How sensitive to changes in water temperature are coral reefs? To find out, scientists examined data on sea surface temperatures and coral growth per year at locations in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. Scientists examined data on mean sea surface temperatures (in degrees Celsius) and mean coral growth (in centimeters per year) over a several‑year period at locations in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. The table shows the data for the Gulf of Mexico.

Sea surface temperature 26.7 26.6 26.6 26.5 26.3 26.1
Growth 0.85 0.85 0.79 0.86 0.89 0.92

a) Use software to find the mean and standard deviation of both sea surface temperature ?x and growth ?y and then find the correlation ?r between ?x and ?.y. Enter your answers in the answer fields using the specific decimal place precision noted.

?¯ (rounded to four decimal places)=

?? (rounded to four decimal places)=

?¯ (rounded to two decimal places)=

?? (rounded to four decimal places)=

? (rounded to four decimal places)=

(b) Use these basic measures to find the equation of the least‑squares line for predicting ?y from ?.x. Give the slope and the intercept, rounding both to four decimal places.

slope=

intercept=

(c) Choose the best explanation that describes in words what the numerical value of the slope tells you.

Every increase in coral growth of one centimeter will result in an average of 5.255.25 more degrees Celsius of sea surface temperature per year.

Every increase in coral growth of one centimeter will result in an average of 5.255.25 fewer degrees Celsius of sea surface temperature per year.

Every increase in sea surface temperature of one degree Celsius will result in an average of 0.15780.1578 more centimeters of coral growth per year.

Every increase in sea surface temperature of one degree Celsius will result in an average of 0.15780.1578 fewer centimeters of coral growth per year.

Characterize the changes that occur in peer relations during adolescence. How does this affect big social service issues such as gang behavior, teen pregnancy, and teens dropping out of school? Write about the role peer pressure played (or still plays) in your life. What were the results of your conformity? What might occur during identity formation that might lead an individual to continue to succumb to peer pressure later in life? What might have contributed to the development of individuals who are independent thinkers and nonconformists?

Hello,

I’m having some trouble making changes to the Cellphone and the associated tester class;

Any help is appreciated !

  1. Cellphone class;

-Implement both get and set methods for all 3 attributes or fields of the class

- Fields/Attributes are all initialized using the setter methods and there’s no need to initialize them using the contractor.

2) Tester Class;

-Create the objects using the default constructor. This is the constructor with no parameter

-Call the set methods of all 3 fields/attributes to set their initial values.

-No changes to the other functionalities of the tester class.

Exercise 11-11 Effects of Changes in Profits and Assets on Return on Investment (ROI) [LO11-1]

[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]

Fitness Fanatics is a regional chain of health clubs. The managers of the clubs, who have authority to make investments as needed, are evaluated based largely on return on investment (ROI). The company's Springfield Club reported the following results for the past year:

Sales $ 820,000
Net operating income $ 22,140
Average operating assets $ 100,000


The following questions are to be considered independently.

Exercise 11-11 Part 1

Required:

1. Compute the Springfield club’s return on investment (ROI). (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Exercise 11-11 Part 2

2. Assume that the manager of the club is able to increase sales by $82,000 and that, as a result, net operating income increases by $6,724. Further assume that this is possible without any increase in average operating assets. What would be the club’s return on investment (ROI)? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Exercise 11-11 Part 3

3. Assume that the manager of the club is able to reduce expenses by $3,280 without any change in sales or average operating assets. What would be the club’s return on investment (ROI)? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Exercise 11-11 Part 4

4. Assume that the manager of the club is able to reduce average operating assets by $50,000 without any change in sales or net operating income. What would be the club’s return on investment (ROI)? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
