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.

What’s 9/4 - 9/8 need it in a reduced fraction
Tasya [4]

Answer:

9/8 or 1 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

9/4 - 9/8

Need a common denominator, multiply 9/4 x 2/2

18/8 - 9/8

Subtract the top numbers

18-9 = 9

The eight stays the same

A student says that if the hypothesis is false, an argument cannot be valid. How do you respond ?
Anton [14]
If a student tells me that an argument that has a false hypothesis cannot be valid, I would reply that we need to look carefully at the meaning of validity in the context of logic.  In everyday speech, we tend to use “valid” to mean the same thing as “true” or “accurate.”  In logic, this is not the way the term is used.

Explain your reasoning in words or by drawing. 2/5=1/3
Radda [10]
In order to compare you must multiply the the bottom two by each other and then multiply the top one by the same number you multiplied the bottom one by. The answer is not equal because the first fraction is 6/15 and the second is 5/12.

F (x) = 3 (x– 4)^2– 12
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a parabola in standard form

f(x) = ax² + bx + c ( a ≠ 0 )

Then the discriminant Δ = b² - 4ac informs us about the nature of the zeros

• If b² - 4ac > 0 then 2 real and irrational zeros

• If b² - 4ac > 0 and a perfect square then 2 real and rational zeros

• If b² - 4ac = 0 then 2 real and equal zeros

• b² - 4ac < 0 then zeros are not real

Given

f(x) = 3(x - 4)² - 12 ← expand factor using FOIL

     = 3(x² - 8x + 16) - 12 ← distribute parenthesis by 3

     = 3x² - 24x + 48 - 12

     = 3x² - 24x + 36 ← in standard form

with a = 3, b = - 24 , c = 36 , then

b² - 4ac

= (- 24)² - (4 × 3 × 36

= 576 - 432      

= 144 ← a perfect square

Then 2 zeros are real and rational  and produce 2 x- intercepts
