A strong positive correlation means that as one variable increases so does the other and that they do so in a linear relationship. So what this means is that “as the rainfall increases, the number of peaches a tree produces increases.”

It does not mean that the rainfall causes the tree to produce more peaches. The correlation only establishes that the two variables are related in that one increases as the other does. It is NOT the case that this means for sure one causes the other. We cannot assume causality when using a correlation.

It might be that the rain causes more peaches to grown or it might be that some other factor or combination of factors causes the growth. We just do not know.

Which table shows a proportional relationship between x and y
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

The answer is B (1 , 3) , (2 , 6) , (4 , 12) , (5 , 15)

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ X : 1 , 2 , 4 , 5

∵ Y : 3 , 6 , 12 , 15

∵ 2/6 = 1/3

∵ 4/12 = 1/3

∵ 5/15 = 1/3

∴ 1/3 = 2/6= 4/12 = 5/15 = 1/3 ⇒ all are proportion

∴ Answer B is in proportional relationship

Graph the line with slope <br> 3/4<br><br><br> passing through the point (1,4)<br><br><br> .
Valentin [98]

To graph the line, we must first find out the equation for the line in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b). So far, we only have the slope, so the line's equation is y = 3/4x + b. But, by inserting the values of x and y in the point we know, we can find the y - intercept.


4 = 3/4 + b


b = 13/4


That means that the equation of our line is y = 3/4x + 13/4. Now we can graph. But, there is another way to go about (slightly faster too). Since we know the coordinates of 1 point, we can put that line down. Then, since we know that slope is rise over run, we can say, that with a slope of 3/4, one would go 3 points up for every 4 to the right. Now we can go 3 points up and 4 points to the right of point (1,4). That would be (5, 7). Now we can graph (since we have 2 points, or an equation).


The graph looks like this:

A company is divided into 50,000 shares. An investor purchases 1,000 shares. What percent of the company does the investor own?
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

percentage is per 100.

If we have to find x as percentage of y then

formula for percentage is given by = x/y*100

_______________________________________________

Given

total no. of shares = 50,000

Share bought by investor = 1,000

Percentage of share bought by investor

= Share bought by investor/total no. of shares *100

= (1000/50000)*100 = 2%.

It means that if  there are 100 shares for company then investor owns 2 shares of the company. This makes the qualitative analysis easy.

2% percent of the company does the investor own.

Factor f(x) = 15x^3 - 15x^2 - 90x completely and determine the exact value(s) of the zero(s) and enter them as a comma separated
Illusion [34]

Answer:

x=-2,0,3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a function f(x)=15x^3-15x^2-90x. We are asked to find the zeros of our given function.

To find the zeros of our given function, we will equate our given function by 0 as shown below:

15x^3-15x^2-90x=0

Now, we will factor our equation. We can see that all terms of our equation a common factor that is 15x.

Upon factoring out 15x, we will get:

15x(x^2-x-6)=0

Now, we will split the middle term of our equation into parts, whose sum is -1 and whose product is -6. We know such two numbers are -3\text{ and }2.

15x(x^2-3x+2x-6)=0

15x((x^2-3x)+(2x-6))=0

15x(x(x-3)+2(x-3))=0

15x(x-3)(x+2)=0

Now, we will use zero product property to find the zeros of our given function.

15x=0\text{ (or) }(x-3)=0\text{ (or) }(x+2)=0

15x=0\text{ (or) }x-3=0\text{ (or) }x+2=0

\frac{15x}{15}=\frac{0}{15}\text{ (or) }x-3=0\text{ (or) }x+2=0

x=0\text{ (or) }x=3\text{ (or) }x=-2

Therefore, the zeros of our given function are x=-2,0,3.

Can anyone answer this question please<br> 6[y-2]/7-12=2[y-7]/3
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

y =47.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

First eliminate the fractions by multiplying through by the LCM of 7 and 3 which is 21:

21* 6[y-2]/7-21*12 = 21*2[y-7]/3

18(y - 2) - 252 = 14(y - 7)

18y -36 - 252 = 14y - 98

18y - 14y = -98 + 36 + 252

4y = 190

y = 190/4

y = 47.5.
