Answer:

Bus speed:  22 mph; Trolley speed:  14 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let rb represent the speed of the bus and rt the speed of the trolley.  Then rb = rt + 8 (mph).

Recall that distance = rate times time.  Two different distances and two different speeds are involved here, but only one time.

Thus,

             60 mi                                                           44 mi

     --------------------- = time (same in both cases) = -------------

          rt + 8 mi/hr                                                        rt

Cross-multiplying, we get   44rt + 8(44) = 60 rt, or

                                                    352 = 16rt.

Solving this for rt, we get    rt = speed of bus = 352/16 = 22 mph

The speed at which the bus travels is 22 mph and that at which the trolley travels is (22 mph - 8 mph) = 14 mph

A scientist measured the amounts of fertilizer given to plants, the heights to which the plants grew, and the amount of fruit th
pentagon [3]

Answer:

d. Since fertilizer is in both data sets and is positively correlated to both tree height and fruit yield, it is like that tree height and fruit yield are also positively correlated.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correlation refers to the relationship between two or more variables i.e how they are interrelated to each other. It can be positive, negative, perfect, etc

As we can see in the figure that in both the data sets the fertilizer contains the same values which depict that they are positively correlated with respect to the height of tree and fruit yield that derives that the height of tree and fruit yield is also positively correleated

Here positive correlation means that the two variables moving in a similar direction i.e if one variable increased so the other is also increased

Therefore the option d is correct
