For the following pair of variables, state the units that might be used to measure each variable. Then state whether you believe

that the two variables are correlated. If you believe they are correlated, state whether the comrelation is positive or negative. Explain your reasoning. The heights and weights of 50 randomly selected females between the ages of 1 and 21 To measure height, the unit might be used. To measure weight, the unit might be used. What correlation, if any, is there between the variables?
A. There is a positive correlation because women's weight tend to increase when height decreases
B. There is a negative correlation because women's weight tend to increase when height decreases.
C. There is a positive correlation because women's weight tend to increase when height increases
D. There is a negative correlation because women's weight tend to increase when height increases.
E. The variables are not correlated.

Answer:

The correct answer is:

There is a positive correlation because women's weight tend to increase when height increases (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

The units that might be used to measure each variable are:

Height : meter (m) or foot (plural, feet) (Ft.)

weight : kilograms (kg) or Pounds (lb)

A positive correlation is said to occur between two variables when they both move in the same direction, that is, when they both increase or decrease, while a negative correlation occurs when the movement is not in tandem, i.e, as one increases, the other decreases. The relationship between height and weight is a positive correlation because, an increase in height, which is mainly as a result of elongation of bones, leads to an accumulated increase in total body mass, which in turn increases the body weight.

Which relationship is always true for the angles x, y, and z of triangle ABC? A triangle is shown with a leg extending past the
nlexa [21]

Answer:

y+z=x

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The <u>Exterior Angle Property of a Triangle</u> states that the measure of exterior angle of a triangle is equals to the sum of measures of its interior opposite angles

In this problem

Angle y and angle z are interior angles of triangle ABC and angle x is a exterior angle of triangle ABC

therefore

Applying the Exterior Angle Property of a Triangle

y+z=x

Use the T-table below to determine 3 solutions to this equation: y = 2x
Jet001 [13]
The table is attached as a figure

The given equation is ⇒⇒⇒⇒ y = 2x
To solve this equation, we need to pick numbers from the table then this number will be substituted into the equation to find y
we need 3 solutions . so, we need to pick 3 numbers of x
From the table, let us choose x = 0
y = 2x
y = 2 * (0)
y = 0

From the table, let choose second value of x such as x = 1
y = 2 * (1)
y = 2

From the table, let choose third value of x such as x = -1
y = 2 * (-1)
y = -2

So, the picked three solutions are
y = 0  at   x = 0
y = -2  at  x = -1
y = 2 at  x = 1

If the angle NME = x+97, the angle EML = x+66, and the angle NML = 141, find the angle EML
defon

Answer:

∠ EML = 94°

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached diagram.

The three angles ∠ NME, ∠ EML and ∠ NML together make 360°.

Now, ∠ NME = x + 97, ∠ EML = x + 66 and ∠ NML = 141°

Hence, (x + 97) + ( x + 66) + 141 = 360

⇒ 2x + 304 = 360

⇒ 2x = 56

⇒ x = 28

So, ∠ EML = x + 66 = 28 + 66 = 94° (Answer)
