The relationship between the number of hours a person practices a task and the time it takes them to complete the task is calculated to have R-sq = 56.7%. The value of the correlation coefficient is

 0.753.

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the correlation coefficient is denoted by 'r'. It is used to describe the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables.

Given: The relationship between the number of hours a person practices a task and the time it takes them to complete the task is calculated to have R-sq = 56.7%.

= 0.567

Then,

Hence, the value of the correlation coefficient is 0.753.

the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

the root or roots of a polynomial are the values of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to 0. we can find the roots of a polynomial making the expression equal to 0 and then, isolating the variable (it it has just one variable).

for example, given the following polynomial:

the root or zero of the polynomial, can be found by making the expression equal to 0, and then, isolating the variable, so, finding the root we have:

therefore, we have that the root of the polynomial is equal to 2.

we must remember that the number of roots that a polynomial can have, will depend on the degree of the polynomial, a first degree polynomial have will have one single root, a second degree polynomial (quadratic expression) may have two roots and so.

hence the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

have a nice day!
