Answer: 0.9839

Step-by-step explanation:

X Values

∑ = 15

Mean = 3

∑(X - Mx)2 = SSx = 10

Y Values

∑ = 35

Mean = 7

∑(Y - My)2 = SSy = 50

X and Y Combined

N = 5

∑(X - Mx)(Y - My) = 22

R Calculation

r = ∑((X - My)(Y - Mx)) / √((SSx)(SSy))

r = 22 / √((10)(50)) = 0.9839

Meta Numerics (cross-check)

r = 0.9839

Answer:

C. 7

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the problem, we have to find [tex]y[/tex] which refers to the mean of y-values.

So, we just have to find the mean:

[tex]y=\frac{3+5+6+9+12}{5}=\frac{35}{5}=7[/tex]

Therefore, the right answer is C.

Remember that the mean is defined as the quotient betwene the sum of all values, and the total number of them. In this case, the sum is 35 and the total number is 5.
