Answer:

C) Virginia and Maryland

Explanation:

Washington, D.C. was formed through land ceded by the states of Maryland and Virginia. In 1847, the area that had been ceded by Virginia was returned, nearly all of which is now Arlington County. Construction of Washington began in 1792 and opened in 1800, the same year it became the American capital. Washington was named after the first President of the United States, George Washington, while the term District of Columbia derives from a former United States poetic name, Columbia.

Answer:

Strong positive

Explanation:

In studies, we usually establish relationships between two or more variables using correlations. Correlations tell us how this variables are related.

Two variables have a positive correlation when if one increases the other increases too.
Two variables have a negative correlation when if one increases the other decreases and vice versa.

Also, a correlation can be weak, moderate or strong. Researchers agree that a correlation that is larger than 0.70 should be considered a strong correlation.

In this example Isabella reads about a study saying there's a correlation coefficient of +0.85 between hours spent studying and final exam grade. The fact that the sign of this correlation is "+" tells us that it is positive (the more hours spent studying, the better final exam grade). We can also see that the coefficient is 0.85 which is greater than 0.70 and therefore we can consider this correlation as a strong one.

Thus, Isabella would conclude that this is a strong positive relationship.

Answer:

The neurologist most likely used the functional magnetic resonance imaging

Explanation:

Functional magnetic resonance imaging, abbreviated as fMRI, is used for monitoring and measuring the brain activity by detecting the changes in the blood flow. This imaging technique is based on the principle that when a particular area or region of the brain is being used, the blood flow to that area or region increases.

Therefore, the neurologist most likely used the functional magnetic resonance imaging.
