation are the values of x that make the product zero. a product is zero only when only of the factors of the product is zero. here, that means

  x - 3 = 0

  x = 3 . . . add 3 to both sides of the equation

or

  x +2 = 0

  x = -2 . . . add -2 to both sides of the equation

the solutions to the equation are x=3 or x=-2. both of these values of x satisfy the equation—they make it be true.

step-by-step explanation:

use the table and count the number of guesses that has two correct answers.

the following are two correct answers

10010, 01100, 11000

a total of 3 numbers having 2 correct guesses out of 20 questions.

probability of getting 2 correct guesses = the number of questions getting 2 correct answers / total number of questions.

= 3/20

to convert it into percent multiply by 100, we get

= 3/20 * 100

= 15%

the answer is 15%
