Step-by-step explanation:

a. Covariance = 10.11
b. Correlation coefficient = 0.376

Considering the following sample data:

x 12 18 20 22 25

y 15 20 25 22 27

a. Calculation of covariance

Covariance can be calculated by the formula:

Cov (X, Y) = [Σ(X - μx) (Y - μy)] / n

where, Σ denotes the sum of, X and Y are the variables, μx and μy are the means of X and Y respectively, and n is the sample size.

x  y  x-μx  y-μy  (x-μx)(y-μy) (-)^2  (-)^2

12  15  -6.6  -5.6  37.12  43.56  31.36

25  27  6.4  2.4  15.36  41.16  5.76

Σx = 97, Σy = 109, Σ(x-μx) = 5.00, Σ(y-μy) = -2.00, Σ(x-μx)(y-μy) = 50.56

Covariance is: Cov (X, Y) = [Σ(X - μx) (Y - μy)] / n= 50.56/5= 10.11

Thus, the covariance between the variables is 10.11.

b-1. Calculation of correlation coefficient.

Correlation coefficient is a statistical measure that measures the degree to which two random variables are associated. It can be calculated by the formula:

= Cov (X, Y) /  where, Cov (X, Y) is the covariance between X and Y, σX and σY are the standard deviations of X and Y respectively.

σx2 = [Σ(x-μx)2] / (n-1)σy2 = [Σ(y-μy)2] / (n-1)σx = √[Σ(x-μx)2] / (n-1)σy = √[Σ(y-μy)2] / (n-1)

x  y  (x-μx)  (y-μy)  (x-μx)2  (y-μy)2  (-)(-)

12  15  -6.6          -5.6         43.56  31.36               1  

18  -0.6  -0.6          0.36         0.36  0.32                5

20  25    1.4          4.4          1.96          19.36               22  

22  3.4  -2.6          11.56  6.76          -8.84                25  

27  6.4  2.4          41.16  5.76          15.36

Σx = 97, Σy = 109, Σ(x-μx) = 5.00, Σ(y-μy) = -2.00, Σ(x-μx)(y-μy) = 50.56

σx2 = 30.70

σy2 = 25.70

σx = √30.70 = 5.54

σy = √25.70 = 5.07

Correlation coefficient is:

= Cov (X, Y) /  = 10.11 / (5.54*5.07)= 0.376

Thus, the correlation coefficient is 0.376.

The basketball will reach its maximum height 1.735 seconds after it has been thrown vertically into the air.

A function is a relationship between a set of inputs and a set of possible outputs with the property that each input is related to exactly one output. A function can be represented as an equation, a graph, a table of values, or a verbal description. For example, the function f(x) = 2x + 1 represents a relationship between the input x and the output 2x + 1.

To find the maximum height of the basketball, we need to find the vertex of the parabola represented by the function f(x). The vertex of x-coordinate is:

x = -b/2a

The coefficients of the quadratic equation a[tex]x^2[/tex] + b[tex]x[/tex] + c are a, b, and c. In this case, a = -4.9 and b = 17, so:

x = -17/(2*(-4.9)) = 1.735 (rounded to 3 decimal places)

Answer:

We can start by using the formula:

distance = speed x time

We know that Oliver traveled 66 miles in 4 hours, so we can use this information to find his speed:

speed = distance / time

speed = 66 miles / 4 hours

speed = 16.5 miles per hour

Now that we know Oliver's speed, we can use the same formula to find how many miles he could travel in 14 hours:

distance = speed x time

distance = 16.5 miles per hour x 14 hours

distance = 231 miles

Therefore, Oliver could travel 231 miles in 14 hours at this speed.

What is Integration ?

In calculus, integration is the inverse operation of differentiation. It is a mathematical technique used to find the integral of a function. The integral of a function f(x) is another function F(x), which gives the area under the curve of f(x) from a certain point to another.

