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.

Choose the graph that matches the following system of equations: (6 points)
KengaRu [80]

The graph that matches the following system of equation is; the picture of a coordinate plane with line y equals negative 4x minus 1 and line y equals minus 3 over 2 times x plus 4. They intersect at negative 2, 7.

<h3>What is the graph of a function?</h3>

The graph of a function y = f(x) shows the position of the x-intercepts and y-intercepts from the graph from which the slope can be drawn.

The system of linear equations can be rewritten in slope-intercept form as follows:

y = -4x - 1

y = -3/2x + 4

From the graph, the two equations intercept at point (-2,7).
