The correlation coefficient for poor hearing and loud music in a group of people is 0.67. Analyze the following statement: Poor

hearing is caused by listening to loud music. Is this a reasonable conclusion?

Answer:

Correlation does not mean <em>causation</em> even after having a relatively high correlation coefficient as a result.

Step-by-step explanation:

Correlation and causation are not the same. Correlation does not mean that variations in one variable <em>cause</em> variations in the second variable. Instead, correlation considers that variations in one variable <em>corresponds</em> with variations of the second variable. No more.

Correlation is an important first step to establish that one variable possibly can cause some effect on the other, but it is not a definitive answer to this question. It is crucial to find other possible factors that can explain what causes some effect.

As a conclusion, a positive and relative high correlation coefficient does not necessarily mean causation. It simply tells us that some study found that people that listen to loud music are also people with poor hearing problems, and possibly a cause to the latter variable is to listen loud music repeatedly, but it is a must to find other possible factors before definitely concluding that.

If a 5 foot post casts an 8 foot shadow at the same time that a nearby tree casts a 48 foot shadow how tall is the tree
andriy [413]
The first thing we are going to assume for this case is that the tree and the post are located in the same place.
 From that place, both cast a shadow in the same direction.
 We then have two similar triangles.
 Therefore, we have the following relationship:
 \frac{x}{48} = \frac{5}{8}
 From here, we clear the value of x.
 We have then:
 x = \frac{5}{8} *48
 Rewriting:
 x=30
 Answer:
 
the tree is 30 feet tall

You roll a 6-sided die.
Lerok [7]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\text{P(not factor of 35) = } \frac{2}{3}}

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use basic probability to find the probability that this roll is not a factor of 35.

First off, we know that with a six sided die there are 6 possible things we can roll.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6

Now, what are the factors of 35? The factors of 35 will be any whole number that can be multiplied by another whole number to get 35.

  • We know 1 \cdot 35 = 35, so two factors are 1 and 35.
  • We know 5 \cdot 7 = 35, so two factors are 5 and 7.

Therefore, the factors of 35 are 1, 5, 7, 35.

Both 5 and 7 are inside the range of 1-6. So the probability of rolling a side that's a factor of 35 will be  \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3} since there are two factors and 6 possible options.

This means, logically, there is a  \frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3}  chance of not rolling a factor of 35.

Hope this helped!

The figure shows the graphs of three functions. One is the position function of a car, one is the velocity of the car, one is it
Anika [276]

a) Is the twitch - initial positive twitch or sudden movement, which is what makes the car jolt into action.

b) is the acceleration - graph shows the acceleration and deceleration of the car.

c) is the velocity - starts at 0 and increases until the car travels at its right speed.

d) is the position - assuming that the car is going on only one direction. This graph is the only one that does not go back to the x-axis.
