Which of the following relationships represents a no correlation between two variables?

 

The best way to visualize the student’s score for each subject is to plot them using a bar graph.

We convert the given word problem into a mathematical expression.

Let the number be x.

Thrice a number = 3x

Twelve less than thrice a number = 3x-12

Thus, the required mathematical expression is 3x-12

: a ratio can be thought of a fraction of the form a/b, where b is not equal to zero. In ratio form, to means per.

Now, the class has 26 girls and 22 boys. Thus, the ratio of girls to boys becomes:

The fraction above reduces into

In ratio form, girls: boys=13:11

Thus, the ratio of girls to boys in a class of 48 students is 13 to 11.

Histograms are used to present frequency of data of one variable over the other. On the other hand, a bar graph is used to compare the two variables with the rectangles not touching one another as in histograms. Scatter plots are used to show the correlations between two variables. In this case, the teacher will be able to use scatter plot to establish the correlation between test scores and the subjects.

Correlation of two variables falls into:

Positive correlation: an increase in one variable causes another variable to increase

Negative correlation: an increase in one variable causes another one to decrease

No correlation: a change in one variable does not cause any response in another variable.

From the given choices

Option a is no correlation

Option b is a negative correlation

Option c is a negative correlation

Option d is a positive correlation

Thus, the correct statement is a.

We need to find the radius in order to find the area of the pizza.

Radius of pizza

The area of the pizza

But r=4.5

Thus, the area of the pizza is 20.25  in2.

NOTE:  is used as is since values of pi may vary e.g. 3.14, 3.142, 22/7. Hence we use pi symbol to generalize.

: we are needed to find the portion of burger the two other friends share between themselves. A whole burger is 1, and we know that,

One friend=1/4 of 1=1/4*1=1/4

Remaining amount=1-1/4=4/4-1/4=3/4

Thus, ¾ of burger is left for two friends to share among themselves. Then, each friend will get

So, the other two friends will each get 3/8 of the burger.

An independent variable is a variable that when changed result in a change to other variables under investigation. From the given scenario, if the stock of the company increases, then the production, sales, and investment increase. Therefore, stock is the independent variable while other variables are dependent.

correlations fall into positive, negative, and no correlation. A positive correlation shows that an increase in one variable increase results in an increase on the other variable increases as shown.

A negative correlation scatter plot shows that an increase in one variable results in a decrease on the other one.

The no-correlation scatter plot demonstrates that there is no response between variables. A change in one variable has no effect on the other variable.

Looking at the provided scatter plot, the heights of the students does not have any relationship on the students’ scores. Thus, the type of correlation is no correlation.

: We need to find the total rainfall for the months of May, June, and July using the given graph.

In the month of May, rainfall is between 3 and 4, which is halfway. Therefore, rainfall in May is 3.5 inches

On June, rainfall was 3 inch and on July the rainfall was 2.5 inches. Thus,

Total rainfall=3.5 inches+3 inches+ 2.5 inches=9.0 inches
