Two college roommates have each committed to donating to charity each week for the next year. The roommates’ weekly incomes are

independent of each other. Suppose the amount donated in a week by one roommate is approximately normal with mean $30 and standard deviation $10, and the amount donated in a week by the other roommate is approximately normal with mean $60 and standard deviation $20. Which of the following is closest to the expected number of weeks in a 52-week year that their combined donation will exceed $120 ?0; the combined donation never exceeds $120 in a weekA1 weekB3 weeksC5 weeksD8 weeks

The answer is C. 5 weeks. To find how many weeks the total donations exceed $120, we start with two independent normally-distributed variables X and Y. First, we calculate the probability that their sum exceeds $120. The expected number of weeks can subsequently be computed by multiplying the probability of exceeding $120 by the number of weeks in a year, which is 52. The closest answer given is C. 5 weeks.

A botanist found a correlation between the length of an aspen leaf and its surface area to be 0.94. Why does the correlation val
zzz [11776]

Answer:

A correlation coefficient of +1 or -1 reflects a perfect linear relationship, but a 0.94 indicates a strong positive correlation between the aspen leaf's length and surface area, though not guaranteeing linearity.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correlation coefficient (r) ranges between +1 and −1, where +1 means perfect positive correlation, −1 means perfect negative correlation, and 0 means no correlation.

The closer r is to ±1, the stronger the correlation. Generally, values between 0.7 and 1, or −0.7 and −1, indicate a significant correlation.

While 0.94 shows a strong direct association between the leaf's length and surface area, it does not definitively prove a linear relationship is the best fit.

Lorne subtracted 6x3 – 2x + 3 from –3x3 + 5x2 + 4x – 7. Use the drop-down menus to identify the steps Lorne used to find the dif
Inessa [12078]
To simplify the expression:
-(6 x^3 - 2 x + 3) - 3 x^3 + 5 x^2 + 4 x - 7

Start with - (6 x^3 - 2 x + 3) = -6 x^3 + 2 x - 3:
-6 x^3 + 2 x - 3 - 3 x^3 + 5 x^2 + 4 x - 7

Next, combine similar terms: -3 x^3 - 6 x^3 + 5 x^2 + 4 x + 2 x - 7 - 3 = (-3 x^3 - 6 x^3) + 5 x^2 + (4 x + 2 x) + (-7 - 3):
(-3 x^3 - 6 x^3) + 5 x^2 + (4 x + 2 x) + (-7 - 3)

-3 x^3 - 6 x^3 results in -9 x^3:
-9 x^3 + 5 x^2 + (4 x + 2 x) + (-7 - 3)

Combine 4 x and 2 x to get 6 x:
-9 x^3 + 5 x^2 + 6 x + (-7 - 3)

The operation -7 - 3 yields -10:
-9 x^3 + 5 x^2 + 6 x - 10

Factoring out -1 from -9 x^3 + 5 x^2 + 6 x - 10 leads to:
Final Answer: - (9 x^3 - 5 x^2 - 6 x + 10)
