The accompanying data on x = current density (mA/cm2) and y = rate of deposition (µm/min) appeared in an article. Do you agree with the claim by the article's author that "a linear relationship was obtained from the tin-lead rate of deposition as a function of current density"?

col2 y 0.24 1.10 1.71 2.12
Find the value of r2. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

So then the correlation coefficient would be r =0.98726

And the determination coeffcient would be:

And that means that the a linear model will explain about 97.5% of the variability in the data. So for this case we can conclude that we have a strong linear relationship.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given

col1 x 20 40 60 80

col2 y 0.24 1.10 1.71 2.12

Solution to the problem

We can find the correlation coefficient we can use this formula:  

For our case we have this:

n=4  

So then the correlation coefficient would be r =0.98726

And the determination coeffcient would be:

And that means that the a linear model will explain about 97.5% of the variability in the data. So for this case we can conclude that we have a strong linear relationship.

2 over 5

step-by-step explanation:

the 2: 3 ratio is the length of the ac segment to the cb segment total length. this implies that the ratio between segment ac length and segment ab length is 2: 5. point c is 2/5 from a to b, so the required fraction is 2/5.
