- Explain the difference between a positive and anegative correlation coefficient.arrow_forwardUse this data for the exercises that follow: In 2013, there were roughly 317 million citizens in the United States, and about 40 million were elderly (aged 65 and over).[34] 57. If you meet five U.S. citizens, what is the percent chance that exactly one is elderly?

Let x be the number of times Carol comes up to bat and let y be the number of times Pete comes to bat. a. If Carl bats 7 times and Pete bats 3 times, what should ther overall batting average be? b. If a total of 50 times at bat, how many times may Pete bat in order for their combined average to be as close as possible to .300? (define 3 variables, write system and solve)arrow_forward
- Sam wants to take his music player and his video game player on a car trip. An hour before they planned to leave, he realized that he forgot to charge the batteries last night. At that point, he plugged in both devices so they can charge if possible before they leave. Sam knows that his music player has 40% of its battery life left and that the battery charges by an additional 12 percentage points every 15 minutes. His video game player is new, so Sam doesn’t know how fast it is charging but he recorded the battery charge for the first 30 minutes after he plugged it in. a. If Sam’s family leaves as planned, what percent of the battery will be charged for each of the two devices when they leave?arrow_forwardYou put n = 20 rats in a cage that is in a room with a 65-degree temperature. The next day you put them in a cage with a 70-degree temperature. On the final day of the study you put them in a cage with a 75-degree temperature. For each of the three days, you measure how many minutes of each hour they spent running on their exercise wheel. To compare the time they spent running on the wheel between the three different days (in other words, between the three different temperatures of 65, 70, and 75 degrees), what kind of hypothesis test should you do?
