Answer:No. A strong correlation does not imply causation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cause and effect relationship is not explained by correlations. A cause and effect relationship can only be established by carrying out carefully controlled experiments.

Hence, a strong correlation between the the intake of soda and accidents does not necessarily imply that soda intake causes accident.

A lurking variable in this study may be the speed of the drivers. A lurking variable is not controlled but significantly impacts results obtained from the study.

Since the speed of the drivers is not strictly controlled, it may just be a lurking variable.

how many years (to two decimal places) will it take an investment of $17,000 to grow to $41,000 if it is invested at 2.95% compo
Fofino [41]

Answer:

30 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

P=$17,000

A= $41,000

R=2.95%

the expressio for the time is

t= ln(A/P)/r

t= ln(41,000 /17000)/0.0295

t= ln(2.41176)/0.0295

t= 0.8803/0.0295

t= 29.8

about 30 years

An elevator descends into mine shaft at the rate of 6m/min. If the descend starts from 10m above the ground level , how long wil
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer: Hi!

So first, I'm going to convert "350 below ground level" to -350, as this is what "below ground level" represents.

Now, we should find the total distance traveled. Take the absolute value of -350 (350) and add it to 10, the metres above ground level. This is 360.

We already know the rate of travel; 6m/min. All we have to do now is divide the total distance (360) by the rate of travel (6)!

360 ÷ 6 = 60

So, it took 60 minutes, or one hour, for the elevator to travel down the shaft!

Hope this helps!
