In a study of the relationship between geographical mobility (number of times a person has changed residences) and number of friends, pearson's r2 is reported as .40. which of the following would be a correct interpretation? mobility explains 40% of the variation in number of friends there is a strong positive relationship between number of friends and mobility as mobility increases, number of friends decreases mobility explains 16% of the variation in number of friends

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in a study of the relationship between geographical mobility (number of times a person has changed residences) and number of friends, Pearson's r^2 is reported as .40.

r square, being the coefficient of determination explains the variablity of one variable due to the variability of the other.  Here Mobility explains 40% variation in the number of friends is right answer.

Option B is wrong because r = ±6324, so cannot say positive or negative.

Similarly option c is wrong because we are unsure whether negative correlation.  Option d is wrong since 16% is not right .

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

25x^2 + 90x + 84

discussion:

mn(x) = m(n(x)) = m( 5x + 9) =

(5x + 9)^2 + 3 =>

25x^2 + 90x + 9^2 + 3 =

25x^2 + 90x + 84                 (as 9^2 = 9*9 = 81)

which is the second choice

p.s.   i'll be on vacation from friday, dec 22 to jan 2, 2019. have a great new year!
