8 and the P-value for correlation was 0.0005. Then a person who does not eat red meat will live longer than a person who has an 18 ounce steak every day.a. Falseb. True

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the correlation r was found to be 0.98 (a value closer to 1).  

Let X =how much red meat people consumed

let Y = how long they lived.

where the x-values are the values of the deviations of co-ordinates X from Xₙ, their mean value and the y-values are the values of the deviations of co-ordinates Y from Yₙ, their mean value.

That is, x=(X−Xₙ) and y=(Y−Yₙ).

The results of this determination give values of r lying between +1 and −1, where;

+1 indicates perfect direct  correlation,

−1 indicates perfect inverse correlation and

0 indicates that no correlation exists.

Between these values, the smaller the value of r, the less is the amount of correlation which exists.

Generally, values of r in the ranges 0.7 to 1 and −0.7 to −1 show that a fair amount of correlation exists.

therefore, it can be seen that there is a perfect relationship between the quantity eaten and how long the person live

But, the correlation does not consider those that does not consume meat, and it is very hard to determined the answer to the question.

the answer is false because there are other reasons that determined longevity of life apart from meat consumption.

A scientist is working with 14 meters of gold wire. How long will the wire be in millimeters?
Tcecarenko [31]
In a meter there are 100 cm.
In 100 cm there are 1000 mm. 

Therefore in 1 meter you have 1000 millimeters. 

Then to find out how many millimeters you have in 14 meters, you just multiply 14 by 1000 to give you 14000 mm.

Final answer= 14 m of gold wire is the equivalent to 14000 mm of wire.

1. If you knew that DE = \frac{1}{2}CB
Then you would know it is a mid-segment.

2. If you knew that CD =  DA and BE = EA  (point D and point E are midpoints of their respective segments)
