Answer:

Option b

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a  researcher measures IQ and weight for a group of college students.

In general, we think that the weight has nothing to do with IQ of a person and hence not correlated.

But if we go deep, we find that after a certain weight, the person becomes lazy and inactive with a chance to have reduced IQ

Weight gain causes also health problems including less activity of both brain and body and hence there is a chance for less IQ

So we find that as weight increases iq decreases and when weight decreases, IQ increases.

Thus we can say that there is a negative correlation but not necessarily near to one.

Hence option b is right

Can 5, 2, 4 be the measures of the sides of a triangle?
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Yes they can be the sides of the triangle

2 + 4 > 5

2 + 5 > 4

5 + 4 > 2

Thus the sum of two sides is greater than the third side and thus triangle with these sides are possible.

Which of the following is a graph of y &lt; x + 3?
Leni [432]
The graph will have a slope of 1 and a y-intercept of 3. That means it will cross the y-axis at 3, and will increase by 1 in the y direction for every increase by 1 in the x direction.
