When the correlation between x and y is zero, what is the best prediction of a y score that can be made from a given x score?

The mean of y

Step-by-step explanation:

In statistics, correlation is the degree of the linear relationship between two variables. The correlation coefficient is the numerical measure of the linear relationship of two variables, It is measured in the range -1 to 1. When the coefficient is negative, the variables are said to have a negative correlation, while it is a positive correlation or have a strong linear relationship if the correlation coefficient is positive.

When the correlation coefficient is zero, both variables have no linear relationship and the best predictions of each variable would be the mean.

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
