A real life example of a positive correlation would be to to see an increase of popsicle sales when the temperature is warm. This would increase profit. 

A negative example would be to sell ice cream in the winter time. The temperature outside is cold, therefore people want to eat and drink warmer items. They would probably prefer cocoa at this time.

No correlation would be something like cake. Cake is eaten throughout each year and has never been out of style. This means sales would be steady throughout the year.

For each of these examples, I have attached an image provide showing work to fully understand the problem.

<em>Positive correlation</em>

<u>The number of kids at the playground and the number of swings being used</u>

<u />

As the number of kids at the playground increases, the number of swings being used will increase. When both variables increase, they have a positive correlation. Thus, the situation in this problem has a positive correlation.

If we sketch a scatter plot for this situation, notice that the number of kids at the playground would be on the x-axis and the number of swings being used would be on the y-axis.

We can predict that if the number of kids at the playground increases, then the number of swings being used would also increase. Since this is only a sketch, it's not important exactly where our points are. Instead, we simply want to draw the points so our scatter plot has a line of best fit line with an upward of positive slope.

The image for this correlation is the first attachment.

<em>Negative correlation</em>

<u>The amount of time Diaco spends goofing off in class and the grade Dicaco earns in the class</u>

<u />

Notice that if the amount of time that Diaco spends goofing off increases, his grade is likely to decrease. When one variable increases and the other decreases, they have a negative correlation. Thus, the situation in this problem has a negative correlation.

If we sketch a scatter plot for this situation, notice that the time goofing off would be on the x-axis and Diaco's grade would be on the y-axis.

We can predict that if Diaco spends little or no time goofing off, his grade will be high and if he spends a lot of time goofing off, his grade will be low. Since this is only a sketch, it's not important exactly where our points are. Instead, we want to simply draw the points so our scatter plot has a line of best fit with a downward or negative slope.

The image for this correlation is the second attachment.

<em>No correlation</em>

<u>The number of pets a family has and the number of kids in the family </u>

Notice that in most cases, the number of pets a family has is not related to the number of kids in the family. Thus, there is no correlation between the number of pets a family has and the number of kids in the family.

If we sketch a scatter plot for this situation, notice that the number of pets a family has would be on the x-axis and the number of kids in the family would be on the y-axis.

Since there is no correlation between the variables, the data points will be spread out and there will be no best fit line.

The image for "no correlation" is the third attachment.

The measure of an angle is seventy-one times the measure of a supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?
steposvetlana [31]

Let the smallest angle = x

Then the larger one = 71x

Supplementary angles are always equal to 180o

x + 71x = 180o Add the left side

72x = 180 Divide by 72

x = 180/72

x = 2.5

The smallest angle = 2.5 degrees

The largest angle = 2.5 * 71

The largest angle= 177.5 degrees.

Answer:The graph below represents which system of inequalities? graph of two infinite lines that intersect at a point. One line is solid and goes through the points negative 3, 0, negative 4, negative 1 and is shaded in below the line. The other line is solid, and goes through the points 1, 1, 2, negative 1 and is shaded in below the line

Step-by-step explanation:y ≤ −2x + 3 y ≤ x + 3 y ≥ −2x + 3 y ≥ x + 3 y ≤ −3x + 2 y ≤ −x + 2 y > −2x + 3 y > x + 3
