A botanist created a linear model to predict plant height from soil acidity (pH level) for a certain type of plant. The slope of the model was 2.5 centimeters per pH level, the standard deviation of the sample of plant heights
was 4 centimeters, and the standard deviation of the soil acidities was 1 pH level. What is the value of the correlation coefficient?
A
0.015
(B) 0.10
c. .25
d. 0.625
E
1.60

The answer is D. 0.625

Step-by-step explanation:

2.5=r(4/1)

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

a(n) - a(n-1) -3

discussion:

this ones a bit interesting. given a(n) = 5 - 3n consider this:

a(n-1) = 5 - 3(n-1)

          = (5 - 3n) + 3             => but a(n) = 5 - 3n, the first term

          = a(n)   + 3                 => subtract 3 from both sides

a(n-1) -3 = a(n)  

or

a(n) - a(n-1) -3
