Answer:

A correlation between objects is defined as the relation between the two things,like if one increases the second also increases and if one decreases, the second also decreases.

Causation implies that one event is the result of the occurrence of the other event.

However, correlation does not mean that the change in one thing is the cause occurred due to the change in other.

So, here in the given scenario, we only know the correlation that is between rainfall and the number of oranges a tree produces. The more the rainfall the more the oranges. The cause is not established.

Here, we cannot derive that "this mean that more rainfall causes orange trees to produce more fruit " as it does not mean that the rainfall causes the tree to produce more oranges. There can be some other factors as well.

No; just because there is a correlation does not prove causation. 

The correlation says that as the amount of rainfall increases, the amount of oranges produced increases as well.  It does not state what causes it.

Please help me!!! :(
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

15.75x^{10}y^{19}

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the 5th term in the expansion, we first will need to apply the binomial theorem. I have attached an image of the binomial theorem formula due to not being able to type it.

After applying the binomial theorem and simplifying, you should get:

512x^{18}y^{27}-576x^{16}y^{25}+288x^{14}y^{23}-84x^{12}y^{21}+\frac{63x^{10}y^{19}}{4}-\frac{63x^8y^{17}}{32}+\frac{21x^6y^{15}}{128}-\frac{9x^4y^{13}}{1024}+\frac{9x^2y^{11}}{32768}-\frac{y^9}{262144}

Our 5th term here is: \frac{63x^{10}y^{19}}{4} which is equal to 15.75x^{10}y^{19}

~Hope this helps! Sorry if my answer is confusing at all, it's pretty difficult to explain.~

Sq is an angle bisector m <qst=2x and m <qsr=3x-10 what is <rst
defon
Answer:
∠RST = 40°

Explanation:
We are given that:
SQ bisects angle RST.
This means that:
∠QST = ∠QSR
2x = 3x - 10
10 = 3x - 2x
x = 10

Therefore:
∠QST = 2x = 2(10) = 20°
∠QSR = 3x - 10 = 3(10) - 10 = 30 - 10 = 20°
Note that both angles are equal.

Now, we can get ∠RST as follows:
∠RST = ∠QST + ∠QSR
∠RST = 20 + 20 = 40°

Hope this helps :)

(-2,-1)(-1,2)(0,3)(1,4)(2,5) A: Function B: Not a function​
kupik [55]

Answer:

This answer is a function because there are no repeating x values. It is okay if there are repeating y values, the x values are the problem. This one has no repeats though so it is a function!

Can someone plz ummmm help me :))))))

The sequence is geometric. Any exponential function models geometric growth. Recall the general nth term of a geometric sequence is a*(r)^(n-1) which is very similar to the form y = a*b^x. The big difference is that the x function is continuous while the function in terms of n is discrete. In this case, the common ratio is r = 1.10 to indicate we have 10% growth. Notice how 100%+10% = 1.00+0.10 = 1.10

----------------------------------------

The first quadrant is where x and y are both positive. Since x is the time in years, it doesn't make sense to talk about negative years or negative years have passed by. We can have a negative balance in a bank account, so it makes sense to have y be negative. However, Mr Sullivan starts with some positive amount and his account grows every year. So there's no way that y can be negative in this case.

----------------------------------------

The point (0,200) is the y intercept. It represents the starting amount he deposited into the account, which was the $200. Keep in mind that no other deposits were made, and he cannot pull money out of the account if he wants his account to grow according to the graph. Also, the interest rate must remain at 10%.
