A common misconception in statistics is confusing correlation with causation. If two events are correlated, it merely means that they share the same behaviour over time, but it doesn't imply in any way that those event are related by a common cause, or even worse, that one implies the other.

You can find several (even humorous) counter examples online. For example, if you plot the number of reported pirates assault against the global temperature in the last years, you'll se that temperature is rising (unfortunately...) while pirates are almost disappearing.

One could observe this strong negative correlation and claim that hotter climate has solved the pirate issue. Of course this is a joke, but it explains why you shouldn't confuse correlation with causation.

(08.02)a pair of equations is shown below. 3x − y = 9 y = −2x + 11 if the two equations are graphed, at what point do the lines
mixas84 [53]
3x - y = 9
y = -2x + 11

3x - (-2x + 11) = 9
3x + 2x - 11 = 9
3x + 2x = 9 + 11
5x = 20
x = 20/5
x = 4

y = -2x + 11
y = -2(4) + 11
y = -8 + 11
y = 3

solution (where the lines intersect) is (4,3)

Solve the following problems mentally and match it to its corresponding solution.
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

<h3>1. t=10</h3><h3>2. t=4</h3><h3>3. t=40</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the term of t from one side of the equation.

<h3>1. 4t=40</h3>

First, you have to divide by 4 from both sides.

4t/4=40/4

Solve.

Divide the numbers from left to right.

40/4=10

<h3><u>t=10</u></h3>

<h3>2. 10+t=14</h3>

<u>First, change sides.</u>

t+10=14

<u>Then, subtract by 10 from both sides.</u>

t+10-10=14-10

<u>Solve.</u>

<u>Subtract the numbers from left to right.</u>

14-10=4

<h3><u>t=4</u></h3>

<h3>3. 70-t=30</h3>

First, subtract by 70 from both sides.

70-t-70=30-70

Solve.

30-70=-40

<u>Rewrite the problem down.</u>

-t=-40

Divide by -1 from both sides.

-t/-1=-40/-1

<u>Solve.</u>

<u />

<u>Divide the numbers from left to right.</u>

-40/-1=40

<h3><u>t=40</u></h3>

  • <u>Therefore, the correct answer is t=10, t=4, and t=40.</u>

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
