<h2>Answer:</h2>

A positive relation between two things means that they are proportional to each other. One affects the other thing.

1) Smoking and cases of lung cancer. This is positive. As smoking affects lungs and can cause lung cancer. So, with increased smoking comes the increased risk of lung cancer thus increasing cases of lung cancer.

2) Amount of time spent at school each day and number of text sent per day - These two events are independent of each other. They are not based on each other. Hence, no relationship here.

A negative relation implies that if one thing increases, the other decreases.

3) The number of licks taken and the size of the Tootsie Pop. This is negative. As the number of licks increases, the size of the pop decreases.

Evaluate the expression (-4+4i)(1+4i)(1+4i) and write the result in the form a+bi

allsm [11]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 2 of the 3 binomials are identical I would start the distribution there.

(1 + 4i)(1 + 4i) = $1+8i+16i^2$

I'm sure you have learned in class by now that i-squared is = to -1, so we can make that substitution:

1 + 8i + 16(-1) which simpifies to

1 + 8i - 16 which simplifies further to

-15 + 8i. Now we need to FOIL in the last binomial:

(-15 + 8i)(-4 + 4i) = $60-60i-32i+32i^2$

Combine like terms to get

$60-92i+32i^2$

Again make the substitution of i-squared = -1:

60 - 92i + 32(-1) which simplifies to

60 - 92i - 32 which simpifies, finally, to a solution of:

28 - 92i

diego is collecting pennies and estimated that he has 120 pennies. he counted them and has 80 pennies. what is diego's percentag

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percent error is equal to the absolute value, difference of the measured value or your experimental value minus the actual value divided by the actual value times 100%;

Here we have;

Measured Valued = 120 pennies

Actual Value = 80 pennies

% error = $\frac{|Measured - Actual|}{Actual} * 100$

% error = $\frac{|120 - 80|}{80} * 100$

% error = $\frac{|40|}{80} * 100$

% error = $\frac{40}{80} * 100$

% error = 50%

So, 50% is the percent error for Diego

There are 45 red tiles,25 blue tiles and 30 green tiles in a bag.

Mazyrski [523]

This is a question of probability.
Probability of picking any color= number of tiles with that color/total number of tiles
Total=45+25+30=100
P(red tile)=(45/100)x60=0.45x60=27
P(blue tile)=(25/100)x60=0.25x60=15
P(green tiles)=(30/100)x60=0.3x60=18

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Option b, c and e are wonderful approaches to solve the problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

Option (b) is appropriate this is because the option is talking about Simple random sampling where random universities are chosen to remove bias.

Option (c) is correct because this is an example of Stratified sampling where two homogenous groups (private and public universities are considered) and samples are chosen at random to remove bias

Option (e) is correct because this again is an example of Simple random sampling where 60 random STEM majors are chosen at random.
