Could you please help me with my question? I pretty much know how to do it im just want someone to walk me through this.

OpenStudy (jackofalltradez):

Sure :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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 ;) )

OpenStudy (jackofalltradez):

@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 :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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?

OpenStudy (jackofalltradez):

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)

OpenStudy (jackofalltradez):

Exactly :D

OpenStudy (jackofalltradez):

y = number of sweaters sold

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So 142?

OpenStudy (jackofalltradez):

Yep

OpenStudy (jackofalltradez):

Now for B :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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?

OpenStudy (jackofalltradez):

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

OpenStudy (jackofalltradez):

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!
