I need help with mainly A
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I just help with small things on B and C
OpenStudy (jackofalltradez):
OK, what is the pattern? Knowing that is the most important thing for this question.
(If you're stumped, I figured it out ;) )

@yoyogators
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Okay hold on
OpenStudy (anonymous):
The x goes up 2 as the y goes down by 8
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So it is a negative slope
OpenStudy (jackofalltradez):
Correct :)

So just keep subtracting 8 from that number until i reach 27?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Or is there an easier way to do it?
OpenStudy (jackofalltradez):
There is an easier way. I'm making a formula for you right now :)
OpenStudy (jackofalltradez):
y = 250 - 4x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Wait would it be 154?

Nope
OpenStudy (jackofalltradez):
Use the formula
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Okay so x would be 27 correct?
OpenStudy (jackofalltradez):
Correct :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So y = 250 - 4(27)

Exactly :D
OpenStudy (jackofalltradez):
y = number of sweaters sold
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So 142?
OpenStudy (jackofalltradez):
Yep
OpenStudy (jackofalltradez):
Now for B :)

Negative right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
The correlation would be negative?
OpenStudy (jackofalltradez):
The correlation is negative :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So what is a coefficient?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Would the "Correlation coefficient" still be negative?

4 in 4x is a coefficient. But I would have to look up correlation coefficient
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So what should i put down? The correlation coefficient is negative?
OpenStudy (jackofalltradez):
Yep. The correlation coefficient is negative and strong. That's the answer to B
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Part c would be causation right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Because causation is something that is caused from something that wouldnt usually happen

Causation, because the discount would cause the number of sweaters sold to increase. So yes, you're right :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Okay thank you very much Sir!
