The table below shows the height (in inches) and weight (in pounds) of eight basketball players
height: 67, 69, 70, 72, 74, 74, 78, 79
weight: 183, 201, 206, 220, 226, 240, 253, 255
what is the correlation coefficient of the set of data? round your answer to the nearest thousandth.
a. -0.946
b. 0.596
c. 0.035
d. 0.981

The correlation coefficient is 0.981

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data of height and weight, we have to find the correlation coefficient

The formula of correlation coefficient is

⇒  

⇒   r = 0.981

Hence correlation coefficient will be 0.981

i dont understand the question? ?

step-by-step explanation:

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
