Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

No we cannot say that eating strawberries causes freckles. The question says that the study showed a strong positive correlation. The answer is no because a positive correlation does not mean that there is a causation. When two things are said to correlate, it does not mean that one causes the other, correlation between two things could be as a result of another third variable that affects the both of them. <u>The lurking variable here is going to be sunlight. </u>this is because sunlight exposure affects both variables by causing increases  in the growth of strawberries and freckles.

Tom buys a boat from a friend, and will pay his friend the same amount of money each year until the boat is paid for. The follow
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

The graph of amount Tom owes his friend after a given time, <em>t</em>, is a straight line graph with a negative slope

Please find attached the required example of a possible graph that shows the amount Tom owes his friend

Reason:

Let <em>A</em> represent the amount of money Tom buys the boat with, let <em>x</em>

represent the amount of equal payment made and <em>y</em> represents the

amount Tom owes the friend after a given time, <em>t</em>, we have;

y = A - x·t

Therefore, the slope of the graph formed is <em>-x</em>, the y-intercept of the graph

is <em>A</em>, from which the graph that gives the amount of money, in dollars, Tom

owes his friend, as a function of time, in years can be presented as follows,

using example values;

A = $25,000 (Amount the Tom agrees to buy the boat)

x = $5,000 (Amount Tom pays each year for the boat)

By plugging in the above example values, the attached graph can be drawn using MS Excel

A TV that usually sells for $192.74 is on sale for 25% off. If sales tax on the TV is 5%, what is the price of the TV, including
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are saving 25%, you are still paying 75%, right?  So the cost of the TV with a discount of 25% is 192.74(.75) which is $144.56

That's the cost of the TV on sale.  Now we need to find the sales tax amount, if the sales tax is .05 as a decimal.  We are paying $144.56 for the TV, which is 100% of the cost.  On top of that, we are paying another 5%.  So altogether, for the TV, we are paying 105% of the TV.  Therefore,

144.56(1.05) = $151.79
