<u>Answer: </u>

The statement can be evaluated by saying that a large lead that was to be chased by the third team before the game ended made them play more and caused a large margin. Here, the association is not causation.

<u>Explanation: </u>

  • The examination of the statistics done by someone who seems to be one of the players is incorrect.
  • It is so because though there is an apparent correlation between two different variables of the study, it has no role to play in the result of the study.
  • The lead margin secured by the third team and the overall lead of the teams that played under one coach cannot be said to have influenced each other.

Which sociological perspective would argue that the U.S. family contributes to social injustice and denies women opportunities t
suter [353]
A sociological perspective that would argue that the U.S family contribute to social injustice and denies women opportunities that are commonly extended to men would be feminists because they’d believe that the ‘system’ is created for women to fulfil their ‘ideal’ roles (housewives etc.) and not do ‘male-dominated’ careers like physics and mathematics etc.

PLZ HELP ME!!
timurjin [86]

Answer:

When the Italian explorer Christopher Columbus inadvertently discovered the Americas, it became known as the New World.

In a series of activities which were mostly commercial in nature for the benefit of Europe, crops (such as sugar, tobacco, chocolate, and potatoes), animals (such as horses), European culture, human populations (both slaves and colonial masters), technology, diseases, and new ways of doing things were exchanged between the "New World" and the "Old World"

   

In order to make for smooth colonial administration between the African leaders and the Colonial masters, African leaders were bribed with textiles, rum and manufactured goods from Europe.

Slaves were transported from Africa to the Americas to work on plantations of sugar , tobacco and cotton which were then transported to Europe.  

This trade is what came to be referred to as the Columbian Exchange.  

Europe is said to have benefited more from the Colombian Trade, as there has been a huge shift of resources to Europe , especially gold and silver from the New World and other regions.
