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.

We know that

[the area of a circle]=pi*r²
for r=4 ft
[the area of a circle]=pi*4²------> 50.24 ft²

if 2π radians ( full circle) has an area of-----------------> 50.24 ft²
5π/2 radians--------------------------------------> X ft ²
X=(5π/2)*50.24/2π-------> 62.8 ft²

the answer is
62.8 ft²

A triangular table has angles with measures in the ratio 7:9:4. What is the measure of the smallest angle?
Paraphin [41]
The angles must add to 180 degrees.
Since the angles are in the ratio 7:9:4, their measures are not 7, 9, and 4 since 7, 9, and 4 do not add to 180.  If you multiply 7, 9, and 4 by the same number, the new numbers will be in the same ratio. Since we do not know what that number is, we can use x for it.

Multiply 7, 9, and 4 by x to get
7x, 9x, and 4x.
Now add them and set equal to 180.
Then solve for x.

7x + 9x + 4x = 180

20x = 180

x = 9

Now that we know x equals 9, substitute x with 9 and evaluate 7x, 9x, and 4x to find the actual angle measures.

7x = 7 * 9 = 63
9x = 9 * 9 = 81
4x = 4 * 9 = 36

The angles measure 63, 81, and 36 degrees.

Show how you solve the following two equations: 6x = 33 2/3x=8/15
LuckyWell [14K]
6x = 33 x= 33/6. x= 5 3/6 = 5 1/3


2/3x=8/15= x= 8/15÷2/3 x= 8/15 x 3/2 = 24/30 = 4/5
