Help! -le flail- Will Medal

Answer 1

this is the table

Answer 2

Part A: What would most likely be the number of sweaters sold if the temperature is 27 degrees Celsius?

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.

Part C: George says that if a discount is given on the sweaters, the sale of sweaters would increase. Is this an example of correlation or causation? Justify your answer.

Answer 3

Do you know how to solve it?

Answer 4

To be honest I probably would understand it if I didn't have a splitting headache from the construction going on outside.... I would really appreciate the help

Answer 5

what is the pattern? number of sweaters sold is decreasing by the same value

Answer 6

decreasing by 8 per every -2 degrees c?

Answer 7

yeah so now we can say that for every one degree
the value is decreasing by 4

Answer 8

so A would be 142

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

okay! cool, on to part B!

Answer 11

ok so lets make a function out of the data since its linear we can use y=mx + b

Answer 12

what is the slope m
rise/run

Answer 13

4?

Answer 14

yes because for every one x there is 4 up

Answer 15

but the table has intervals of 2 degrees, so wouldn't it be 8?

Answer 16

you could say 8/2
8 y for every 2 x
but 8/2 = 4

Answer 17

so is that the slope or the answer or what. sorry man theyre digging up some sort of water line and my ears are practically ringing T.T
