Each of 100 laboratory rats has available both plain water and a mixture of water and caffeine in their cages. After 24 hours, t

wo measures were recorded for each rat: the amount of caffeine the rat consumed, X, and the rat's blood pressure, Y. The correlation between X and Y was 0.428. Which of the following conclusions is justified on the basis of this study?
A. The correlation between X and Y in the population of rats is also 0.428
B. If the rats stop drinking the water/caffeine mixture, this would cause a reduction in their blood pressure.
C. About 18 percent of the variation in blood pressure can be explained by a linear relationship between blood pressure and caffeine consumed.
D. Rats with lower blood pressure do not like the water/caffeine mixture as much as do rats with higher blood pressure.
E. Since the correlation is not very high, the relationship between the amount of caffeine consumed and blood pressure is not linear.

Answer:

C. About 18 percent of the variation in blood pressure can be explained by a linear relationship between blood pressure and caffeine consumed.

Explanation:

Here, r = 0.428

∴ We can say it will give a positive curve, as 0.428 indicates it is a positive correlation.

Though the amount of correlation is low, still it is positive and more than 0.4

So, nearly about 18% of the variation in the blood pressure can be observed by the consumption of caffeine water. As consumption of caffeine water and blood pressure is both increasing so we can say that r= 0.428 will give a positive linear curve.

Why might parasitic roots have developed in plants like the mistletoe?
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Mistletoe is a parasite – it steals water and nutrients from trees. Technically, it is a “hemiparasite”, which means that it can generate some of its own resources through photosynthesis – it just needs that energetic kick from the sun to fuel the biological siege and subsequent invasion of the tree

An age pyramid with a broad base that quickly slopes up to a narrow top would be indicative of ________.
kiruha [24]

Answer:

A. a developing nation

Explanation:

Age pyramids are the age structure diagrams that represent the number and proportion of people at each age in a population. The base of the age pyramids represents the population in pre-reproductive age which is from 0 to 10 years. The overall shape of an age pyramid indicates if the population is increasing, stationary, or shrinking.

The age structure diagram for a developing nation has a broad base that tapers quickly towards the top. This means that a larger percentage of the population is in the pre-reproductive age group and reproductive age group with a smaller percentage of the population in the post-reproductive age. These countries have a great chance of future population growth.
