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.

Answer:

1) 22.5  A

2) 112    B

3) 430   L

4) 576   P

5) 486   L

6) 624  S

Code is A B L P L S

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Area of a triangle = 1/2 * base * height = 1/2 *5*9 = 22.5

2) Area of a parallelogram = base x height = 14 x 8 = 112

3) Area of a rectangular prism = 2(length * width) + 2*(length + height) + 2 *(length *height)

= 2(15x7 + 15*5 + 7*5)

= 2(105 + 75 + 35)

= 2 * 215

= 430

4) Volume of a triangular prism = 1/2 * base * length * height

= 1/2 * 8 * 16 * 9

= 576

5) A cube has six surfaces. Each surface has an area of s x s where s is the length of each side. In this case, each side has area of 9x9 = 81. Total surface area = 6 x 81 = 486 and that is the paper required

6) The trailer is a rectangular prism so its volume = length x width x height = 13 6 x 8 = 624

Now you have to look at each value and see which letter it corresponds to. For example answer 1) is 22.5 which lies between 0-100 so it gets letter A, answer (2) is 112 which lies in the range 101-200 so it gets the letter B and so on

Answer:

c = -6

d = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

After reflection about the x-axis:

A --> A'

(x,y) --> (x,-y)

(2,3) --> (2,-3)

(4,3) --> (4,-3)

(2,6) --> (2,-6)

After translation:

(2 + c, -6 + d) --> (-4, -4)

2+c = -4

c = -6

-6+d = -4

d = 2
