Write an equation and solve it. Call the length of the shorter piece "x", in this case, the longer piece is "3x". The sum of the two is equal to 116 inches.
This is too much good luck finding the answer
Ok so basically I dunno all the corr. coefict stuff, but...
in 10 sec it went for 4 to 8, that's doubled
then from 8 to 12 is, +4, 4×3
A. Just during these two intervals we have, y/x: 4/10, then 8/20, then 12/30
0.4, 0.4, 0.4, but then it goes 15/30 = 0.5
so it's not a perfect 100% (1.00) correlation, but it would be very close [I'd choose b) 0.99]
B. from 10-30mins, it went from 4 to 8 to 12
m = change in y ÷ change in x
m = (12-4)/(30-10) = 8/20 = 0.40
C. means that the rate there is 0.40 miles per min. steady, which is 0.40 miles/min × 60min/hr = 24mi/hr steadily without increase or decrease, but a slight decrease from 30-40
RARELY say Causation, Ehr on the side of caution... correlation when in doubt
