Based on the data, the most likely correlation coefficient would be -1.
The slope between 20 and 30 days is -1, and it represents the change in the surface area of the lake per day.
The data represents correlation, not causation.
Since the data would form a perfectly straight line through the points, the correlation coefficient would be -1 for a perfect decreasing fit.
To find the slope, find the change in the surface area between those days, the change in the days, and write it as surface area/days: 80-90=-10; 30-20=10; -10/10=-1
This is not causation because there could be lurking variables we cannot see.
Answer:
Continuous
Step-by-step explanation:
The rate of flow of water down the river is referred to as its speed. Thus the speed changes with respect to the distance covered. Which implies that there is a direct relationship between the distance covered (in miles) by the water flow and time taken (in hours).
The relationship between hours and miles the water traveled is continuous.
X² + x - 20 = 0
x² = x * x
x = the sum of the factors of -20
-20 ⇒ 1 x 20
2 x 10
- 4 x 5 ⇒ only these factors can arrive to a sum of 1
(x - 4)(x + 5) = x(x+5) - 4(x+5) = x² + 5x - 4x - 20 = x² + x - 20
x - 4 = 0
x = 4
x + 5 = 0
x = -5
A Yes, because fraction 89 plus 97 divided by 2 is 93
