help me please :/ TABLES RELATED

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A company did a survey among 100 customers to find their car preferences. The customers were asked about their preferences for sedans or hatchbacks. Out of the total 25 people who liked sedans, 15 liked hatchbacks also. There were 40 people who liked hatchbacks. Part A: Summarize the data by writing the values which the alphabets A to I in the table below represent. (5 points)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure the question were right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the question would be legit if it was 50 customers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

huh? i think a is 25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a=15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b=25 d=10 e=50

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so f 60?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a=25 b=25 c 50 d=10 e=50 f 40 g 35 h 75 i 110

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A = 15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i must = 100 since you survey on 100 ppl

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a=15 b=25 c=60 d=10 e=50 f= 40 g=35 h=75 i=100

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that :O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What percentage of the total people did not like either sedans or hatchbacks? soo this is 60%?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d=10 e=50 = 60 so 60% ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

50

OpenStudy (anonymous):

E is ppl who did not like either sedans or hatchbacks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahh ok sweet, will u help me with 1 more question please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Write a function which best fits the data. (3 points) Part C: What does the slope and y-intercept of the plot indicate? (

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im clueless

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(x) = 90-4x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y the 4 x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

slope = -4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do we find tht out :O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well y keep decrasing when x is increasing right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and @x=0 y=90

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you set 90-(something)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how to we find the soething

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(0) =90 f(1) = 86 ---> 90-4 f(2) = 82 ---> 90-8 f(3) = 78 ---> 90-12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahhh i get it now ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but What does the slope and y-intercept of the plot indicate?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

slope is delta y/ deta x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pick any point on the graph from left to right as ((x1,y1),(x2,y2))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 86 , 4,74?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so (74-86)/(4-1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes so this indicates going down at a -4 slope?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok , can i ask u 1 more question, i promise no more

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y-intercept f(x)=90-4x 0=90-4x x=90/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure keep asking. I'm here to help

George has found a relationship between the number of people at an amusement park in the afternoon and the air temperature, in degrees Celsius. The table below shows the data collected by George. Temperature (in degrees Celsius) (x) 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Number of people at the amusement park in the afternoon (y) 200 190 181 172 160 150 140 130 120 Part A: What would most likely be the number of people at the amusement park in the afternoon if the temperature is 35 degrees Celsius? (3 points) Part B: Predict a possible correlation coefficient for the data in the table and explain why you think your prediction is a good value for the data. (4 points) Part C: George says that if a discount is given on the price of tickets at the amusement park, the number of people at the park would increase. Is this an example of correlation or causation? Justify your answer. (3 points)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a im confised its going down 10 sometimes, but sometimes it dosnt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey u here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

eq

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is f(x)=-10x +400

OpenStudy (anonymous):

waa

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if x=35 number of ppl would be 50

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok wats do u think for part b?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hang on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which grade are you in? u use formula to find correlation coefficient ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u use formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this the x2 y2 1 again?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got -10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's the slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is part c causesion because it is directly effecting the number of people

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in part be the correct answer with the formula would be -0.9997

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have to go now but thank you so much for all your help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure
