Consider the sample 2,4,7,8,9. Find the mean, x?

A random variable assumes a unique numerical value for each of the outcomes in a sample space of a probability experiment. This is called the random variable value. Numerical random variables can be subdivided into two classifications.

They are:

The regression output and scatterplot are for average commercial insurance payments, in thousands of dollars, made to ten hospitals in a certain city for heart valve surgery vs. coronary bypass surgery. Which is these is your best guess for the correlation?

The relationship between average reading and average writing SAT score was examined for a sample of 19 schools. The relationship is apparently:

A masters thesis by M. Purser at the University of Washington in 1988 looked at soil densities in a conifer forest, before and after clearcut logging in the area. These histograms show 32 pre-logging densities and 38 post-logging densities, recorded in grams per cubic centimeter. Unlike most before-and-after designs, this was a two-sample study: the same sample of soil could not be assessed twice. First compare the histograms centers: when were the densities higher on average?