To perform the integration of the given function:

∫(2x-1)÷([tex]x^{2}[/tex]-x-6)dx

First, we need to factor the denominator:

[tex]x^{2}[/tex]- x - 6 = (x-3)(x+2)

So we can rewrite the integral as:

∫(2x-1)÷[(x-3)(x+2)]dx

Next, we need to decompose the fraction into partial fractions:

(2x-1)÷[(x-3)(x+2)] = A÷(x-3) + B÷(x+2)

Multiplying both sides by (x-3)(x+2), we get:

2x-1 = A(x+2) + B(x-3)

Substituting x=3, we get:

5A = 5

A = 1

Substituting x=-2, we get:

-5B = -5

B = 1

So we have:

(2x-1)÷[(x-3)(x+2)] = 1÷(x-3) + 1÷(x+2)

Substituting this back into the integral, we get:

∫(2x-1)÷[(x-3)(x+2)]dx = ∫[1÷(x-3) + 1÷(x+2)]dx

Using the first rule of integration, we get:

∫[1÷(x-3) + 1÷(x+2)]dx = ln|x-3| + ln|x+2| + C

where C is the constant of integration.

Therefore, the final answer is: ∫(2x-1)/[(x-3)(x+2)]dx = ln|x-3| + ln|x+2| + C

The distance from first base to dead center field in a certain baseball stadium is 338 feet.

Explanation:

The distance from first base to dead center field in a certain baseball stadium is 338 feet. Given,The distance from home plate to dead center field in a certain baseball stadium is 407 feet.A baseball diamond is a square with a distance from home plate to first base of 90 feet.

To find,How far is it from first base to dead center field?

Solution:Given that the distance from home plate to dead center field is 407 feet.The baseball diamond is a square with a distance from home plate to first base of 90 feet.Now we have to find the distance from first base to dead center field.We can find the distance by using the Pythagorean theorem which states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.Let us consider a right triangle ABC where AB represents the distance from home plate to first base, AC represents the distance from home plate to dead center field, and BC represents the distance from first base to dead center field.

As per the Pythagorean theorem, we have

AC² = AB² + BC²

Putting the values, we have

AC² = (90)² + BC²AC² = 8100 + BC²AC² - BC² = 8100

Taking the square root on both sides, we getAC = √(8100 + BC²)

Now we have AC = 407 ft,AB = 90 ftAC² = AB² + BC²407² = 90² + BC²BC² = 407² - 90²BC² = 165649BC = √165649BC = 407 ft - 90 ft

BC = 338 ft

Therefore, the distance from first base to dead center field in a certain baseball stadium is 338 feet.

To show how x² + 6x + 5 is equivalent to (x + 5)(x + 1), we can use the FOIL method, which stands for First, Outer, Inner, and Last.

First, we multiply the first term of each factor: x and x, which gives x².

Next, we multiply the outer terms of each factor: x and 1, which gives x.

Then, we multiply the inner terms of each factor: 5 and x, which gives 5x.

Finally, we multiply the last term of each factor: 5 and 1, which gives 5.

Adding up these terms, we get:

x² + x + 5x + 5

Simplifying by combining like terms, we get:

x² + 6x + 5

False: It is the same to reflect the graph of y = cos x across the y-axis as it is across the x-axis.

A 180° rotation about the origin is a transformation that would have the same outcome as a reflection over the x-axis followed by a reflection over the y-axis. The x-coordinate of each point must be negated while reflecting across the Y axis, but the -value must remain unchanged.

By graphing y=-f(x), we may reflect the graph of any function f about the x-axis, and by graphing y=f, we can reflect the graph about the y-axis (-x). By graphing y=-f, we can even reflect it about both axes (-x).

The probability of observing an 84°F temperature or higher in LA during a randomly chosen day in June is 0.1151 and the temperature of the coldest 10% of the days (days with lowest average high temperature) during June in LA is approximately 71.6°F.

