You go to a carnival and a sideshow performer wants to bet you $100 that he can guess your exact weight just from knowing your height. You watch him for a few moments predicting people's weights and get the following observations. (Assume a linear relationship). Height (in) Weight(lbs)
60.0 99
62.0 107
63.0 111
66.5 125
73.5 153
84.0 195
The performer is predicting

Weight from height ;

409 ;

790 ;

55,505

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Height, X :

ΣX = (60+62+63+66.5+73.5+84) = 409

Weight, Y :

ΣY = (99 + 107 + 111 + 125 + 153 + 195) = 790

Height * weight = ΣXY

(60*99 +62*107 +63*111 +66.5*125 +73.5*153 +84*195) = 55,505

To know If to take the bet, we calculate the strength of the relationship :

Correlation Coefficient :

Using calculator :

The correlation Coefficient = 1 ; meaning that there is a perfect relationship between height and weight. Hence, take the bet.

answer: $34.31

step-by-step explanation:

$11.99 x 3 = $35.97

$35.97 - 10% = $32.37

$32.37 + 6% = $34.31

first, we define the variables:

x: number of years after 1950

f (x): amount of vinyl sold.

then, with the variables defined, we have:

68594 vinyl records were sold in 1958 > f (8) = 68594

91299 vinyl records were sold in 1961 > f (11) = 91299

38720 vinyl records were sold in 1952 > f (2) = 38720

161743 vinyl records were sold in 1967 > f (17) = 161743