Let X be the random variable that represents the average daily high temperature in LA in June. Then X ~ N(μ = 78, σ = 5). The probability of observing an 84°F temperature or higher in LA during a randomly chosen day in June is given by: P(X > 84) = P(Z > (84 - 78) / 5) = P(Z > 1.2) = 0.1151 (rounded to 4 decimal places)

To find the temperature of the coldest 10% of the days (days with lowest average high temperature) during June in LA, we need to find the 10th percentile of the distribution. Using a z-score table, we can find the z-score corresponding to the 10th percentile: z = -1.28. Thus, the temperature of the coldest 10% of the days during June in LA is given by: x = μ + zσ= 78 + (-1.28)(5)≈ 71.6°F (rounded to 1 decimal place)

[tex]y=x^2+10x+8=(x+5)^{2}-17[/tex]

Answer:

y = (x + 5)^2 - 17

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the quadratic function y = x^2 + 10x + 8 in vertex form, we need to complete the square. We start by adding and subtracting the square of half of the coefficient of x, which is (10/2)^2 = 25:

y = x^2 + 10x + 8

= (x^2 + 10x + 25) - 25 + 8

= (x + 5)^2 - 17

Therefore, the quadratic function in vertex form is:

y = (x + 5)^2 - 17

The vertex of this parabola is at the point (-5, -17), and the axis of symmetry is the vertical line x = -5. The term (-17) represents the minimum value of the function.

To solve this equation, we need to use the order of operations, which is PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction).

First, we need to simplify the expression inside the parentheses:

6 - 3/3(7x + 2) = 6(8 - 3)

6 - 1(7x + 2) = 6(5)

6 - 7x - 2 = 30

4 - 7x = 30

Next, we need to isolate the variable (x) on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 4 from both sides:

4 - 7x - 4 = 30 - 4

-7x = 26

Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides by -7:

x = -26/7

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -26/7.

From the given data, the effectiveness of epoetin alfa, which is a medication used to treat anemia, can be determined through a blood test called a complete blood count (CBC).

The CBC measures the number of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets in the blood, as well as the levels of hemoglobin and hematocrit.

In patients receiving epoetin alfa, the goal is to increase the hemoglobin level and hematocrit to a target range that is appropriate for their condition. Therefore, monitoring these levels through regular CBCs can help determine whether the medication is effective and whether the dosage needs to be adjusted.

The coordinates of point Y are (10 - x1, 4y1 - 10), where (x1, y1) are the coordinates of point T.

If W is the midpoint of segment TY, then the coordinates of W are the average of the coordinates of T and Y. Using the midpoint formula, we can find the coordinates of Y:

Let the coordinates of T be (x1, y1) and the coordinates of Y be (x2, y2).

x-coordinate of W = (x-coordinate of T + x-coordinate of Y) / 2

y-coordinate of W = (y-coordinate of T + y-coordinate of Y) / 2

Putting in the coordinates of W and T, we get:  5 = (x1 + x2) / 2

y-coordinate of Y = 2y1 - y-coordinate of W

y-coordinate of Y = 2y1 - (y1 + y2) / 2

Simplifying these equations, we get:

x1 + x2 = 10

y2 = 4y1 - 10

From the first equation, we can solve for x2:  x2 = 10 - x1

Putting this into the second equation, we get:  y2 = 4y1 - 10

The values of the variables can be proved by solving the the equations to get;

8. y = 3

9. k = -2

10. w = 14

11. x = -9

An equation is a statement that indicates that two expressions are equivalent by joining them with the '=' sign.

The method used to prove the value of the variable is by solving the equations as follows;

8. (5·y - 1)/2 = 7

Therefore;

2 × 7 = 5·y - 1

14 = 5·y - 1

5·y = 14 + 1 = 15

y = 15/5 = 3

y = 3

9. 10·k - 4 = 2·k - 20

Therefore;

10·k - 2·k = 8·k = 4 - 20 = -16

8·k = -16

k = -16/8 = -2

Therefore;

k = -2

10. -8·(w + 1) = -5·(w + 10)

-8·w - 8 = -5·w - 50

Therefore;

-5·w + 8·w = 50 - 8 = 42

3·w = 42

w = 42/3 = 14

Therefore;

w = 14

11. 14 - 2·(x + 8) = 5·x - (3·x - 34)

Therefore;

14 - 2·x - 16 = 5·x - 3·x + 34

14 - 2·x - 16 = -2·x - 2

5·x - 3·x + 34 = 2·x + 34

Therefore;

-2·x - 2 = 2·x + 34

2·x + 2·x = -2 - 34 = -36

4·x = -36

x = -36/4 = -9

x = -9
